Injustice is not only unfair, but it's unhealthy as well. Almost everything about injustice, ranging from stress to death, negatively impacts one's overall health. Still, I am waiting on a rationale explanation for Trayvon Martin's death; the way the police department handled his death reminds me of the way my Uncle Kenny bled to death, because the deputies failed to search for him...
Meanwhile, my pen is in hand. In other words, this is a heads up on my upcoming article about Trayvon Martin's death.
Despite the controversy and my very opinionated nature, something clearly stinks about this case...
My book signing at Rita's Shoe Closet was fun and productive. Thanks everyone for coming out. Particularly, thanks to Rita Brown for hosting my signing, and to my friend Darlene, my mom and her husband Anthony.
I am sooooooo pleased to announce that my plans to study PHARMACY REGULATION AND POLICY at University of Florida (Go Gators) have been finalized. I've been admitted to their College of Pharmacy, where I can now execute the first step of my continuing education plans, which will ultimately make me Dr. Pepper. I have been looking forward to this for a long time!!!
Young Black Girls are more vulnerable now, than ever. The media continues to exploit negative images of young Black girls with short skirts, low-cut blouses, and a house full of children with fathers who are nowhere to be found. Some may call it disgusting. Others may shrug their shoulders and think it to be a mere reality. However, the reality of the matter is unreal.
Yes, there's a significant number of young Black girls in need of guidance and etiquette training. But there are plenty of young Black girls who do have the luxury of guidance and etiquette training from wise and loving guardians. The roundtable discussion at the Moore Multicultural Center in Mims, Florida on Saturday, February 28, 2012 is a prime example of the kind of dialogue that the Black Community needs.
The discussion was centered around the million dollar question, “How did we get here?” The four panel members are Christian, professional, community-oriented, and willing to give insight to young Black girls. During the discussion, each of the four men (three of whom are married) described the characteristics of a young lady suitable to “take home to momma.” More importantly, the panel members explained their perception of the impact of a young lady's behavior and appearance on their careers and credibility.
Each of the panel members took the time to explain exactly what young men are discussing about young ladies. They further explained some of the ideas that young men have in mind, when they meet young ladies; much of which is attributed to the way young ladies present themselves in their dress, behavior, and the environments where they most often congregate.
The panel members left the audience with a few solid points to ponder. Two of those points include: 1) Young ladies and men should be getting trained at home and by churches, mentors, sororities & fraternities; and 2) It's vital that youth are adequately taught Black history, so as to better understand their roles and direction.
My next book signing is scheduled for Saturday, March 24, 2010 from 2pm until 6pm at one of the hottest shoe stores in Brevard County.

My mom used to play a song called, "Put it on paper," when I was a little girl. I've since learned just how important documentation really is! In regard to health care, the medical record is the ultimate documentation. So, everyone now and then, I write an article pertaining to medical records and its integral role in the delivery of health care services. This time, I entitled my medical records article, "GET IT IN WRITING."
Examples of situations that rely on medical records? Sure. Coming right up!!! Medical emergencies, childbirth, family planning, lawsuits (including child custody), guardianship, health insurance, life insurance, insurance billing, health statistics, military career, concealed weapons permit, career in security, career as a pilot, hospital/medical careers, overseas travel, surgery, abortion, grade school, college, participation in clinical trials, and change of physicians, just to name a few.
Take a look by clicking on the title above, "Put it on paper."
