GGD of VA 🤍

GGDofVA isn’t just a handle. It’s an homage to my great-grandmother Virginia, and everything she passed down to me, including the will to keep going.

Have you ever missed someone so much, that the weight of their absence just hangs in the air like a cloud? Maybe it's just me, about my him. 😔

@PatDhat Same. They're all starting to look the alike. What's bad is that I'll create something from scratch using my own content + Adobe Stock images, and if a single stock image/element is AI-generated it makes my whole project get labeled as AI.

I used Grok to animate one of my behind-the-scenes projects I created on Adobe Express for my home-based small business. The stickers changed a little, but it's still a cute little video clip. 📚🤍 #Literacy #YouthEmpowerment #YouthDevelopment #Free #Gifts

About 5 or 6 years ago I picked up this sky blue tie from a clearance rack at Marshall's, just in case my husband needed it later. I mean...for $2.00, I wasn't going to just leave it there. 🤷🏾‍♀️ It's finally coming in handy for singing in the Men's Choir at church tomorrow. ⛪️🤍

One of the eggs was cracked. Down the garbage disposal it goes. I'm kinda bummed. I've been eating just the whites of 3 hard boiled eggs with wheat toast for breakfast since my college days in Philly.🥚🤍 #HomeCooking #CleanEating

I just learned about this initiative and wanted to share it here.

The PWC Clothing Drive ends July 10. This is a wonderful opportunity to support neighbors stepping into interviews, new roles, and fresh starts.

If you have gently used professional clothing, this is a meaningful moment to give it forward.

Thank you to everyone who participated respectfully throughout this process, and to the Board of County Supervisors for listening to the community. We'll continue following these issues and sharing updates as they develop.

We're attending the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors meeting this afternoon. The hottest topic on the agenda is data centers. The only thing separating our home from the data center in Manassas is the railroad tracks. We appreciate the BOCS for listening to area residents. 🙌🏾

[GGD of VA 🤍 @GGDofVA]

Data centers remain an important part of Prince William County's economy, but where they are located matters. Thoughtful planning can help balance technology, jobs, infrastructure, neighborhoods, and quality of life.

My eldest female cousin is 65 years old today. This photo is from February of this year. It's quite evident that we've got some really great genes. My Bella is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. 😍🤍

I surprised my husband with his 1st batch of campaign stickers. I couldn't resist, since I designed his graphic + wordmark logo. He loves them!
