We have to instill in this next generation that there is more to life than just “chasing a bag.” I’m scared that we are watching a generation “chase a bag” with no desire to “leave an impact.” I watched my mom go to the nursing home on Saturdays to do elders’ hair with no compensation and no fanfare. Impact. I watched my village give their blood, sweat, and tears to make sure they left their community better than they found it. Impact. Again, there’s nothing wrong with “getting a bag,” but that can’t be the totality. And if we are going to embrace this “bag chasing” culture, we must at a minimum instill a level of uncompromising integrity while doing it: professionalism, being astute in business affairs, honesty, and high character. While I admire this “go get it” culture that’s rising, if it’s not connected and grounded in humility and a level of servanthood, we will breed a selfish and egotistic generation that’s not interested in the overall well-being of their community. We will have a lot of hustle and no impact.

There are people praying for you privately & silently rooting you on. Be encouraged. Don’t give up. This is your sign.
KEEP GOING!

Your subliminal post, your petty reactions, your re-post of shady posts to justify your feelings, your desire to cuss them out & to see them receive their “karma” are all indicators that you are not ready.

It’s not about them. It was never about them. It was about your character. If you can’t handle them on this level, then you really aren’t ready to handle the new “them” on “that” level. These “tests” are your indicators. You keep taking it personal. This season is about keeping your hands clean & your heart/motives pure.

It’s not about them. It’s about YOU and your character. You will keep repeating this same course until you pass. 🚀🙏🏿💪🏿

Most of the battles we win, will be won in private. There won’t be any fanfare. No one will pat you on the back. The applause will be deafening. That doesn’t mean you didn’t win. No one celebrates the foundation of a thing. They only appreciate the height. You have to be ok with winning in private. Truth is, the private victories are what build your foundation. Don’t abandon your foundation, because people are applauding “their” skyscraper. You keep building. You don’t want to be a public success & a private failure. Keep building your foundation. Your roots must run deep, in order for your success to be long-lasting. Run your race. Keep building, brick by brick. The private victories are preparation. You’ve got this. 🧱🧱🧱

HERE WE GO,

RSHS African American Studies — BLACK HISTORY EVENT is an act of LOVE from beginning to end. To pull off an event like this you HAVE to have an amazing team! There’s no way that we would have been able to pull this event off TWICE without the help of Tiffany GerMaine Covington, Yashica Diggs, Fuminque Lacross Dumas, India Fields & Tamara Martin this event would not have been possible. They helped with making sure students got there, helped rehearse with students, filled in everywhere there was a gap & helped to keep me calm when my anxiety was getting the best of me.

“Excellent IS the standard & perfection will ALWAYS be the goal.”

Jay Tillman - There are very FEW people I trust with my vision & you are one that I know I can leave and it will get done the way that I would do it.

Donald Pettigrew & Teddy Moseley - Thank you for allowing my students and I to sell 50/50 tickets at the games. This isn’t possible without your help & support.

Rachel. - Thank you for the custom embroidered jean jacket & shirt on Saturday!

Pamela Robinson - THANK YOU for being my personal prayer warrior and intercessor. The way you cover me is immeasurable. THANK YOU for being my sound board and my forever support. You didn’t say a word in that dressing room Wednesday night, but I know your spirit was praying. I felt it all evening. Thank you😭🙏🏿. This assignment is heavy, but your prayers hold me up & together.

Jared Gatewood - I can’t thank you enough! I told you yesterday, what you saw was ALL YOU. You sat with me and went through that curriculum & gave me the courage I needed to tackle it and make it my own. I’m teaching this subject, because you gave me the tools to do it.

Jim Butler - Thank you for the opportunity to teach this class & the freedom to accomplish something of this magnitude.

Parents/Guardians & Friends - Thank you for coming, clapping, singing along, crying & enjoying this “experience”. You all really understood the assignment. I pray you felt the LOVE that is stitched into this. I hope you felt joy, peace & left inspired. Your support & encouraging words means the world to my students and I.

My African American Studies Students - To thee most talented students that the WORLD has to offer! Thank you for showing up and showing OUT! Thank you for going over and beyond to make this experience one that is memorable. THANK YOU for stepping in when others weren’t able to make it. Thank you for allowing me to fuss, talk junk and say “Do it again”. Thank you for selling 50/50 tickets allowing us to support this amazing vision we have. You all are my “WHY” & I on my worst day, you all show up & I appreciate you all more thank you know. “They carry on BAD, but imma stick beside ‘em.”
