Ahni and her Dancing Secret
9.95
Today my daughter decided to give back to our community and to an organization that means so much to our family. A lifetime ago, after I graduated from Berkeley, I worked at the Ronald McDonald House in San Francisco before I became a teacher. Since my daughter wanted to give away some of her books, we made a trip to the house in Orange County, where we live, to donate her bag of books. We gave them a bag of books and a bit of our time and they gave us an afternoon of smiles, grateful hearts, beautiful memories, and a zest to keep giving. Thank you to the staff for all you do for the amazing families you serve. We look forward to going back and visiting time and time again. #ProudMom #RMHFamily #GivingBack My latest article from @theparentvoicemag is out. Hope you all find it a good and engaging read. To read please find the link in bio. Thank you @hereweeread for sharing this with us. #TeachSelfLove #Repost @hereweeread with @get_repost ・・・ I grew up being embarrassed by my first name until I went to college. I used to despise the first day of school because it was inevitable the teacher and students would mispronounce my name. When I got to college I realized I should no longer be ashamed of my name, but be proud of it. Now I understand that I have a unique and beautiful name that is sometimes difficult to pronounce for some people. And that’s ok. I fully accept that. No longer do I feel “left out” when I don’t see my name engraved on items in a store like I did when I was a child. It makes me feel special to have such an original name that isn’t so common. ... I love the story of Barack Obama making the decision to tell his family he wanted to be addressed by his given name, Barack back in 1980. Up until that time, he was known early in life as Barry. It wasn’t until he was a student at Occidental College, that he decided to make a change and stand up to prejudice associated with his name. I personally can’t imagine calling him Barry Obama anyway. I think Barack Obama definitely suits him much better and it asserts a certain power and authority. ... #representationmatters #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock Sitting at my desk in my adopted country of America, signing a box of books to send to a school in my birth country of Belize. I have wanted to do this so much and a wonderful group of people are helping me to connect with a school that is accepting them. As a Central American immigrant who came to this country as a child, I am especially proud and pleased to do this today. I am sending these kids my love, respect, and words of encouragement within these pages. All my thanks Jennifer Davis. #ahniandherdancingsecret #ReadAndGlowBooks #FulfillingADream #NeverForgetYourRoots #diversebooksfordiversekids Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Daddies out there. In honor of Pride Month, let’s pay homage to this literary gem, #iamjazz by #jessicaherthel You came to this life to be just the way YOU were beautifully created and to be exactly who YOU are, so let your beauty bloom!! I spy with my little eye, #ahniandherdancingsecret Thanks for the love @thisisbooklove_ #ReadAndGlowBooks #ahniandherdancingsecret #representationmatters #FindingLoveInLondon 🇬🇧 “I believe in God, only I spell it NATURE.” -Frank LloydWright #LagunaBeach #WhenParadiseIsYourBackyard #Grateful Thank you to Keisha Montfleury of @abundantlyauthentic for sending my daughter her newly published book, #blueprinttoselfesteem. We read it tonight and it was a wonderful way to end the day. This guide tells girls how to take care of themselves from the inside out. From healthy eating and excercising to proper grooming, it gives a wonderful road map to developing positive self-esteem. A great gift for any young girl. “ I slowly started to realize that my purpose was bigger than just being a dancer. And I felt like what I stood for and my voice and what I represented was more than me. It was an opportunity for these little brown girls and boys to be able to look at me and see themselves and see a future for themselves in a space where they're not really celebrated. ...This is for them, everything I'm going through, it's to make it easier for them." -Misty Copeland Let’s change the world of ballet one dance and one book at a time. #representationmatters #WeNeedToSeeMoreBlackAndBrownBallerinas
