Let’s catch up: in May, I had the opportunity to speak at the UMC Northern IL Asian American and Pacific Islander event. I was blessed to share space and be in community with Rev Jesse Jackson Sr. #AggiePride

Let’s catch up: in June, I had the opportunity to spend time with the Arkansas Arkansas United Methodist Conference and New England conferences NEUMC. In New England, we celebrated Bishop Devadhar’s upcoming retirement.

Today, I had the distinct opportunity to speak at Holman UMC. I had the opportunity to meet Rev. James Lawson, former Methodist Missionary and giant in the Civil Rights movement.

The United Methodist Church Connection is everywhere! I randomly ran into Bennett College President Suzanne Walsh Suzanne Walsh in Los Angeles after lunch today. I am a member of St. Matthews in Greensboro, where Bennett College began!

Thank you for having me!

The not so glamorous part of my job. My body is now on Pacific Time and I’m back on the East Coast, and my body was on Eastern time the entire time I was in California. 😩
