Today’s Virus Chronicles… “Professionalism” is thrown out the window now that people are fearful of the virus. Communication has been issued encouraging people to air fist-bump or elbow bump instead of shaking hands. We’ve been greeting each other like that…

Today’s “When you know better, you do better” Chronicles… Pic 1…Offered a “laugh to keep from crying” moment when I opened my student loan statement. My student loan statements are shown to Michai when I discuss why he is participating in the Dual Enrollment program at FTCC. A friend discussed how Dual Enrollment wasn’t an… Continue reading 03.04.2020

Today’s CIAA Chronicles… I will miss my comrades, but I could not justify Blessing the city of Charlotte another year by paying increased prices, double what I paid last week at the same venues, while the CIAA allows them to commit grand theft. The amount they profit has increased, while their “donation” is pretty much… Continue reading 02.27.2020

Today’s Black History Month Chronicles… It’s HBCU Day/Night with the Hornets, sponsored by Blue Cross NC. It was a great idea to travel with 4 guys when I learned about this event…Pic 1. Now that the day is here…I have learned/heard way too much from said 4 guys. They started the day at a HBCU… Continue reading 02.22.2020

Today’s Meeting/Black History Chronicles… Instead of a lady excusing herself, she continues to disrupt the meeting with her cough. I look over trying to understand why she’s not drinking her water, only to see her cough is UNCOVERED and that she’s probably coughing because she’s PAINTING HER NAILS. This is why I don’t like to… Continue reading 02.15.2020

Today’s Black History Month Chronicles… Thank you to a Human Relations committee member for sending info about tonight’s conversation with Attorney Benjamin Crump. He talked about SO MUCH! I’ll share a few points (from other speakers as well), and will maybe blog about it when I get my energy up. •Picture your black son, nephew… Continue reading 02.12.2020

Today’s Healthcare Day Chronicles… Closing out my yearly Leadership Winston-Salem duties with a day about the complexities of healthcare. Along with the info in Pics 1, 2 and 3, we learned there is a 20 year decrease in life expectancy in the 27101, 27105 and 27107 zip codes compared to the rest of the zip… Continue reading 02.05.2020

Today’s Black History Month Chronicles… I’ve been invited to the International Civil Rights Center Museum Gala for the past few years and, each time, it’s been reinforced why I can’t turn a blind eye to injustice. Most of the time, my guest to the Gala is Pic 1, Denise James. Last year, her knee wouldn’t allow… Continue reading 02.03.2020

Today’s High School Registration Chronicles… Another informative AAMPED session and another disappointing number of attendees. The organizers work hard to provide info/services outside of what schools offer. Don’t quote me (as some of you have lately 👀🙄), but programs like this usually operate from grant funding. Funders decide their grant amounts based on outcomes which include… Continue reading 01.29.2020
