A LIFE WELL LIVED!

HONORING THE MEMORY OF ALEXIS HERMAN

(Washington, D.C.)---She was "feminine, fearless, and proud to tell anyone was a Mobilian.  Alexis Herman, former U.S. Labor Secretary made me and so many girls growing up along the Gulf Coast believe "anything is possible if you work hard!"

Alexis Herman dedicated her life to public service, championing equality and justice for all.

Her quiet, southern demeanor was instrumental in settling some of the biggest labor disputes during her tenure.  

My siblings and I was always in awe of your brilliance and dedication to all the dreamers who came behind you.

Take your rest Madam Secretary, your work here is done.  Thank you for your service to the nation.

HAMILTON THE MUSICAL IN CHATTANOOGA

 BROADWAY MUSICAL 

(Chattanooga, TN.) --HAMILTON THE MUSICAL--It's both intense and exhilarating!  The smash-hit Broadway musical is making its round in the Scenic City.  This week Lin-Manuel Miranda's hip-hop biography of Alexander Hamilton is selling gout to the delight of music lovers along the Tennessee Valley.

Thank goodness for incredible friend and donor who insisted I take a minute to selfishly immerse myself into this beautifully crafted American Musical.  If you haven't done this for yourself yet please do so, you won't be disappointed.  I'm so grateful for friends who don't play about me and vise versa.
