Mothers along with their families marched on the Southside of Chicago and held a rally in in the pavilion outside of DUSable Museum.
These expressions of motherhood I captured shout that Black Lives really do Matter. We share in the anguish of mothers who have buried their Black sons and daughters too soon...and as a result of bigotry and senseless violence.
We demand justice and equity for our sons and daughters.
The Mamas stand UNITED. #georgefloyd #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforahmaud #justiceforbreonnataylor #blacklivesmatter
Surprising Stephanie was such a treat. She is such a dedicate peer leader in our IMPACT Family Center programs. We wanted her to shine today—Carver Military’s Decision Day & Senior Awards. It was on Zoom, but Ms. Rita @malikshawn and I were at her door! We’re expecting an amazing future. #classof2020 #impactalifechi #mentorchiteens #highschoolgrad @carver.seniors2020 @chicagohousingauthority @chicagosmayor @chicago.public.schools

IMPACT Family Center is #grateful to our Mentor Program Manager Tarita @malikshawn for sending a text that got the ball rolling for Alonda, who experienced a flood. She is a bright woke teen who is amazing. Let’s support her and others. We are grateful to others who already opened their hearts & wallets.
While we are sharing one 17-year-old’s story, there are others with needs:
“I lost pretty much everything in my bedroom. My entire bed including the wooden frame, some clothes, all of my favorite books, several bookbags, a notebook of all my assignments from the COVID lockdown, my graphic calculator, a pair of Tims, other shoes, SAT practice books, all of my school supplies, and both my dresser and my nightstand were all lost during a really big flood last week.”
Alonda is sleeping on the sofa.
She wears a medium, size 4 jeans, size 9 ladies shoe,
Her favorite colors are orange, yellow, dark jeans...really most colors
We have a bed being donated. We need $200 for the #movers and set up.
Please #donate at https://www.impactfamilycenter.org/donate.html to cover other youth needs.
She did not mentioned what her single-mother is facing for repairs that go beyond what insurance may cover. We have a great contractor, we just need to raise money to pay him.
Anything extra that is collected will be used for needs that other youth have during this challenging time. #impactalifechi #mentorchiteens #mentor #mentorship #teensmatter #philanthropy
