Today after spending the morning with more organizing activities, I then spent the afternoon with the fabulous Loretta Ross, WOCU member and Executive Director of Sister Song. Loretta shared her usual infusion of knowledge and wisdom which always leaves me stimulated, enhanced and mildly disturbed that I’m not doing enough! Additionally, in this sitting Loretta truly became an invaluable partner in the 41 Million Strong Campaign as she took 2 hours to go through each of our whistle stops with me, state by state, and recommended sisters with whom we can connect in each locale. This is surely the power of the collective sister circle. Thank you, Sis!

Afterwards, I drove to Huntsville, Alabama where, I have several events lined up, thanks to the impromptu stewardship of my pending visit by a dear friend, colleague, and WOCU member, Tonya Perry, Social Work Professor at Alabama A&M University.

During that westward drive I experienced another phenomenal accomplishment of the day. After extensive and copious inquiring and cajoling, a bright star came to the fore in the form of WOCU Member Alecia McGregor of Metro Teen AIDS who, on just a few days’ notice, has valiantly agreed to take the lead on the road tour next week while I’m in Guatemala! Not only that, but she has also identified Torkwase, a culture worker from Philadelphia who has also agreed to be on board. Together they will visit Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Fantastic! Thank you, Sisters!

Between the connections in Alabama, the Sisters Song bounty, and the commitment from roadsters Alecia and Torkwase, this has been a stellar day!
