Hello World!

Why would I want to start a blog, pertaining to parenting resources in the Seattle Area? Because, there is a GREAT need to share information and resources within the communities of color. My friends are always asking me; How did your kids get involved in that? How did you hear about that program? Or where did you find that information at? Well, now you all will get constant updates on EVERYTHING I know about; navigating through the local public school systems, advocating for your child, academic/enrichment program opportunities and more. – Stay tuned….first blog coming soon.

This is one of my favorite African proverbs – “It takes a village to raise a child” 

I always think of this when I dedicate myself to work within our community, I am not only a Warrior Mother for my children, but for yours too! – GLB
