Community Innovations is thrilled to celebrate the success of the 3rd Colleton Voice program, a testament to the talented children and the power of mentorship in Colleton County. This local talent competition, founded by Shiela Keaise, has not only showcased the incredible talents of young singers but has also strengthened community bonds, linking business, resources, and families.
