I’d do it all over again to help facilitate the Democratic process! We had to set up the precinct the night before. We were in meetings and webinars during the summer, classes in the fall, plus so much more—all to ensure fairness and a safe voting experience.

Lord,
Make me a channel (instrument) of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you
Make me a channel (instrument) of your peace
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there’s sadness ever joy
Oh, Divine Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel (instrument) of your peace
It isn’t in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we’re born to turn around unto you
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there’s sadness— ever joy!
We just wanted to make sure you know we’re truly in this together and that we’re here beyond the scope of our excellent Business, Marketing, Media, Professional Writing and Paralegal Services!

This entire year has been a roller coaster ride for sure for so many! My heart and prayers go out to anyone who has lost anyone up to this very day in our story (history). My heart and prayers equally go out to anyone in a financial crisis situation that they cannot seem to see their way through or out. These are truly trying times for us all in varying degrees. One thing I know for sure: God is real, His uncommon favor is real, His grace and mercies never cease, and if you believe, you are covered by the precious blood of Jesus.

My life is truly a living testimony of what I like to call #RelentlessResilience. Even as I write this, I face circumstances that truly require a child-like faith. We all do from time to time. This year has been exceptional in its share of valleys and challenges. Always remember, that it is in the darkness that we need to heal from the inside out through our inner dialogue with ourselves to become the light we need to make it out of the tunnel into our Breakthrough Success! Greater is coming. You must feel it before you see it in order to achieve it! Joy truly comes in the morning!


I choose to continue to pray, praise and consistently persevere through to the victory that is mine! Your victory is in your next step, your next effort, your next second of gratitude, and your next choice to believe that in spite of all that is going on in the world, you truly can do ALL things through Christ no matter what situations look like. Keep the faith. Keep your eyes on the promise and the prize! See it, feel it, say it and believe it so you can walk into your blessings that are waiting for you on the other side!




As you go through this month, make time to be easier on yourself. The world has enough demands on you than for you to add to it. Choose to make September a month to remember not just through achievements, but through the internal dialogue necessary to put peace, harmony, love, ease, beauty, and spiritual calm and rest first. My goal to keep not just my skin moisturized but to keep my Soul moisturized with love and light. What is your main September goal? Feel free to comment below! We would love to hear from you and yours!

My heart and prayers go out to Jacob Blake’s children and the countless other children and witnesses who are now traumatized for life. This country must atone for its millions or dare I say trillions of sins against the people who built this country on their backs through both free AND unjustly paid labor. 🔥
America needs a deep therapy session in order to even acknowledge the wrongs over generations. Proof of this is in the comments made last night during the Republican National Convention. Don’t just take my word for it. Please do your own research, read the news highlights and watch the news reels which reveal the huge and ever-growing rip in the very fabric of our society and nation.

CNN reported today that police shot Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, at close range Sunday evening as he tried to enter an SUV. In the vehicle were his 3-, 5- and 8-year-old sons, family attorney Ben Crump said.
Following the shooting, the injured man was flown to a hospital in Milwaukee. He remained in intensive care late Monday, his lawyer said.
“Thank God he’s alive,” Jacob Blake’s uncle, Justin Blake, told CNN. “We’re just praying for a great recovery, that he may have a great quality of life and that his father, my brother, can enjoy him.”
Only police reform will stop protests, Crump says
Enraged protesters poured onto the streets Sunday evening after video of the shooting circulated on social media. In it, two officers trail a step or two behind Blake as he walks around a gray SUV. As he reaches the driver door and opens it, the nearest officer grabs the tail of Blake’s tank top, and seven shots are heard, followed by a sustained sound of a car horn as Blake collapses into the car.

Per CNN, two Kenosha officers are on administrative leave. The local police union has urged the public to withhold judgment until a state investigation is complete.
Excerpts are from the article titled, “Kenosha becomes center of nationwide protests after police shoot Black man in front of his children”, by Eliott C. McLaughlin and Christina Maxouris, CNN

This is the way we must shift our perspective from what happened to what needs to happen in preparation for what’s to come.

