WELCOME TO WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH!

Family:

Fresh from celebrating "Hope for Haiti" and saying goodbye to Black History Month, I am ready for Women's History Month! This month is especially important to me because apart from being a mother, sister, aunt, daughter, spouse, sistah, and friend, I consider myself blessed to have positive female role models in my life.

The positive influences in my life include women I interact with, women I want to meet, and women who passed long before I was even a thought. I am very thrilled that in my family, the values and principles passed down by the women are so strong and positive that they have shaped me into a better woman and human being. Big ups to my late Granny, Nola Swaby and my mother Cecilyn Mendez Parke. This month, I will be featuring some amazing women who are doing great work in the community and leading by example. I hope you will stick with me all of March to learn about them and the great work they are doing in various communities. BTW - if you know of an exceptional woman you think our readers should also know about, send me an email so we can make it happen.

Our prayers go out to Chile as they deal with the 8.8-magnitude earthquake they experienced on February 27. Even though "Chile's quake was 500 times stronger than the 7.0 that killed an estimated 200,000 Haitians last month," Chile was better prepared and the death toll is in the hundreds. Naturally, Haiti is still in the forefront of MY mind.

On behalf of Movementunes.com, thanks for your support, donations and encouragement during our "Hope for Haiti" project. Those of you who came out to Club LIV last Thursday witnessed a magnificent Black History program and are appreciated for your time and donations. Many of you watched the event via MMTIDC or gave donations even though you could not attend the event, so we thank you for interest in our event and Haiti. Because of you, the sponsors, performers, logistics team, attendees, and the excellent work of the organizations we donated to, we raised $1645! Blacks helping Blacks is one of the coolest things on the planet so again THANKS! Click HERE to see the photos taken by one of our photographers, Zama Cook.
