Grandma always said, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” ❤️She’s the heart behind every children’s book I write. My newest story, "Poodessa & Duke Make Table Manners Great Again," was inspired by her gentle wisdom at the dinner table. If you have little ones at home, I’d be so happy if you checked it out. Families have already told me the kids are actually excited to set the table after reading it! Tue story. https://t.co/S1zsa5AZNu Thank you for supporting a small indie author with big dreams. #kidlit #childrensbooks #picturebooks

This one didn’t start as a book…It was a series of essays written to convince New Yorkers to ratify the Constitution. The authors: Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.

Well done, Mike!

A number of people have asked me if the attached video is AI. It is not. That’s really me, fifteen years ago, testifying before Congress about the need for some kind of national effort to reinvigorate the skilled trades (The suit is also real, but alas, no longer fits the way it used to). Since the original video of that testimony has resurfaced and is currently making the rounds, I thought I’d use some of it to shamelessly plug https://t.co/IhaBSMIY6b

As you may know, The Pentagon and mikeroweWORKS have partnered around a simple initiative to highlight a few hundred thousand AI-proof, six-figure jobs currently open in the defense industrial base. The campaign is called Build Freedom, because that’s exactly what it does, and we’re expanding every month. We’re currently in six states and hope to be in twelve by early next year. And half the country soon thereafter.

The jobs at https://t.co/UnEdFDZ8M4 are truly essential, and in desperate need of being filled. They do not require a four-year degree, but they do require training, and I’m happy to tell you that mikeroweWORKS has received a check from Build Freedom for $10 million, which we’ve set aside to pay for the training you’ll need to land one of these essential jobs. I’m even happier to report that the check, (like me,) is not AI, and that the money is very real, and waiting to be claimed, at: https://t.co/CSGu1RA4wd

To review, find an AI-proof, six-figure job at:

Grandmas are special like that! ~Poodessa

[King Randall, I. @NewEmergingKing]

Stop waiting for the building.

Years ago, I had 40 boys coming for an overnight summer camp and lost the space we were supposed to use. The hotel plan didn’t work either.

My grandmother said, “Bring them here.”

So we did. Forty boys stayed at my grandmother’s house that summer.

And you know what? Their parents didn’t care that we didn’t have some beautiful facility. They trusted me with their sons because they knew my heart was in the right place and knew those boys were going to be poured into.

Sometimes your heart has to speak for you before your resources can.

Some of y’all have been sitting on a vision waiting for the building, the funding, the staff, and the perfect circumstances.

Meanwhile, somebody needs what you have right now.

Start where you are. Start with what you have.
The building can come later. The work can start now.

Good for you King Randall @NewEmergingKing. Bravo and yes, all kids need guidance. Great job!

[King Randall, I. @NewEmergingKing]

Some of y’all are really upset because I have WHITE children in my program. It’s been constant in my DMs etc.

And I’m not apologizing for helping a child.

You can debate race, privilege and politics all day. I’m dealing with actual children standing in front of me who need guidance, structure, skills and people who care about them.

When they walk through my doors, they’re MY boys.

They’re going to learn. They’re going to be challenged. They’re going to be corrected. And they’re going to be loved.

I’ve had to grow and challenge some of my own prejudices over the years too.

But one thing I know now: a child’s skin color will NEVER be my reason for refusing to pour into him.

[Kelly Garrett @PoodessaDuke]

The smell of rain has a name.
Petrichor.

Plant oils plus soil bacteria released by raindrops.
That beautiful earthy scent.

OMG such lovely boys. I can’t take
my eyes off this sweet big brother.
This little boy was so happy
with the stuffed dog;
but he could no longer contain his joy
when he finally met the real thing…
The little man finally got his wish… ♥️🐾