The Original “Challenge Accepted” Inspiration that took off on Instagram and Spread Across Social Media Worldwide

🔥The original reason for the challenge: #Pinar and her Turkish sisters were victims of domestic violence. It could have been any of us. Almost 20 years ago, it was me. The difference: I lived to tell about it.
I spoke out against domestic violence at one of my first workshops at North Carolina A&T State University as a new Alpha Phi initiate and still became a victim years later. It can happen to anyone.
By the grace of God, I had Nia and continue to thrive today. I’ve been divorced from that situation and the person attached to it since 2005 and God blessed me 4 years ago with My amazing Omega Man whose heart was made to love me. He loves Nia as his own. I’m beyond grateful. ❤️
I’m grateful for peace, love, passion, joy and happiness. Is he perfect? No. Am I? No. Together we’re perfect in Christ and perfectly imperfect together by the Grace of God. I’m no longer afraid. I’m finally safe. We are each other’s lighthouse of love on safe harbors.
If you’re reading this and don’t feel safe, DM me so I can send you the national domestic violence hotline. I encourage everyone to offer the same at least once during their time on “The Gram”. Let us uplift, empower, inspire and encourage each other always.

Every woman deserves respect, love and security. #justiceforpinar

As a American who is called Black only because of a social construct called “race” that was created to oppress humans who have melanin in their skin, I come to you today to invite you to have a very timely #CourageousConversation. Many surely will see the videos and ask me, “Toy, have you always celebrated Juneteenth?” My answer is actually, “No”. Did I always know about Juenteenth? No, but I knew about it a lot sooner than many of my friends and family. I did teach my history students about it decades ago, but school was always out by the time it rolled around so I wasn’t able to truly incorporate it into any curricular instruction in terms of lesson planning. Still today, I’m not going to push it on anyone, but if you’re willing to learn more to understand why many of us are acknowledging it and why we feel a deeply-rooted moral and social responsibility to educate as many within our sphere of influence–this article is for you, my friend.

This article is my contribution to bring light to a holiday that has been going on for decades but just not acknowledged nationally by the very country that daily supports systems that ignore the value of our very lives and expect us to only partially thrive in it. Yet generation after generation, by the grace of God, we do that which was never originally intended for us and greater works!
“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
– Abraham Lincoln
“On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln gave a speech that would be quoted for centuries to come. But what do you really know about the Gettysburg Address? Check out some things you may not know about the iconic speech.
- Lincoln’s address starts with “Four score and seven years ago.” A score is equal to 20 years, so he was referencing 87 years ago — 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed. The speech was made, then, seven score and seven years ago.
- On the day of the speech, Lincoln’s oration was hardly the highlight of the occasion. Instead, the biggest speech belonged to Edward Everett, who spoke for two hours before Lincoln took the podium.
- Everett later wrote to Lincoln about his speech, saying, “I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.”
- We get our current text of the speech from the fifth of five written copies, all written in Lincoln’s handwriting. Each copy differs slightly, which probably stems from Lincoln’s self-editing.
- The Library of Congress has two copies of the address, the Illinois State Historical Library has one, Cornell University has one and one is in the Lincoln room in the White House.”
That was a very brief but important excerpt from an article by meganfriedman in Time Magazine written back on November 19, 2010. Let’s now put his words in proper context rather than just reciting them:
Although we do have a long way to go for systemic changes, we do now have the unique opportunity RIGHT NOW, to give birth through these severe labor pains happening world wide to deliver (birth) a new nation truly conceived in liberty (through the truth, which sets us all free), and dedicated to the proposition that ALL MEN and WOMEN (ALL HUMANS) are created equal.
The new civil war that we are in during this pandemic is a test and opportunity of a lifetime. It all begins and ends with each of us. Are you willing to learn the truth, accept it, face our nation and rebuild it from the infrastructure and systems outward?
The rest of the world is demanding the change along with us this time, but the question is : America — land of the “FREE” and home of the “BRAVE”– are you truly brave enough to let ALL HUMANS LIVE EQUALLY? It’s going to take more than giving us today as a national holiday. It’s going to take more than companies giving employees time off today. It’s going to take more than taking Aunt Jemima off the shelves. Rewrite the history books you have rewritten to give true accounts of who we are and our contributions to this world. Reconstruct legislation that was created to systemically oppress us. Get rid of the word “race” and replace it with human. Yes no more applications. Education for ALL. Access to ALL. God is moving fast. He is forcing your hand America. He has given you so many times to repent and step away from your wicked ways. The truth can no longer be hidden. The whole world knows and is watching this time. Time will once again reveal the nature of the heart of all leaders at all levels. History as we know it is a series of decisions. What side of history will you be on when the new books are written? America, justice is calling and will not stop until you answer.
“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Abraham Lincoln
May the only nation that rises out of this dispensation be a real one that is truly of ALL people, by ALL people and for ALL people — including humans with any shade of melanin in our skin. We have a great work that lies ahead. With God, all things are possible. I boldly declare that true Christians /(insert your religion if it differs here), truly want to see changes and will do their part to care enough to make it happen! May those born during this time have a greater story of a new America to tell their children for generations to come in perpetuity.
On that note: Happy Juneteenth and blessings to all! It is time for us all to grow from the discomfort which is where we are as a nation. Education is truly the pathway to freedom for everyone!
Origin

