60 years ago today, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges walked to school and showed how even first graders can be trailblazers! See how Ruby bravely walking into school, has directly led Kamala Harris to be the Vice-President Elect. This illustration is so profound! A reminder that we have so much further to go! #equality #allblacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #rubybridges #kamalaharris #blackgirlmagic #beardedqueensforabettertomorrow #nationalbeardedempress #inclusion #inclusionmatters #womentrailblazers https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlLUzuJDpG/?igshid=1h8aqexjtvr1g

@Regran_ed from @smarthiphop - Something positive to uplift and show appreciation to some of our queens who paved the way - especially given today’s ill political climate ... #HappyBirthdayMaxineWaters #HappyBirthdayCarolMoseleyBraun ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CONGRESSWOMEN by @smarthiphop Track: @MercBeatz (#BeatSuiteStudios) Producer: #DRoc (#DrunkProductz) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎥: @kenya.madeline From Lesson One: Hiphop & Education. Available everywhere. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lyrics: 1992 was the year of the woman, Doing a lot of things a lot of men thought they couldn’t. It was Maxine Waters and Barbara-Rose Collins and the delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton. Three black women elected to Congress. A lot of hatin’ going on, but nobody could stop this powerful black movement. There, I’m not finished - Carol Moseley Braun was elected to the Senate. The first black woman to do that. Inspiring a whole generation of the young women who lack role models. Now we have a better tomorrow. Plus, the list grew in the years that followed. There was Corrine Brown and Carrie Meek, Cynthia Ann McKinney, Sheila Jackson Lee, Eva Clayton, Eddie Bernice Johnson. Black women elected to the House of Congress! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hiphopeducation #womentrailblazers #politicalpioneers ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #maxinewaters #barbararosecollins #eleanorholmesnorton #carolmoseleybraun #corrinebrown #carriemeek #cynthiamckinney #sheilajacksonlee #evaclayton #eddiebernicejohnson @repmaxinewaters @queenmother_ghana @congresswomannorton @carol_moseley_braun @repjacksonlee @repebj - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bra2mYxD8KUdETw1YQUNVPg2oQF_02c-kVjTjw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qlnn7ypus5vf

What is Irlen Syndrome?

Irlen Syndrome (also referred to at times as Meares-Irlen Syndrome, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, and Visual Stress) is a perceptual processing disorder. It is not an optical problem. It is a problem with the brain’s ability to process visual information. This problem tends to run in families and is not currently identified by other standardized educational or medical tests.

HISTORY The Irlen Syndrome Foundation was originally founded in 1996 under the name, Learning Research Association. In 2014, the organization began referring to itself as the Irlen Syndrome Foundation to better reflect its primary goal of actively raising awareness of this disorder. ISF has a long history of providing financial assistance to low income individuals seeking support for Irlen screening and diagnostic services. The Southern California based organization supports research, outreach, and educational efforts around the world.

Colored Lenses, Colored Overlays, Training for your Brain

Welcome, Talk About a Trail Blazing Woman!

