Happy Friday everyone. Many of our children have been in school for at least a week or more as of today. Make sure to set aside time for a "check in." Ask about their day, their week, and how they feel things are going overall. #NEWSCHOOLYEAR #mentalhealth #TCC

These are the moments our children cherish! The safety of her father’s embrace and his "shots" made this young lady brave enough to get her shots, too! As parents, let's be the role models our children need! 🎥: IG/tana_ann

“Women hold up more than half the sky,” Dr. Arunga. Women do not intend a world without a man.

Where does the Black woman fit in the future?
“The woman is paramount to all and masculine upholds the woman.” They can’t be separated. Dr. Nobels.
