Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We celebrate you, your love, and your legacy today. The world is better because of your commitment to justice, equity and true peace. #MLK

Thank you, MLK, for your sacrifices. As you suffered physical abuse. While marching on highways. While boycotting buses & businesses. While sitting-in at lunch counters. It’s nice to celebrate you today. But let us honor your life by more than just talking about it. #DOthework

Key lessons shared last night @ March Dadness @PiedmontIB by keynote Jacotron Potts: Work hard Despite obstacles you will face, keep a positive attitude Never give up Remember, hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard Get the right support system Persevere

Takeaway from author Dr. Ken Morton’s Friday workshop for dads @PiedmontIB’s March Dadness. We’re all on a journey. Everyone’s journey is different. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. It’s YOURS. Embrace it.

Started today Joseph W. Grier Academy at a volunteer appreciation breakfast. Ms. Hughes referenced an African proverb: The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. Got me 🤔. Whose village are you part of — and who’s part of your village?
