COVID-19 CHRONICLES

I pray that you are all doing well and that you are finding ways to stay encouraged during the pandemic. It is not easy to be isolated but we must all do our part to stay safe and stop the spread. Masks, gloves and clorox wipes are our best friends. I have made the most of the circumstances and have done my best to stay uplifted and to enjoy the good times with my children and the video calls with family and friends. Special thanks to all of the essential workers for their hard work and dedication. Please reach out to me if I can be of assistance to you and your family during this time period. Prayerfully, we will be out of this in the near future.

In the meantime, I will share two shows that I enjoyed very much: Ozark (Netflix) and Little Fires Everywhere (Hulu) and two movies that I loved watching: Frozen 2 and The Banker.

My most special memory was celebrating my 50th birthday via zoom calls, Facetime and Facebook live parties with DJ Emcee, DJ Andre Mack and DJ Lyvwyr - thanks for making my birthday a lot of fun. We definitely made lemon drop martinis from the lemonades we were given.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

As a social entrepreneur, I will continue to make community service a priority and so I am happy to share our first initiative/fundraiser to show some love to the HS seniors graduating from The Greatest Investment Girls Empowerment Program and Tech Sassy Girlz. I hope you will join us and share this opportunity with your network. PLEASE! :)

Many of you can remember what it felt like as you neared the last days of high school before graduation...it was an exciting time full of celebration with family, friends and classmates as well as a time of great optimism as you prepared for college and the next chapter of your life.

Unfortunately, many of our SENIORS have had to miss out on this because of COVID-19, but we will not let it stop the celebration. Soooo, we hope that you will join us in raising funds to create graduation gift baskets for 20 deserving young ladies. You can make donations via this link.

Items that we are in need of purchasing for each young lady include:

Shower caddy with toiletries
Bed set with comforter (we will provide gift cards so they can choose a set of their liking).
