Yesterday’s Financial Literacy Chronicles… I saw the attached article on Kismet’s page and began sharing it and/or asking people if they had an estate plan. I started talking to Michai about my wishes and that, although I don’t have much property, I want to make sure he doesn’t end up having to fight in court… Continue reading 12.03.2019

Today’s WSFCS Superintendent Listening Session Chronicles… I thought I would be listening to Dr. Hairston discuss her plans for the district. Had I known she was going to be listening to the audience, I probably wouldn’t have gone because these events can be awkward. Dr. Hairston can talk, but she was “talking good” and differently… Continue reading 11.20.2019

Today’s High School Chronicles… Mount Tabor offers a forum series and tonight’s session was about Mental Health. Great information was offered, most of which I already knew from previous discussions or learned about from experience. What was startling to learn is how young students have been found vaping (3rd Grade) and how the CBD edibles,… Continue reading 11.19.2019

Today’s Community Chronicles… It has taken me 24 hours to get my mind together after attending the “Dismantling the Benefits Cliff” session where I participated in a simulation involving real financial situations families (mine included) in our community faced/face (insert a comma where you see fit). A few things discussed that alerted me: •It’s very… Continue reading 11.13.2019

Today’s Adventure/Football Chronicles… Michai had an 8a appointment and I had a 930a appointment to get my car serviced. Times are important because we were out late at the game last night and neither of us are morning people. We were sitting in the waiting area and the couple in Pics 1 and 2 decided… Continue reading 11.09.2019

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 Chronicles cont’d… Football/Parenting…The team took a loss last night on and off the field. Off the field Michai learned some valuable lessons. He finally recognized the responsibilities attached to being a leader and how he can’t hype the team up before the game but be a poor sport during and after the game. He… Continue reading 09.06.2019 part 2

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. Students were much more prepared, engaged and excited about their next steps. I still don’t agree with this generation’s expectations but I don’t get… Continue reading 09.06.2019

Today’s Holiday Chronicles… There are pros and cons to being single. Pro: When I’m gifted a single event ticket, I can just go. My body is tired but I’m glad I pushed myself to attend because I am a music fan…Video 1. This event has also confirmed I’m not a fan of scatting; it makes… Continue reading 09.01.2019

Today’s AAMPED (African American Males Pursuing Educational Dreams) Chronicles… I’m not going to fuss…I’m not going to beg. I am going to say I am disappointed in the lack of participation of African American males in grades 6-12. They have funding, that I’m sure doesn’t come easy, to offer programs specific to OUR young men,… Continue reading 08.28.2019
