May Issue of Ujima

The May issue is final out. I know it's late but production was delayed due to a family emergency. But even though it was delayed it is still a good issue. The young girl on the cover is Simone. Her story is incredible. She started college at 15 years old. She is now 17 years old and is attending University of Texas, graduating next year. She will then apply to medical school. She is an inspiration to young people and old. She made me want to do better. I love meeting people who are young and know what they want to do and make plans for their future. She's amazing.

Although I was very happy to get the issue out, I had somewhat of a small glitch. I found out that the cafe I was going to use for the Wine Tasting event was double booked, leaving me out. So, I'm now looking for another venue. But I did not freak out and I calmly started looking for another location. I did contact the fundraiser assistant and she will assist with this task too. I have to keep the date because I have gotten the speaker locked in and I just do not want to change. I spent tonight updating my database with names, numbers and addresses. So, that's today. But tomorrow will be editing day for the June issue so it will a day of concentration. Yahoo!

Be back tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
