JEROME JOHNSON - COMMUNITY SOLAR ENERGY DEMONSTRATION HOUSE

Update: Elder Jerome Johnson has passed away. We are taken aback with sadness. There was no support for his plight in continuing to do community work. He was very angry going thru the ageing process, and his dream of building community was deferred, and ignored. It is so sad how so many elders are treated. Especially, elders like Mr. Johnson who gave so much. His wish was to have the solar house made into a museum.  Jerome Johnson! J erome Johnson is 86 years of age.

So we decided to do the same for Palestine. The legendary news mainstream does not educate us in ways other than with their agenda as to how we should think.   I wanted to create an article to show what existed in Palestine before the bombing.  We have to take it upon o...

Michaela DePrince.

I am still finding it difficult to wrap my mind around the loss of Michaela DePrince at 29 years old. A game changer in the Ballet world from Sierra Leone, Harlem to the world.  This morning my take was through her life, a lesson. The lesson whatever you are doing, learning, practicing 'to make it your own' whether you are young or old. Be positive in your pursuit or pursuits.
