It was so wonderful to support the Oscar Grant Foundation Gala this year. To be there for this monumental annual event blessed my spirit. To be able to serve Mrs. Wanda and the foundation was truly a rewarding and remarkable experience. May Oscars spirit continue to move this world in a mighty way—many blessings to his daughters, family, friends, and community.

Do you find yourself showcasing a facade of bravery while hiding in the anonymity of social media? It might be helpful to understand when to practice emotional intelligence and management. Not every life event needs to be shared online. When you’re feeling emotionally unsettled, it’s wise to avoid posting your unresolved feelings just for a handful of likes or followers. **Respect, integrity, and character** should always take precedence. This phenomenon, often referred to as “delusional social media courage syndrome,” can impact both children and adults. Stay vigilant! 🫡
