When Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, of Friendship-West Baptist Church, announced 100 Days of Buying Black in acknowledging the 100th Commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, a year ago, we joined the movement. December 31, 2021, marked 100 days of featuring Black Businesses, and we decided that the struggle continues and we must also. So enjoy reading about more Black-owned businesses and please support. We're still going strong today and we received recognition from the National Newspaper Publishers Association for our efforts!

MY TRUTH:
Yes, I am saying it again!
This is another remix but I needed to look back in order to move forward.
Everyone can’t vote. Which brings me to
my truth!
Just because you don’t have a voter registration card does not mean you can’t work campaigns and the polls, or partic- ipate in voter education programs. You can also donate money!

DAILY REMEMBRANCE:
Not able to really grasp on to life without you, I HOLD on to memories.
They flash before me and bring a smile to a broken heart.
I find them everywhere. When I close my eyes, they are there.
When I open a drawer, something that you once held holds me.
It holds my mind open when I want to close up and vanish.
It holds my heart together even though it is broken. I'm deafened by sadness
and yet, the sound of memories awaken me.
I'm sad, but memories make me happy.
I'm lost, but through memories, I'm finding both of us again.
