First, I would like to celebrate my mother’s mother (yes, my grandmother) Janie Brown, who I remember as the lady who had the house in Watts, California where my twin sister and I would visit with our mother Sybil Hicks, who was one of the most loving human beings I have ever met.
My wife Elizabeth, who has been a great example of how to raise children to become responsible, productive, caring, and loving individuals. My eldest daughter Erica who is a smart, beautiful, funny, and strong spirited woman, my 2nd daughter Alicia, who is a smart and beautiful woman who gave me my first grandchild, my daughter in law Kiesha, who is a smart and beautiful woman who gave me my second grand child, my twin sister Tonia who has been a great aunt, and of course my lifelong sibling from day one. My baby sister Aida who has turned out to be a beautiful young lady and mother.
Now remembering the special women in my life and celebrating all women during March…. I want to give credit to the women in our country who have stepped up to the plate and pushed the envelope for more people to become registered to vote and participate in the very foundation that determines our quality of life!
Happy Women’s Month to all the women in your life!!