Helen L. Irlen, MA BCPC, PPS, BCPTSD, LMFT

Helen L. Irlen is an internationally recognized educator, researcher, therapist, scholar, a MASTER in the area of visual-perceptual problems. She graduated from Cornell University and, Ms. Irlen has been in the field of education for over 40 years! Her past includes 15 years as a School Psychologist, 30 years as a Child and Family Therapist, Educational Therapist, Founder, and Director of the Adult Learning Disabilities Program and Assistant Professor of Adult Learning Disabilities at California State University/Long Beach, instructor in psychology at Cornell University, and research assistant at Cornell. She is recognized for her dedication to working with children and adults and is listed in Who’s Who in California, Who’s Who in Asia and the Pacific Nations, International Woman of the Year (1999-2000), International Who’s Who of Professionals, Kingston’s National Registry of Who’s Who, and the Dictionary of International Biography. Over 20 years ago, a research study led by Helen Irlen under a federal research grant studied methods of helping children and adults with reading and learning disabilities. One important discovery was that a subgroup of individuals showed a marked improvement in their reading ability when colored acetate sheets covered their reading material. For the next five years, Ms. Irlen worked on cultivating her discovery, developing diagnostic testing instruments, and patenting a set of colored filters. Because of this breakthrough, the “Irlen Method,” has been the subject of two segments of “60 Minutes,”” Good Morning America,” “The Home Show,” ” 60 Minutes Australia,” a “BBC Special,” “ABC Worldwide News with Peter Jennings,” “NBC News,” “The Doctors Show,” and numerous TV shows around the world. She is the author of “Reading By The Colors,” “The Irlen Revolution: A Guide to Changing Your Perception and Your Life,” and “Sports Concussions and Getting Back in the Game … of Life.” Her work has been reported in textbooks on learning disabilities in Australia and England; and the Irlen Method has received international exposure through National Geographic, newspaper articles, magazine articles, and television documentaries. There are over 170 affiliated Irlen Clinics worldwide, and over 10,000 educators trained in the Irlen Method. Many school districts have included screening as part of the regular test battery offered.

Whew… Now she is one impressive woman!

I, personally, understand the overwhelming symptoms of the Irlen Syndrome…

In the 2nd-grade my parents and the school noticed I did not learn the same way as the other children. I was given a serious of tests and was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD, But hey this was the 80’s, and no one had a full understanding of what those meant. Primarily, in the outskirts of town, where I was raised! But my mother made sure to research and discovered, “Reading by Colors,” by Ms. Irlen and it changed everything! I highly recommend the color overlays and all of Ms. Irlen’s books. You will not regret it, whether it is for an adult or child, this is best method to help!

It was not an easy thing to deal with through my adolescence and the public education system, during that time. It was a bumpy road for not just me but my parents as well. As, an adult the sypmtoms started to show up again after years of working and schooling on Blue Screen devices! Thankfully, I knew what the symptoms were and that it had been so long, I went to an Irlen Syndrome clinic and had been requested, I can’t wait until I get my Color Lenses! I will write a new article after I have worn them for a while so you can get the first-hand experience.

Did you know Blue Screen devices are harmful to your eyes?

Even if you do not suffer from the above mentioned symptoms; you still need to protect your eyes!

Have a Fabulously, Poised Friday!

Yeah you know which note I'm talking about. The one that sounds like part angel part air, none however did it as effortless & natural as she. Not even close.

(Sunday’s First Honorable Mention!)

Hello Friends,

Real quick, just wanted to let you know that every Sunday I will have a new Poised Excellence “Honorable Mention!” Don’t miss out; we have quite the line-up!

Sunday- Funday- Passion

Please read more to get to know my very first and strongest role model for having, Poised Excellence!

The first journal, given to me by my mother.

Patti Derden- Loan Simple

  Quote by the gold sister

  My mother Patti Derden is the inspiration behind my method of Poised Excellence! She made sure that she passed these traits down to her kids, grand-kids, and children that she thinks of as her own. It may have taken time for it to sink in with me, however she has taught poised excellence by example since I was a child.

#teachstrength #strongwomen #inspiration #motivation

Throughout every trial and tribulation thrown her way, she stood tall and acted with strength and grace. She came to many crossroads within her life but each time she was knocked down. She rose above and fought her way to the top. She always tells me, “It’s not how hard you fall; but how you stand back up.

To Patti it does not matter whether she’s working, networking or just hanging with friends and family, she always puts her best foot forward and stands tall with poise!

This woman taught me what effective communication was and how to keep excellent client relations, as well as, the janitor and the CEO should be treated with the same respect. Her clients, as well as, work acquaintances love her and learn from her on a daily basis! I cannot wait to see if I am able to grow into the woman she is, as she has set the bar high.
