NAN Youth's past and present members came out!
We decided to do a raffle; we gave away two baskets full of household supplies. NAN members also recruited new members, and I look forward to working with these young people. A huge thank you goes out to all my NAN members, NAN parents, and my family and friends for your never-ending support. A good support system is a blessing. I appreciate my blessings.

Congratulations to college NAN student Emily Emilien and her boyfriend Donovan Dewberry both graduated from Fort Valley State University today. Emily has been a part of my life since she was in the second grade, she’s my second daughter. I had the pleasure of meeting Donovan 2years ago and he has become my son. I’m so proud of these college graduates. Fort Valley gave us a little Sunday morning church during graduation but after the graduation they gave us “Stomp the yard”. It was a celebration
