Better Together: Why Inviting Another Family Makes Activities More Fun #FamilyFun Sometimes family activities can feel like another item on the to-do list. However, doing those activities with another family makes them more fun! Whether it’s a trip to an amusement park , a visit to the local pool , or trip to a pumpkin patch , including another family can multiply the fun in amazing ways. One of my favorite moms to collaborate with is my friend, Ayana Ledford who's pictured above with her daughter Sahar. We have done all of the things listed as seemingly random examples above and here is how including her and her daughter (and sometimes her son too) has made the events more fun. On the date above, Ayana almost left the venue because parking was a nightmare. That said, she hung in there and we would up having a great time!

My Mom, An Inspiring Working Mom

Me and my mom
I am a hardworking, working mom. However, like a friend of mine would say, I didn’t invent the gig. Indeed, I follow in the footsteps and stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, including my own mother.

Her birthday is on February 9th. So, I wanted to acknowledge her. My mother is incredibly accomplished and is currently the Executive Director of Education for The Hillside Family of Agencies. Recently, she was the keynote speaker at Geneva’s 45th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. memorial service.


I just read the article discussing her speech and she dropped knowledge. She discussed what Dr. King’s life meant to her, the importance of parents having a vision for their children’s lives, and how education is the key to success. She also emphasized that the race is not over and the battle for equality has not been won. I’ve heard that she had the crowd on its feet, which is no surprise.


What can I say? My mom is a ROCK STAR!!! Here's the article discussing her speech. http://www.fltimes.com/news/geneva-mlk-speaker-urges-audience-to-work-toward-addressing-inequities/article_3376fc80-bec4-11e5-b3bd-ef2f7d4178d5.html
