Dope Silent Music Party

Enjoying my 1st silent music party

     I finally had the opportunity to attend a silent music party held at our favorite community gathering spot. What was so unique and different about this silent music party was that there were three different DJ’s playing three different genres of music in three different rooms. Each station was set by a different color (red, blue, and green) on our headphones. We had the option of listening to Reggae, R&B, or Rap. I’m a lover of all three genres so I kept constantly switching back and forth between all three stations.
     This event was sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) for International Condom Week 2020. Awesome event! Shoutout to Timothy Webb and his team. He mixed in speed dating in one of the rooms gathering participants from a certain station. Important HIV educational facts were mixed in with the R&B station which I thought was an awesome idea of educating the community.
     The bartender kept us litty. He had an array of mixed cocktails for us to choose from. I tried the Rum Punch first, but I had to go with the Hennessy punch in the end. It’s my go-to drink.
     The food was delicious as always thanks to the talented hands of Wysteria Catering by Chef Gene. The pasta melted on your tongue. Also, on the buffet were sliders with all the fixings, chicken wings, and a fruit tray. You can contact him at (470) 488-6771 to help cater to your event. P.S. He catered a Christmas brunch for our women’s group and I still dream about those shrimp and grits.
     It’s safe to say everyone enjoyed themselves from the young to the seasoned attendees. There was music for everyone’s taste. I look forward to more fun-filled awesome community events. Great job Tim and team. Thanks, AHF!
     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...

      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...
