1999 in NYC...first trip to the big Apple. First steak, first cab ride and so much more. Coolest part of this trip? I met Ruth Ellington and Kweisi Mfume at the awards show. I didn’t want to leave, like who else is here? 😀😀 I can’t remember what hotel this was but we could see #TimesSquare from the hotel. I will always be grateful for my years in #ACTSO and the rich experiences gained in only two years. We represented well this year and you know what? I’m still in touch (through social media) with some of the friends I met back then. How cool is that?!? (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN_Mo-vDUqW/?igshid=19r5jf9ftctwl

Amidst the heartbreak that I’m experiencing within myself, my son, my family, my friends, my people, this country, I got to do one of my favorite things in the world today... inspire the youth to aspire in STEM. I participated as an Engineering judge for some of the best and brightest in Illinois. This NAACP program encourages high academics and achievement for minority students, giving opportunity and resources to succeed in this disproportionate system. #OlympicsOfTheMind #ACTSO #STEM #Engineering #VirtualLife #GiveBack #BlurredAppCodingSorry https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1QLh7Fu5Lv1viGSmZ8JPeqKBYXUw2riQvSJ40/?igshid=1gs8qox9arsx7
