Even now in 2025, Dr. Coppertino is still the Renaissance Woman of the 21st Century.

Marcia’s influence transcended the corporate world. As a political strategist, she understood the power of the political system to enact positive change. Her association with the The National African American Missions Council (NAACM) as the National Director of Marketing in 2024 confirmed her commitment to racial equality. Her involvement with the TRUMP Congressional District Focus Group USA in the same year demonstrated her willingness to engage across the political spectrum.

But Marcia wasn’t driven solely by worldly success. Her faith was a cornerstone of her being. An ordained and licensed Christian Evangelist, she offered spiritual guidance and served as a voice for persecuted Christians. Her association with VOM (Voice of the Martyrs) speaks for itself her firm commitment to religious freedom.

Marcia’s achievements were numerous. Recognized as a Forbes Memo Emerging Leader Changing the World, she was also a Robert Wood Johnson Social Services Leader. Her tireless work earned her the title of 2021 Beverly Hills Main Street Mentor of the Year, followed by a remarkable triple win as the 2021, 2022, and 2024 Beverly Hills Businessperson of the Year.
