It means this...
With over 1.65 BILLION active monthly users on Facebook -- we are reaching a small segment of the globe with the use of one blog post!! (Remember, 'it takes a village' at every stage of life.)
It means that more women are being encouraged and empowered to educate themselves.

Mothers are pummeling their way out of poverty!


As a society, we are no longer living in a silo. We must continue to wage valiantly and fiercely in this battle called poverty! Thank you for your commitment, courage and strength to catapult a message of education to the masses.


Dr. Maya Angelou once stated, "When people know better, they do better." And I believe that to be true.


On the front page of the July 2016 edition of the Woodlawn Villager, I spotlight a Baltimore City comedienne, Meshelle, the friendship she has with Grammy Award Winner Regina Belle and their united effort in supporting area teenage girls.

Together, let's salute academic efforts and achievements in ways that will make a difference by:

1. Sharing the news article.
2. Post a comment of hope and inspiration.

3. Share the blog with your networks.


Lastly, please respond to this post sharing your thoughts and ideas on what type of content we should develop and have a conversation about, who we should feature in an upcoming article and future blog posts. Together, we can share, comment, dispel the myth and make a favorable impact. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
