Today’s HBCU/Homecoming Chronicles… We learned of the school system’s decision to not approve a mandatory African-American History class this week, but they did approve inclusion courses. I have thoughts on that, but for a later chronicle. Many people responded with, “Teach your children at home.” I agree because I was disheartened by some of the… Continue reading 10.27.2019

Today’s (Yesterday’s) HBCU, Football, Parenting Chronicles… HBCU…I returned to the Resume Drive yesterday where there were so many students, they had to be turned away and asked to come back today.

Last Thursday’s Gym Chronicles (inspired by a fbf’s post and sharing for the purposes of cultural sensitivity)… We have lots of health incentives going on at one of my jobs and I tried a meditation class to help meet a goal. Ran into my mother’s neighbor and her boyfriend. *Backstory…My mother has been living in… Continue reading 04.05.2019

Today’s HBCU Chronicles… In reference to the WFU IG post. The creator of the post is misinformed. There is no need to build a wall to make “us” pay for. The wall was built years ago. Both schools have taken strides to remove bricks, but as long as privilege and ignorance exist by the admitted… Continue reading 03.25.2019
