  Professional Development/Travel
  

  Sharing the experience-My travels, workshops and seminars are a continuing personal and professional development.  As I learn more about  the history, culture and people, I  share the information and experience with my students.  I have traveled to Japan, China, Germany, the Caribbean and Canada.  While in the countries, I visited schools, talked with teachers and have had homestays. Workshops and seminars have taken me to the to the east coast and west coast studying Japanese history, the Harlem Renaissance, Latin American history and Chicago’s history and communities.
                                                
  

    My Family/Friends

  • What can you say about family? My family is loving, supportive, special and always there.During the last few months we have needed each other more than we thought we would.  In January 2002, I lost my husband and had surgery, they were there. This past January, a fire destroyed the family home, I was there.  Most of my family will be living with me until  the building in restored. My nieces, brother, sister , and mother have bonded, all has brought us closer. I have two new additions to my family, Coffee and Creme.  We have been a family for a year.

Friends

I have many acquaintances, people that are in the many organizations, but close friends I have had since we were children.  Our mothers were friends. We would meet at church, were in Jack and Jill together, worked side by side as our mothers raised  funds for the Southside Art Center, NAACP and Harris YWCA.  We have had a life together.  Although two have moved away we still talk weekly and see each other every year.  The others are my bridge mates, shopping partners, shoulder holders. We listen to each other and assist each other .  We are friends!!!!!
