Back to School: Ready to Learn, Grow and Thrive
Back to School: Ready to Learn, Grow and Thrive There is something special about the beginning of a new school year. It is nice seeing all the kids excited, looking fly, feeling confident and ready to thrive. When I was young, I always loved going back to school. I never wanted summer to end, but I looked forward to seeing everybody again, playing sports and making new memories. Now, it is amazing watching my own children and other students experience those same emotions. To

My 3 boys out here putting in work on the football field. 🏈💙 And yes, Angelo is officially playing football for the first time. I know many of you may be surprised or even question why he’s out there, especially knowing what he has been through. Angelo had brain surgery and was diagnosed with seizures and ADHD, so of course I had concerns about him playing football. But before anybody starts tripping on me 😂, this was HIS decision. He was persistent, kept asking, and even

TONIGHT IN BROOKLYN, NY! 🗽🔥🤟🏾 Tonight is a special one for me and my family as we celebrate the Sign Language Center’s 25th Anniversary Gala! My history with SLC goes back years.

Trenton Has Deaf Residents Too — So Where Is the Plan for Us? Untitled
