Essence of Integrity

As the sun rose on this fresh day, I found myself awakening with a renewed sense of purpose, eager to delve into my research while immersing myself in the soothing sounds of the natural world around me. For more than three decades, I have nurtured a deep appreciation for nature, recognizing its profound influence on both my personal and professional life. This connection to the environment not only inspires my work but also reinforces my commitment to integrity in all my professional interactions.

Throughout my extensive career, I have consistently prioritized honesty and transparency in my relationships with my former colleagues and clients. Upholding a strong ethical framework is paramount to me, and I strive to ensure that my professional services reflect these values. By adhering to my principles, I create an atmosphere of trust and respect, which I believe is essential for fostering productive collaborations and achieving meaningful outcomes.

My dedication to maintaining ethical standards is unwavering, and I take pride in the fact that my work is a true reflection of my beliefs. As I engage in my research today, I am reminded of the importance of aligning my actions with my values, ensuring that every decision I make is rooted in a commitment to authenticity. This approach not only enhances the quality of my work but also reinforces my long-standing relationship with nature, which continues to be a source of inspiration and motivation in my professional journey.

History of Malcolm X Park in Washington, DC

  According to my research, “Malcolm X Park, located in Washington, D.C., is a significant public space that carries a rich historical narrative intertwined with the civil rights movement and the African American experience. Originally known as Meridian Hill Park, this area was established in the late 19th century and was designed in the Beaux-Arts style, featuring cascading fountains, statues, and expansive green spaces. Over the years, the park has served as a gathering place for various community events, protests, and cultural celebrations, reflecting the evolving social dynamics of the neighborhood and the broader struggles for racial equality in the United States. In the 1960s, the park became a focal point for civil rights activism, particularly among African American communities. It was during this time that the park was informally renamed Malcolm X Park, in honor of the influential civil rights leader Malcolm X, who advocated for black empowerment and social justice. The pa...

My College Experiences

My college experiences were diverse. I had the opportunity to exhibit my artwork in New York City in 1993 at  The New Harlem Gallery (New York City, New York) and Wisteria ArtSpace (New York City, New York). I was 16 years old at that time. Additionally, I participated in the Congressional Art Competition in 1993.   I was exposed to a diverse set of people with different backgrounds and sexual orientations from 1993 - 1997. I had the opportunity to met Ms. Lois Jones when I was a college student and exhibit my artwork in several exhibitions from 1996 - 1997. Among them include:  "Evolution of Historical Symbolisms." Corcoran Gallery of the Art, Hemicycle, Washington, DC. 1997; and  "All Senior Summer Show." Corcoran School of the Art, White Walls Gallery, Washington, DC. 1997-1996. Each of these experiences allowed me to produce a different set of artwork and develop a wide range of skills.

DC Black School Leaders

“Nearly 70% of DC principals are black. A majority of those leaders are black women. Over the next few weeks, months, and even years, there will be much questioning about the capabilities and values of a Black and Indian woman on an international stage. This will inevitably be challenging for many people, particularly black women, who are disproportionately subjected to such critique and skepticism. Black women have a vital role in education and, as demonstrated time and again, in our political landscape. If our students are going to experience the consistency, justice and academic experience we know they deserve, taking care of ourselves is not a luxury—it's imperative.”   NationHouse Anniversary 1980s   I gave away this outfit many years ago.
