Flashback Friday
Here is a Happy Friday Flashback moment to earlier this year when Rach and I celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary in DC along with the girls. Nothing like sharing special occasions with family.

Tickle Me Tuesday - Corny Book Jokes I’ve Heard

1. I’m reading a book about antigravity. It’s impossible to put down.
2. Why does the ghost always need more books? She goes through them too quickly.
3. Want to hear a joke about a piece of paper? Never mind...it’s “tearable.”
Just like these jokes! Hahaha...Happy Tuesday y’all!

No Secret!

What you seek is gained by the result of preparation, patience, consistency, and learning from failure.
Are you ready to put in the work?

Keepin’ it diverse. “A lack of diversity fails to expand a child’s love of reading or sense of self.” ~ Andrea Davis Pinkney

When children can’t find themselves in children’s books, that’s a problem.
I’m doing my part to solve it!

Parents, it’s up to us to have an impact on how our children view themselves and the world around them. Gift them a diverse book.

All children deserve to see themselves represented in the books they read.
Raise your hands if you agree!

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom.” Accept no one else’s definition of you or your life. It’s up to us to define ourselves.

Today is Women’s Equally Day. This is a day that commemorates the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment which in essence, gave women the right to vote.
What a shame that something so obvious had to be forced into existence. But there have been many shameful things in this country that needed to be rectified and still much more work to be done.
Let’s take a moment today to appreciate the historical significance of this day as we continue to push for the equity and equality that is supposed to be the promise of this nation.

This was the first stop on my Boys & Girls Club series of visits, which led up to the Power of Rhythm and Rhyme event. It was part of the Changing the Narrative project at the Virginia Humanities, which seeks to use stories to empower young children in under-served communities in Virginia.

On this day, I spoke to the students about poetry, the importance of reading, and presented my book, The Girl Who Carried Too Much Stuff.
