The month of May is always a month of celebration and
milestone for me. May opens up
with the recognition that I am blessed to have three children who get an
opportunity to hit their dad up for money so they can purchase Mother’s Day
gifts for me. Shortly after
Mother’s day, I celebrate my birthday on May 16th. This year I am celebrating the fact
that I am 52 years old, in good health and ran I ran my first half-marathon
just a few weeks ago!
Another significant point of celebration for May 2015, is
the graduation of my oldest son, Johnathan better known as JohnEli, is
graduating from high school. He is
a fine young man, who received the Oprah Winfrey Scholarship along with other
scholarships that will help his parents pay his tuition at Morehouse College
where he will be attending in the Fall 2015.
However, of the all the celebrations in the month May, the
one that is very dear to me is the celebration of women who are connected to my
dream, My Sister’s Keeper Foundation for Women. For the past 8 years, I have dedicated my birthday to
fundraising for MSK Foundation for the purposes of “Moving Women from Average to Excellence.” Each year that I get the
opportunity to empower women through this influential leading organization is
worth celebrating!
This year, I’m inviting to join the celebration by
purchasing a ticket to attend the MSK Women of Excellence Awards and
Scholarship Dinner that will be held on my birthday, May 16th www.eventbrite.com/e/msk-women-of-excellence-awards-scholarship-luncheon-tickets.
You can also make a tax-deductible donation to MSK Foundation on our website at
www.mskfoundation.org. There you will learn more about our
organization and the work we do in empowering women and girls. Finally, you can
spread the word about MSK Foundation and encourage women to connect with us
through our life changing programming or by volunteering to serve with us in
the future.
Thanks in advance for Celebrating the Month of May with Me!
