Last week, I was appointed to the board of the @hetrickmartin Institute (HMI).

HMI, which is a nonprofit organization based in NYC, has been serving the LGBTQIA+ youth community for over 40 years. HMI offers free individual and group counseling programs in a variety of areas including basic needs, mental health, academic enrichment, and workforce development. Each year, they help over 2000 LGTQIA+ youth around the country to find their chosen family and feel the sense of belonging and affirmation that comes with being part of the community.

I am honored and proud to be joining this amazing organization alongside fellow board members Tyrone Fripp @bossaboy, Kendrell Bowman @iamkendrell, and Elisa Crespo I am excited for all the ways that my team and I @themixxnyc @tiworldwide, can help impact LGBTQIA+ youth in NYC and across the country.

Shout out to IG LIVE WOW TALK presented by @wowcoachv: my dear sister friend #ValloriThomas who led us in a talk she coined: “Authoring The Narratives of Our Lives” - a nod to my part-memoir/part-entertainment-diary "That's What Friends Are For: On The Women Who Inspired Me" - available via Amazon, B&N, or try a Black-Woman-owned book-seller. Shout out to our @momentumeducation FAM! Now, what are you folks doing at 6p/EST THIS AFTERNOON? If you can click on FACEBOOK LIVE via https://www.facebook.com/literaryawardshow, I'll be interviewing the African American Literary Awards Show's #PRIDE2021 AUTHORS CORNER author David Jackson Ambrose: @davidjrhd. We'll talk about his journey as a writer plus his second novel, "A Blind Eye" which - just turning the first few pages - assures me it's a "HOT VACCINATED" SUMMER READ for EVERYBODY! 😎🍾🥂🏖David has written:"... a wonderfully layered novel interweaving stories of relationships from perspectives seldomly heard-- the differently abled, "transracial," LGBT domestic abuse survivor...."🌈 PLEASE JOIN US!

Going wayyyyy back with our newest showcase song, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) ” by the legendary Sylvester on the Parminy Place (V1) playlist on @Spotify (Click URL in Bio) This track is from his 1978 (yes children.. 1 9 7 8) album STEP II. To learn more about his life and historic contributions to the LGBT and music communities, I strongly suggest @mightyrealsylvester the musical co created by Anthony Wayne (@mrawayne) and Kendrell Bowman (@IamKendrell).
