Blend In

It takes a village to raise a child. Nowadays we as black people are in competition with each other too much to help each other out. There isn't much reaching back and bringing up our fellow brothers/sisters and too many don't want people to take their spotlight.

Oh, what we could all learn from each other if we just work together. There is strength in numbers and until we realize it, we won't prosper as our ancestors fought for us to. During slavery our people had so little, but they had their faith, songs, and each other. How many of you can truly say you have a solid support system to boost you up or pray with you when times get hard?

Every time I've leveled up, I always told the people I was leaving behind if there is a position or stepping stone for you where I am going I will be sure to let you know. I don't mind sharing recruiters or resources I want us all to WIN.

This leads me to my point of this blog blended families. Everyone I know with a blended family can tell you I always tell them I love blended families. No matter the issues between adults those children didn't ask to be here. So, don't take your anger or frustrations out on them.

To see divorcees still attending family invites of their ex-spouse’s family even if one or both parties are remarried all in the name of love and family is a blessing.

People will tell you I am big on family and helping others. So, if I can fill in as auntie or big sister to a child in need I am there. I have so many non-blood related family members it's not funny. My heart is just that big and open. Be a blessing to someone, you never know if they have any living relatives or not. Don't mistreat or abuse the love given to you by a step-child or step-parent. Let's spread love and not hate.

Remember I LOVE YOU!!!

This is how it started...

       I was asked to answer a table topic question. Table Topics is an impromptu question given to you by the Table Topics Master. You have 1-2 minutes to answer the question with a 30 second grace period. My first time being called on for Table Topics I was so nervous and shaking in my shoes.     I signed up for my Pathway & set out to start my Toastmaster journey. My first Pathway was Leadership Development. I gave my first speech which was an icebreaker to my club on December 7, 2019, titled, "Who is Kennedi?"     Listen to it below...

Follow me along my Toastmaster's Pathway...

      I get ideas, and I run with them. Many times, without doing the proper research before executing the vision. After battling depression over my HIV diagnosis, I decided to be a public HIV Advocate. What made me decide to do this? I told myself it was to assist young black women like myself not to feel alone or ashamed because we live with HIV. Once I came out to my family and friends with my status, they were very supportive.     One day my cousin sent me an event advertising an upcoming women's group, Toastmaster club. Before this, I had seen Toastmasters advertisements and video clips, but I was always scared to go. I have a very warm, friendly personality, but if I was put on a stage and the room was quiet, I FROZE UP. The people that know me are shaking their heads like not you, Kennedi. Yes, it's true. I knew that I needed to improve my general speaking skills if I wanted be a public advocate. I had a fabulous time, and that night I joined Toastmasters...

Disability Pride Month

Disability Pride Month is celebrated annually in July to honor people with disabilities and their contributions to society. As of 2024, at the tender age of 37, I am living with two chronic diseases. I'm grateful to God that I wake up each day. On my worst days, I wonder why me, Lord. Then I look back, remember what He’s already brought me through, and thank Him. Let’s all remember that not all disabilities look the same. One of my nieces saw my handicap sticker on my table and asked who was handicapped. I explained to her that not all disabilities are people in wheelchairs or visible to the naked eye. I battle with being an advocate for my new disability because I feel like I'm too young to be going through all I'm currently going through. Then, I must stop and remind myself that God still has me here for a reason. I pray that my presence helps someone else continue to fight and push through whatever they are going through. Remember, we are not alone. I'm grateful to m...
