Volume 1 Issue 2

By: Morgan "DaVinci" Sims

         Welcome back readers.  I would like to say that it is my honor to highlight five Women in this issue who have chosen to share their inspiration and motivation with the world.  Each writer has taken the time to connect spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and / or professionally with their experience as a student and an educator. 

          The AAWE published here have shared a portion of their auto-biographies with you in hopes that it will inspire and motivate you.  Multiple voices that sound like your own.  I still believe silence is a key to uncertainty, avoidable struggle and failure.  When we speak of our struggles and our choices, we open ourselves to more possibilities.  We share our purpose to help others find familiarity. For me this is the gift we all received and should share as much and as often as we can.  Our her-story has value and a place. Let's celebrate it together.  Please take the time to read, comment and share the works of these ladies with others. 

         We will begin with the amazing journey of Mrs. Autry Kenney Richmond, born and raised in Mississippi.  We will connect to two young ladies, Ms. Chandra Boone from Tennessee and Ms. Sarah Thomas from Washington D.C.   We will read about their reflection and continuous motivation to challenge and motivate students, as well as, themselves.   We will celebrate the calling to education of a twenty year veteran from Texas. Finally, we will highlight the AAWE-ness; the journey, talent, and source for Los Angeles native, Ms. Janice M. Thomas.  

          Most importantly, I believe that a family that prays together stays together. That is why the final section of this collection is so critical.  The 90 day Devotional readings are compiled by Ms. Y. Denise Jenkins from Garland, Texas.  Even if you choose to follow your own devotional calendar, lift all educators, not just AAWE, up in your prayers.  May we always focus on great instruction to improve academic achievement and not get caught up in the things which distract us from our true purpose.

          If you know of an AAWE that should be recognized for her AAWE-ness or someone who will forever be an educator, email me, Morgan "DaVinci" Sims at morgansmathletes@outlook.com.

          If you would like to share why you will be "Forever an Educator" or the AAWE-ness in what you do to build up the educational system, email me, Morgan "DaVinci" Sims at morgansmathletes@outlook.com.

          My prayer is that we will hear from AAWE across the nation.  Share our stories.   It will take all of us for this vision to be realized.  Please copy the link to you social sites for all to share, read, like, comment and hopefully submit papers at morgansmathletes@outlook.com.
