Winston For Good Heroes:
Z Jackson Embodies Service and a Great Generosity of Spirit

Zeora Jackson—who is called Z by those fortunate enough to know her—is a real-life superwoman with a giant heart. 

Z has served as the Houston office’s Winston for Good Coordinator since 2011 when she joined Winston along with 40+ attorneys from Howrey. She was recommended for the role shortly after arriving at Winston and she said it has been a huge blessing for her. During the past decade, she has been able to introduce Houston partners and professional staff to several community-based nonprofits, which have benefited immensely from Winston’s support.

One of Z’s favorite Winston for Good charities is Child Advocates, Inc., which trains and mobilizes court-appointed volunteers to be a voice for children in foster care. Every holiday season, she helps bring a little joy into these children’s lives by distributing “Santa’s Wish Lists” for the children, which generous attorneys and professional staff fulfill.

I am grateful to be at Winston. The partners and professional staff are so kind and generous, and the firm is committed to helping others. I am a servant by nature and Winston allows me to be who I am.

— Zeora Jackson, Regional Senior Manager, Facilities & Operations

Every summer, Z brings Winston’s summer associates to the Houston Food Bank, where they pack food for distribution to schools in the community. And every second and fourth Saturday of the month, you will find Z volunteering with her church at the Houston Food Bank, helping to package food and other essentials for those who are less fortunate.

An adept marathon runner who has completed 14 full marathons and 10 half marathons, Z also serves as a volunteer running coach at her church and has empowered 60+ fellow parishioners to cross the finish line of their first 5K. This year, one of her trainees completed his third marathon and he had never run a race before training with Z. While she does it for the runners, Z said she ends up benefiting too because she likes to be of service, and this gives her the opportunity to do just that.
