“Rock wit me, Roll wit me”💃🏽💃🏽 Zaila Avant-Garde the National Spelling Bee 🐝 champ being celebrated NOLA style! So many people from across the state came out to honor the teen and her many achievements! Hear from Avant-Garde herself on how today feels at 5P and 10p on @wdsu .❤️
Just received my hardcover copy of “Across the River,” the awesome new book by @KentBabb about @KarrFootball. I’m about six chapters into the galley copy and I can’t put it down. Powerful story-telling. A must-read for New Orleanians — and not just sports fans.
Zaila Avant-garde, from Harvey, just became this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee champion, the first champion from Louisiana 🎊
This was her winning word ⤵ https://t.co/Ak8J69nGuf

Still. Trending. On @CNBC@SquawkCNBC. 😳😉
We are — or should be — all in this together. ‘You can take no pleasure in the fact, that there is a hole in my end, of OUR boat.’ If the boat sinks, we all drown. Together. We can also, RISE together.
Dr. Michael C. Francis said he’s seen racial bias when his patients navigate end-of-life decisions. “They assume that Black folks don’t know anything, and that if the doctors do something they don’t agree with, they’re not going to do anything about it.” https://t.co/zcwuclZsvQ
Until you follow your dream and connect it to your gift you'll never be happy. You have to chase your dream before you die... You should go live your dream, just go see. God put your real life in your imagination, your real-life ain't in your present circumstance.
