Jitney was Magic

5B1E9CE3-CA84-4DA7-AABD-8F4C399A34BC
Had a mother/daughter outing this weekend in Charlotte, with my sunshine Amber J. We prepared for the theatre like it was a Broadway production, making reservations at Soho’s, parking at our favorite spot in downtown Charlotte and checking out the city before showtime. It was magical from beginning to end. Although I love the theatre, I had no...

Sister Pam

5B76BE24-828F-41AE-BF1C-88CA02A7D936
I guess most think I just post to be heard. I don't tell how many times I've been to the prisons, or how many grieving mothers I've consoled. I don't tell about how many homeless shelters I've stayed at or how many people I've feed. I don't cause FB ain't real. This crap ain't nothing but horns and whistles that make us dead but please don't assume...

Oh how I love Movement

E2B8C373-BFDF-48F9-B188-5433156CCF59
Leaving the Movement School is bitter sweet. As a Specialist of Language and Instructional Assistant for Mrs. Belle, I fell in love with the 1st graders, kindergarteners and all the other children. Giving hugs and encouragement was my favorite part of the day.  Movement is truly the best elementary school in Charlotte. And it’s where I se...

Teacher, Teacher

At times my heart would feel broken, when I couldn’t see him through it all, When he read his first words or worked out his math, But especially when I saw him fall, You see my child is a gift from God, He is exceptional in every way, So putting him into school was difficult but these teachers knew I didn’t play.  As a former educator myself, ...

Yet this sister still smiles . . . Happy Educators Week!!!

88B6E8ED-EC9B-4303-9D12-4524EDE75D30
I have a sister friend who always carries a smile. We just meet last year but we both joked about me not remembering her name which I now know is Verdina Worsley. Her greeting to me for the first six months was, “Ms. Price, what’s my name?” I would respond, “Wexford, Winters, Williams.” And she would give me a look, that st...

Education Plantation

B28A57E3-397B-405A-84AD-E93575CF9B08
​There is such bondage in ignorance. The education plantation is endless if you can’t master the basics. The basics are reading and math. Our schools have become the worst plantational system, leaving so many in the cracks. You feel trapped in “wanting to know” but you can’t escape to a place of “how to know”. I can remembe...

High Price for Free Lunch

336DA1C8-093B-4606-808F-CCFBCDBBA821
I still can remember, growing up in the 80’s, being in the school lunch line. This was before kids could discretely punch their ID number in. It seemed like every other child shouted it but in actuality it was only about 5% of the line in the area I grew up in. It was mostly Black kids that had to say it. You had to say it loud ...

Black Charlotte’s Finest - Rev. Dr. Dwayne Anthony Walker; the glue, a mighty vessel of God

5C61674B-43DB-4B3F-85C2-99BB00E8D3B8
​One of the most powerful acts my mother took when she migrated to Charlotte from Long Island, after my father’s death was to find a place of worship. There were many dark days after the head of our household transitioned. Yet my mother, through courage and faith built an alter in a new land, with few friends or family members. I was livi...
