L-ife-long Love
O-penness
V-ision
E-verlasting
LOVE knows NO skin color,
DNA kinship, cultural differences, religious preferences, or other unique traits--As can be attested
to by the diverse cultural makeup of our former foster young men of Aunt Hattie's Place (reared over 100 young men in 22 years).
They considered themselves "brothers" and have remained
close today as adults.
I was their "Aunt Hattie,"
and I remain AH today.

We have more in common
than we have differences.
We may want to observe the genuine and innocent LOVE
and friendship between children as they live, learn, laugh together, and love each other--reinforcing the Bible verse, "...and a little
child shall lead them."
(Isaiah 11:6 (KJV)
|
Life-Long LOVE:
"I have a dream that my
four little Children
will one day live
in a nation where
they will not
be judged by the
color of their skin,
but by the content of
their character.'
--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Women of Distinction, Dedication, & Determination
|
Join Foundation for Women Warriors on Today, Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022 at 9:30 pm EST (6:30 pm PT) for a special online screening of the Six Triple Eight documentary.
History Information:
In February 1945, the U.S. Army sent 855 black women from the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) to England and France to clear the backlog of mail in the European Theater of Operations.
The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight, was the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII. Confronted with racism and sexism from their own leadership and troops, they served with honor and distinction completing their mission in six months.
By war’s end, the Six Triple Eight had cleared over 17 million pieces of backlogged mail ensuring the troops stayed in touch with their loved ones back home.
The last of the women returned home in March 1946.
They were never fully recognized…until now.

My DRIVEN TO SUCCEED
Award-Winning Book,...

depicts life and lessons learned growing up in the segregated south and my school closing in 1959 for five years due to the massive resistance by
Prince Edward County,
VA school district to the
Brown v. Board of
Education landmark case.
My experience of racism and discrimination made
me stronger and more resilient to the obstacles encountered in life and the positive lessons learned from the ordeal.
I was self motivated to be DRIVEN2SUCCEED through Faith, Family, and Favor.
