"During my work as a Coach in Workforce Development and a Counselor for adjudicated youth, I have learned that there is a common theme between those unable to connect to employment and those who are young and misguided. "Self-worth and being given a Fair Chance."

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored. My statement: obama.medium.com/my-statemen…
I totally enjoyed my first week on the job as a Counselor for the Juvenile Justice Center with the City of Philadelphia's Department of Human Services! I am looking forward to putting all my previous work experience and heart into the lives of our city's youth!

You can’t live on autopilot and just think whatever comes your way. If you do, negative thoughts will dominate. You have to be proactive. If you’ll fill your mind with the right thoughts there won’t be any room for the wrong thoughts.

I don’t know what battle you’re fighting today. I don’t know what need is in your life. I don’t know what mountain you’ve got to climb, but you’ve got a choice: fear or faith? Fear says, “It is over.” Faith says, “It is well.”

We've all been given a voice! Sometimes we have to use it loud, to sound the alarm on injustices that we see everyday in our communities.
