In January of 2021, Sims was the recipient of the Global Youth Service Day Grant ($300) that was sponsored by “Black Girls Rock, Inc.” Sims says, “I was especially grateful to receive the Global Youth Service Day Grant because it allows me to continue my community work projects.” The grant stipulated that she could use the funds to pick any organization to give back to her community and Sims provided backpacks to kids in her hometown of Tupelo.
