On New Years Eve of 2023, the world lost a beautiful soul. My darling niece, Emily Williams, lost her battle and passed away surrounded by her immediate family. She brought so much joy to all who knew her and always wanted to help others. In her honour, her family have established a grassrootz fund-raiser to raise awareness for those struggling with their mental health.
Please consider a donation, no matter how small. There are many youths just like Emily who need your support.
Be at peace, my darling girl. ❤️

Fundraiser for children and girls.
Friends, lovely people:
This is my first personal post over Tumblr, but if you can spare a moment of your time to read this, know that nothing I could say here and now can adequately describe my gratitude. Your attention alone is appreciated, so firstly a simple thank you, and secondly:
In May 2020 I will have the exciting opportunity to be joining others in Vietnam, trekking through Sapa Valley with Plan International Australia. They are a global not-for-profit organisation close to my heart, devoted to seeing a world where all children everywhere can live happier, healthier lives. They empower girls around the world, endeavouring to obtain equal rights as well as equal opportunities in an otherwise imperfect world that we all share. There are many others partaking in this exciting adventure, and I need your help in being a part of something truly giving.
Sometimes we get too used to our comfortable standard of living and forget that the majority of people in the world have such basic needs still unmet. Deep-rooted and imposing barriers such as poverty, violence, displacement, exclusion, discrimination and inequality all too often stand in their way, and this is an especially harsh truth that goes unsaid in every corner of the world. And children and girls often suffer most. Plan International Australia work tirelessly to combat this.
Between now and May, I will be raising funds that will support the work of Plan International Australia, and then I will be travelling deep into the Vietnamese countryside to see firsthand an example of how these funds can benefit children and young people, and especially girls. I am responsible for raising a target amount of $3,250 on this incredible journey. That is $3,250 for an amazing cause. This is my personal appeal to anyone willing to help me in meeting that target. While any amount will help, it’s not just about donations. By sharing this, liking, commenting, tagging; you inspire change. You inspire me, among others, to make that step. It’s a remarkably simple act that can help create a better world for all.
I am asking for your support. There are links below you can follow, Facebook, Instagram. I will be sharing my journey with all inclined to follow, so that you too can see what your donations will have achieved. Any way you can help would be greatly, truly appreciated. You can head to the grassrootz link provided, and by making a donation of any number, you will be helping me and more importantly, Plan International Australia, in providing better resources for children of all diversities. On the page, you will be able to see what your impact can provide, but to reiterate; it’s not just about donations. Please share this and the link to my page to your friends and family so that they can have the chance to donate and share as well.
Thank you all for reading. Thank you for your patience and support but even more significantly than I can I manage to put into words, thank you for your generosity. Please like and share, spread the message. Click the below link to donate. ❤

We can do this. 1. Use the power of your dollars and support black-owned businesses in Arizona. You can support businesses through Archwood Exchange and others that promote and support local companies right here. 2. Move your money out of banks that have consistently red-lined black families from receiving home loans and have invested in private prisons and detention centers — all systems that have negatively impacted black communities across the country. 3. Read and educate yourself about Black history in the United States and read books written by black authors. Do so by purchasing books from local bookstores like Grassrootz Books and Juice Bar and Palabras Bilingual Bookstore. 4. Elect leaders that represent diverse communities and reach out to your elected officials and demand they fight for policies that help black communities including criminal justice reform, mandatory minimum sentencing, and divesting from large banks. 5. Finally, speak out and speak up. Have hard conversations with friends, family, and loved ones. It's on us. #LocalFirstAZ #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4QkiRnDUI/?igshid=8qq3tkiukzrw

Phoenix, AZ — The Valley’s premier monthly Black-business bazaar is now open every day. The popular Archwood Exchange has found a home inside Afri-Soul Marketplace, located downtown in the heart of the historic Eastlake community. The new store features fine art, foods, apparel and other wares by local African and African-American artisans and entrepreneurs such as Trap Coffee, Vintage Oats, Delicate Fox, Charm & Royalty, Sugar Bag Company and many more. “One-hundred years from Red Summer, when Black towns and businesses were burned down in over 30 cities across the U.S., we are working to rebuild what was taken from our people materially as well as spiritually,” said Exchange co-founder Ali Nervis. “We know that controlling our own businesses and institutions enables us to provide jobs, wealth and mobility to those in need.” Afri-Soul Marketplace is described as a home for community-minded business owners. The facility currently houses Archwood Exchange, and will soon launch Grassrootz Books & Juice Bar, RBG Tees, Small World Trade and a co-working space. After successfully attracting thousands to their monthly market, the Archwood Exchange team realized that Phoenix’s explosive growth has increased demand for culturally diverse products. They sought a location in the historically-Black Eastlake district, once home to the legendary Century Skyroom jazz club owned by revered civil rights leader and Tuskegee Airman Lincoln Ragsdale. The community is still home to 6-term city councilman and local hero Calvin Goode, among other leaders and luminaries. #blackandimproud #blackhistorymonth #melaninrich #blacklove #blackconsciousness #blackandproud #blackisbeautiful #blackunity #blackgirlmagic #staywoke #buyblack #blackexcellence #blackmensmiling #panafrican #blackhistory365 #supportblackbusiness #blackcouples #blackpantherparty #blackwomen #blackleople #blackhistory #blacklovematters #blackwealth #hbcugrad #hbcupride #hbcu #blackfamily #blackhistory #thehbcuapp #blackboyjoy #blackmanjoy https://www.instagram.com/p/BzYLpMRjdng/?igshid=12beer2qfc4ml
