Hello everyone! I am very excited to connect with you this week. I have been pretty sick lately, with an upper respiratory infection and pneumonia, but I am doing much better today— hopefully I won’t have to be hospitalized. I feel blessed that I am here and ready to party soon. In the meantime, you do that for me.
As you can see from my headline this week, it’s all about Tessa Hill-Aston. The NAACP’s Baltimore City Branch is hosting the Annual 108th NAACP Convention from July 22-26, 2017. I think it’s pretty exciting for Baltimore. It will be held at the Convention Center. There will be job fairs, over 350 exhibitors, 1,500 commerce and industry show guests; popular and nationally known authors will be featured in the authors pavilion; presentations and book signings. Also they are having a prayer breakfast, women in the NAACP empowerment luncheon, a presidents council luncheon, and so much more.
