From the Founder
DELISHA SYLVESTER
With the state of events going on in
Baltimore, I urge everyone to pray
for this city. The social injustices
happening in Baltimore are not new.
We’ve seen this before in Ferguson,
New York, and many other cities
across the United States. It is important
that we remember that all lives
matter, but in this instance where
African American lives are dying at
an increased rate by the hands of law
official we must take a stand. So when
we say “Black Lives Matter,” we say
this to remind those that might have
forgotten. As we feel our way through
these tragedies it is also important to
remind ourselves and our children
to love themselves. Love yourself to
fight for your people. Love yourself
enough not to bring harm amongst
yourself. Love yourself to see beyond
your circumstance, and go after your
dreams. With this issue we hope that
message rings clear.
As always…Happy reading!
