It’s back-to-school Sunday at church, and this outfit tells a story (a testimony).
First, please excuse my eclectic color choices
The pants are baby blue and white for Aldine High School…Awldine..woo woo woo! My dad was a single father and worked to make ends meet. I worked after school, and I wasn’t exposed to much career readiness.
The t-shirt speaks for itself, repping my Alma mater Texas A&M University …whoop! A school I entered because of an equity-based academic scholarship.
My accessories tell even more:
My ankh necklace that I bought in Egypt the first time I visited the Continent, and the earrings with the same symbol reflect my trip to the Motherland of Sub Saharan Africa before stating my firm with corporate philanthropy in mind.
The bracelet and purse are from my recent trip to Ghana, where back-to-school has a new powerful meaning because the school we helped build through our donations is now open.
The energy and enthusiasm of back-to-school is different for children in under resourced areas, and that’s why I’m committed to serving non-profits who focus on education equity. I’d love if you joined me
Quick reminders from my “fit”:
✅Your story holds lessons someone else needs, share it generously.
✅Your purpose and position go hand in hand, as you’re elevated, take others with you.
✅Money needs a purpose, our paychecks mean more when giving is a priority.
✅Disparities don’t just disappear, they need action and resources to be removed.
So join me in supporting these equity-based non profits that are near and dear to my heart:
❤️ SUPERGirls SHINE Foundation (providing STEM opportunities for young girls in under resourced communities in Houston)
❤️ Work.Meaningful Foundation (building a tech lab in the new school in an under resourced area in Ghana)
