Sending a HUGE SALUTE to all Father's on today!
Continue to lead the way for your children from a posture of true manhood which includes the following principles: RESPONSIBILITY, LEADERSHIP, SACRIFICE, INTEGRITY, EMPATHY, PATIENCE, and RESILIENCE!

Manhood, as it relates to fatherhood, encompasses the qualities and responsibilities that define a man's role in the life of his children and family.

RESPONSIBILITY:
Taking on the duties of providing for, protecting, and nurturing one’s children and family.
Thbeing accountable for their well-being and development.

LEADERSHIP: Guiding and setting a positive example for children. This involves teaching values, morals, and life skills.Support: Offering emotional, physical, and financial support. Being present and engaged in children’s lives, showing love and affection.

SACRIFICE: Putting the needs of the children and family above personal desires or ambitions. This might mean making tough decisions for the betterment of the family.

INTEGRITY: Demonstrating honesty, strong moral principles, and consistency in actions and decisions. Children look up to their fathers, and integrity helps build trust and respect.

EMPATHY: Understanding and being sensitive to the feelings and experiences of others, especially one’s children. This fosters a supportive and nurturing environment.

PATIENCE: Exhibiting patience in raising children, understanding that growth and development take time and effort.

RESILIENCE:
Showing strength and determination in facing challenges and adversity. This teaches children about perseverance and coping strategies.

Manhood in the context of fatherhood is about embodying the virtues that create a stable, loving, and supportive environment for children to grow and thrive.

Father's keep up the good work!

Everyone:

Today, as we mark International Women's Day 2024, I am filled with a profound sense of respect and gratitude for the incredible women who have shaped my life and for the tireless efforts of women around the globe in forging a fairer, more inclusive world.

In my own family, the women—my mother, grandmother, aunts, and cousins—have been the cornerstone of my strength, resilience, and inspiration.
They have taught me the true value of compassion, hard work, and dedication.
They exemplify the spirit of grace under pressure, juggling multiple roles with unparalleled grace, and nurturing the next generation with values of equality and empathy.
It is their unwavering support and belief in me that has enabled me to serve our community with dedication and purpose.

But today is not only about celebrating the women in my life. It's a day to honor every woman, in every corner of the world.
From the homemakers to the pioneers in science, technology, education, and politics, women have been at the forefront of advancements that have shaped our modern society.
Their contributions, often made in the face of systemic barriers and discrimination, remind us of the strength and perseverance inherent in fighting for gender equality.

As we celebrate International Women's Day, let us recommit ourselves to the ongoing struggle for gender equality.
Let's work towards dismantling the barriers that prevent women from achieving their full potential. This includes advocating for equal economic opportunities, reproductive rights, and participation in political processes.

To all the women out there, know that your efforts, sacrifices, and achievements are seen and immensely valued!

You are the architects of change, the bearers of wisdom, and the guardians of the future.
Today, we celebrate you and the indelible mark you have made on the world.

I will continue to support the vision to build a world where gender equality is not just an ideal, but a reality.

Happy International Women's Day 2024!
Let's celebrate the progress made while pushing forward for the equality and recognition all women deserve.

Everyone

So proud of my childhood friend, MHS Class of 1992 Classmate, and best artist I know, Mr Yashmal Yah Shaka Amun-Ra (Ryan Cureton) for displaying his amazing work, The Ryan Cureton Exhibition -- CONTINUUM: FROM ANCIENT TO URBAN at the Dowd Center Theatre in Downtown Monroe.

Due to my being away on business, I could only be present with you in spirit.
I was smiling ear to ear from afar, celebrating this great occasion of your hanging your transformational art in a space where people like you and I weren't always welcomed!

Super proud of you brutha!

And I can't wait to see each stroke of brilliance displayed in the Center Theatre in Downtown Monroe!
Keep knocking down walls, breaking ceilings and leading the way down paths that no one thought we could!

Love you, bro.
CM Franco McGee

HAPPY KWANZAA!
Celebrated December 26th - January 1st

Day 3: December 28th
UJIMA : Collective Work and Responsibility

To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems and to solve them together.

Ujima, as principle and practice, also means that we accept the fact that we are collectively responsible for our failures and setbacks as well as our victories and achievements.
And this holds true not only on the national level, but also on the level of family and organization or smaller units.
Such a commitment implies and encourages a vigorous capacity for self-criticism and self-correction which is indispensable to our strength, defense and development as a people.
