love seeing the wisdom of former students out there... Austin Harrison "Memphians should resolve to do what they can to push our local leaders to make Memphis a city that chooses people first. This means holding out-of-town slumlords accountable to ensure they are providing livable and sanitary conditions, especially those slumlords using local, state, or federal housing subsidies. This means reorienting our economic development strategies to foreground Black neighborhoods and other working class communities in order to close our racial wealth gap. This means expanding our existing public Pre-K program to include all families. This means reimagining the way our city views local law enforcement and (most importantly) the way local law enforcement view us. This means so much more, but most importantly, this means all of us getting more engaged politically at the “local-est” of levels. We must ALL resolve to hold our leaders accountable if we want to see this city choose people first.”
Three great minds sharing their hope for Memphis in 2024!

"social " media with a pen and a camera + commUNITY bridge building 🫶 🌉 Book a shoot to start building your media archive. <3 Video + Photo + Editing + Words.
Walking through life with our armor on...all of us do from such an early age. Imagine society...our neighborhoods, schools, public spaces, libraries, gardens, creeks and roadways... All designed with the intention of make life more peaceful, vibrations of inspiration allowing us all to live a life without the armor...without the fear songs and the beating and clanking that comes along. Designing again for solutions and not solely for market competition? Imagine a World...where we design solutions as community coalitions...initiated and executed together...not asking for permission from the top down systems. Can we drop the rules of competition and start connecting our bridges together? I believe we can. In my second week of the Cabin co-hort, the mentors are inspiring and the fellow stewards also move with faith that we can. <3 Check out https://cabin.city To building new communities, one neighborhood at a time. <3

🌟Journey of Courage and Truth: My Story of Resilience🌟 At 44, I've found the courage to share a story I've hidden for decades. As one of the twelve girls at the Coke County Juvenile Justice Center in the '90s, my journey has been one of pain, silence, and eventual empowerment. This story isn't just mine. It's about Sara Lowe and many others who suffered in silence. Lured by promises of rehabilitation at Wackenhut's facility, we faced a reality far from what was pledged. Abuse, neglect, and a system that turned a blind eye - this was our truth. I was silenced once with money at 19, but the temporary glamour of wealth quickly faded, leaving me to confront the deeper scars of my experience. The loss of my best friend, who named my daughter, to suicide on the day of our lawsuit victory, was a turning point. It underscored a harsh reality: our fight was never about money; it was about justice and acknowledgment. Today, I stand to tell our story, not just for me but for Sara, who tragically couldn't bear the weight of her unacknowledged pain. It's a reminder that behind every corporate facade, there are human lives at stake. And while those responsible may not have faced consequences, our voices can now be heard. This post is more than a narrative of past woes; it's a call for accountability, change, and the protection of the innocent. Let's ensure no other child endures what we did. So when people think I’m absolutely bananas for saying I want to build a $200 million dollar theme park in Texas question my leverage, here you go. 💅🏼 I don’t think anybody wants me to make a big fuss about this, and I’m not trying to. I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna have any problems getting it done. 🤠 https://lnkd.in/gSd9e_Gi https://lnkd.in/gWFsrNkF #JusticeForSara #SurvivorStory #SpeakUp #Accountability #TexasYouthCommission #Wackenhut #Texas #juvenilejustice #TYC

Fast Approaching - Legal Essentials for Caring for your Aging Parents. A Chance to learn more and have the dialogues before you need them. Check your calendar Monday November 13th at 6:00 pm. The goal is to be prepared with not only documents but knowledge to be able to easily step in when you are needed. This year I have had many families that either had Trusts that needed updated and reviewed or did not have any documents at all. This caused more work at a quicker pace to allow the family to step in help their parent. If family dynamics are an issue, which is also happening more and more, this should be discussed and addressed in planning. The goal is to center on the parents in need and be able to quickly assess their options. Please tell others that might want to learn more and to see Maplewood Long Term Care in Twinsburg. It helps to have looked at options and have your questions answered before having to need to use them. Maplewood is respectful and engages their residents. I hope we will see you next Monday at 6 pm. #estateplanning #forwardthinking #proactiveapproach
Just a Reminder that this event is taking place next Monday Evening, November 13th at our Maplewood at Twinsburg community. If you have someone in mind that could benefit from this event, please share this. #maplewoodseniorliving #legaleducation #eldercare #eldercareservices Denise Oleksy Watroba Susan Krupitzer LNHA, CECC, NP, CEAL Georgia Maistros

Did you know there are 60 local NWTF chapters, in Tennessee? 61 if you include the state chapter, according to NWTF.org. There are 95 counties in Tennessee. What's that mean? There are opportunities to grow conservation efforts statewide! How? By getting involved and creating a new chapter in areas that don't have one. We have some awesome Regional Directors working in Tennessee that can help! The link is to the Chapter Guide manual and has solid information on how to get started. https://lnkd.in/d_sGbv4M
