In my book, , I share the story of a young Stacey Abrams and her experience almost being denied an opportunity she worked so hard to earn.

Now many of you know her as a voting rights activist, politician, and author. But back in 1991, Stacey was the valedictorian of her high school class and was invited to join other valedictorians from around Georgia for an afternoon reception at the governor’s mansion in Atlanta to celebrate their success as students. When she arrived with her parents, Abrams says she walked partway up the driveway and was stopped by a security guard, who took one look at them and said, “This is a private event. You don't belong here.”

The message was familiar: I don’t see you as being entitled to what you have. Thankfully, Stacey Abrams’ parents would have none of that nonsense. Her mother, she recalls, gripped her arm to stop her from turning and running back to the bus. Her father started arguing with the guard. They did eventually make it into the reception—after the man found Stacey's name at the very top of the alphabetized guest list.

I share this story as a reminder for us to look at the way our words and actions impact others. Lucky for us, Stacey continued to persist in the years that followed—breaking barriers, opening doors for others along the way, and inspiring many who hope to follow in her footsteps.

We’re so lucky you never gave up, Stacey!

Southwest Glen Mission #itsallaboutthechildren

Southwest Glen Mission (SGM), an Apartment Mission is a 501(C) 3 Non-Profit Organization, providing homework assistance and tutoring for Inner-city youth at multi-housing complexes. Many of these youths are 5 to 18 years old and are at-risk minority children living in single parent homes. Education programs, counseling and referral services are available to these youths and their parents. Through our program we provide Homework/Educational assistance, Literacy, Children’s Reading Library, WAM (“What About Me”-health and wellness for adolescents), Nutritious snacks, and “STEM” Program. Alongside volunteers and our board of directors, Southwest Glen Mission has been able to help change the lives of under-served children where they live. With the aid from our supporters the organization reaches an estimated 2,000 children annually. The purpose of this mission is to encourage children and their families, to engage with each other educationally, socially, and through spiritual participation. Southwest Glen Mission is an all-inclusive mission. As a result of Southwest Glen Mission involvement on site, the program participant’s grades have improved, juvenile criminal activity has been reduced and gang related activities at the complex have decreased. Our overall goal is to have each apartment resident understand their purpose through sharing commonalities and their own life experiences.