mid 16th century: from Latin educatio(n- ), from the verb educare (see educate).

A #CourageousConversation with my Beautiful Elle Esse Jennifer Nash @jeni1497 about her journey through and triumph over Stage 3 Breast Cancer! 💯💪🏾💞#breastcancersurvivor #talkingwithToy #toyparker #podcastersofinstagram #podcastersoftwitter #applepodcasts #spotifypodcast #growthmindset

🔥How are you feeling today? Everyone is finding different coping mechanisms during these uncertain times during the #Covid19 pandemic crisis. There are several constants we can focus on: Love isn’t cancelled, laughter is great for our souls, we get to choose how we respond to what’s happening in the world, and most importantly, God’s protection is real and He is in control!

🥰 How am I coping? Aside from LOTS of humor, wonderful and unconditional love and support from my significant other, assistance from my Mother and super awesome brothers, and an outpouring of support from family and friends virtually with the help of social media, I chose therapy for myself and my daughter alongside our faith as a way to help us stay grounded and remain in the growth zone during these times.
👩🏽💻We’re all realizing how important connection really matters and makes a huge difference in all of our lives. Equally so, I pray that everyone realizes how critical mental health is and plays a tremendous part in how we come out on the other side of this seemingly surreal and somewhat apocalyptic experience. I am happy you stopped scrolling social media long enough to read this important message encouraging the wellness of the human condition and what’s critical to our ability to thrive in spite of all that’s presented before us and constantly changing during these unprecedented circumstances and times.


🧐When you look at the assessment below, really take time to think about or even write about your feelings. Be honest with yourself. It’s okay. Don’t worry. There are no wrong answers. The key is to grow from wherever you find yourself and keep on growing. Life is so precious. It’s a journey and we all only get one trip! The key is to #IGNITEyourLife every single second and every single step of the way! 🔥 Aside from prayer, positive thinking, self care and encouragement, a mental health professional can help you navigate through these stages toward optimal growth and mental awareness. We are a reflection of what’s happening inside us! We must take great care of the inner man and woman inside of each of us.

We Still Want Justice Beyond Symbolic Gestures
by Toy Parker
We helped build this country and deserve the civil liberties and “justice for ALL” that this Republic promises to Americans. We are Americans. Stop systemically killing us. End systemic racism and rebuild this country to be a true land of opportunity and actual United States that we declare we are!🔥
This is NOT the true “American Way”.
While many important truths are coming out…🔥 Did you know? The history of systemic racism runs throughout the very fabric of this country. Unraveling it and reconstructing the fabric will truly take concerted action and efforts to achieve justice AND equality! 🔥
True awareness during this “New Enlightenment Era” starts with all of us. Together, we must rebuild this nation. We must correct the education system where it all begins and make the crooked places straight in our legal, banking and housing systems. These contain the heartbeat of institutionalized racism that plagued our nation. We’re now exposed as a nation, but the beauty is that we are able to make a more perfect Union!
