Senator Larcenia Bullard and Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. had a close relationship both being from South Carolina. He gave her the nickname "Pockets" and would greet her that way whenever they'd see each other. Now that both are ancestors it is my hope that they are embracing in Heaven and help guide our direction here on Earth. Rest in Peace Rev. Jackson 🦋

Today we celebrate Mrs. Thelma Vernell Anderson Gibson on her 99th birthday.

She is the oldest living graduate of George Washington Carver Senior High School and a true trailblazer in Miami Dade County. Mrs. Gibson was the first colored Assistant Supervisor of the Miami Dade County Department of Health and a lifelong advocate for public health and underserved communities.

She helped found the Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Miami Dade County, played a key role in forming the Miami Chapter of the National Black Nurses Association, and later founded The Thelma Gibson Health Initiative.

At 99, she is living history. Miami is better because of her.
