The Power Of The Ballot Tour. It was a joy to see so many young people being engaged around civic engagement and wanting to be a part of making sure our community and Black history is not erased.

Vote Lead Impact

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in London and Paris in October at The Links, Incorporated Global Black Women’s Summit. I explored the African influence in Paris with a tour, which ranged from the Egyptians to Josephine Baker.  It was a great opportunity to relax, learn, and explore. 

And I celebrated my 24th Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Founders’ Day with some of the amazing women I know — working to exemplify scholarship, service, finer womanhood, and sisterhood!

All About the Ballots

My oldest, most favorite 23-year-old graduated with a degree in Social Work from Bennett College and started her accelerated track for her masters in social work at Savannah State. She is focused and determined to show up at any given moment as her best possible self at that time.
