Wake Up to Voting and Your rights as an American to do just that. Wake Up to adoption, not every one was made to carry your own child, but God still want’s to Bless you to be a Parent. Wake Up to Domestic Violence...So many times this topic is so Taboo but with the help of Moses T. Alexander Greene he shows us that it is still so necessary.

Voting & Your
Rights with
Gilda Daniels by: Renee’ Smith

Diamond Diva
Professor Daniels is a voting rights expert, who has served as a Deputy Chief in the United States Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Voting Section in both the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Professor Daniels is currently an assistant professor of law teaching critical legal theory, election law, and civil procedure at the University of Baltimore School of Law. She has approximately two decades of voting rights experience specializing in the Voting Rights Act, the National Voter Registration Act and other federal voting statutes. She is also the co-editor of a nonpartisan redistricting website, www.redistrictingonline.org. Today we have the honor of sitting down and talking with Gilda and having her share her story with us. DD: Tell me who Gilda Daniels is, and what influences you? GD: Wow! Who is Gilda Daniels? The making of Gilda Daniels is the product of Walter Lee and Betty Jean, my parents and how they raised me growing up in Louisiana, I'm very proud of it, I am Gumbo, Collard Greens, Fried Shrimp, Po' Boys and all that. I love Louisiana and I love my family. Growing up I just did not realize we were poor by the world's standards until I went to
law school. I didn't even know a lawyer before I went to law school but what my parents instilled in me let me know that even though my parents did not go to college that I was exactly where I was supposed to be. One of the first Bible verses that my father taught me was “Seek Ye First the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you�, Matthew 6:33. I did not understand it at the time but he has always taught me if you just asked the Lord, and trust God and listen to what He is saying, God will give you everything that you need. I graduated from Grambling and went to NYU with one hundred dollars and the rest is history like they say. It's like one of those stories from the 1950's where someone gives you just enough money to get on the train and a greasy bag of chicken and tell you that you have to make it and that giving up is not an option. So who I am is a product of what my parents made of me and that is officially someone that loves God and seeks daily God's purpose for my life. I have dedicated my life to using my law degree so I can help people. After I graduated from NYU, I worked with a judge in Florida with the Federal Court and then I represented Death Row inmates in Georgia and Alabama and handled prison condition cases. From there I went cont. on page 7

to the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Voting Section. I have always just wanted to use my law degree to help people. DD: What are three things that you believe black women need to wake up to? GD: We need to wake up to our potential, we need to wake up to our power, and wake up to our passion. Waking up to our potential means recognizing that we are not only a strong voting bloc, but a strong economic block. We are getting to the point that we as African American women are becoming more educated and tend to have higher expectations. We are recognizing that we have the potential of owning our own businesses, running for political offices. Essentially just doing those things that our mommas told us that we could do. Stop listening to those voices that tell us that we are not good enough or those voices that tell us that it has never been done before but listening to what God is telling us, that we are beautifully and wonderfully made. The power comes in just knowing that we have the power to affect our
-7-
communities in positive ways. For me, my family and writing are my passions, so if women could wake up and know there is power in passion and it ignites our potential as well as show us the power that we have. DD: What angers you most about the relationship between voting and the voting rights with African Americans? GD: I don't know if anger is the right word, maybe concern. The thing that concerns me the most is I don't think we recognize the power that we have. For example, if during the 2008 election, if African Americans had not turned out at the polls the way that they did, Barack Obama would not have been the 44th President of the United States. If they had not shown up in the numbers that they did, we just might have had a McCain presidency. So the concern would be that we have to do it again and again, the turnout is crucial. In North Carolina It was the African American voters and the students, the young people, that carried him to victory and that was great for 2008 but they have to know that they have to do it again
Diamond Diva
in 2012. DD: That is so true, it's sad to say but prior to 2008 I never voted, I just always thought my vote never counted, I was just one person and that it really would not matter anyway. I think the fact of us having an African American candidate, it just ignited something within me to say ok, maybe this time my one little vote would count. DD: Your kids……Lauren and William what are some things that you say to them as it pertains to voting? GD: I most definitely talk to both of them about the importance of voting. My daughter and I went to the Inauguration together. We were right in front of the White House waiting for the President & Mrs. Obama's car to pass. I tell them that as an American they have the power to cast a ballot for the candidate of their choice and that only in America because of the sacrifices that were made by people like their grandparents we have that right and the freedom to vote, and that we should not take that lightly. I have taken them with me to vote. They have gotten their I've voted stickers and they know that it's something that's very important and something that they should do and take very seriously.
Diamond Diva
DD: Is there anything that I may have missed that you would like to share with my readers, or something you feel that we really need to know or be aware of as it relates to voting and just “Waking Up”? GD: First of all I just want to thank you for thinking of me and taking the time to hear and share what I have to say. I'm very appreciative of you and your readers and I will continue to pray for you and your magazine that God will do exceedingly, abundantly above all what you could ever ask or think. But as for your readers, I would like to say for them to be encouraged, and know that God really has a great plan for all of us. Again Gilda it has been my pleasure speaking with you and I thank you so much for sharing your story with me and my readers and just opening our eyes to the importance of voting.

First Lady Call to
Obama’s America By: Renee Smith
Over the past few years as first lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country. And everywhere I've gone, in the people I've met, and the stories I've heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit. I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls. I've seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay. I've seen it in people who become heroes at a moment's notice, diving into harm's way to save others flying across the country to put out a fire driving for hours to bail out a flooded town. And I've seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families in wounded warriors who tell me they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run, and they're going to run marathons in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, “I'd give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.”
Every day, the people I meet inspire me. Every day, they make me proud. Every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on Earth. Serving as your first lady is an honor and a privilege. But back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we'd begun.

While I believed deeply in my husband's vision for this country, and I was certain he would make an extraordinary president, like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance. How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight? How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they'd ever known? Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys. Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house, and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both. And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls. I deeply loved the man I had built that life with, and I didn't want that to change if he became president. I loved Barack just the way he was.
You see, even though back then Barack was a senator and a presidential candidate, to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door. He was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.
But when Barack started telling me about his family that's when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine. You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves. My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when my brother and I were young. And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain. I knew there were plenty of mornings
when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed. But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform. And when he returned home after a long day's work, my brother and I cont. on page 12

would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms. But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work; he and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of. And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants. But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself. And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short. He was so proud to be sending his kids to college, and he made sure we never missed a registration deadline because his check was late. You see, for my dad, that's what it meant to be a man.
Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in lifebeing able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family. And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me. Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help. Barack's grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank, and she moved quickly up the ranks. But like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling. And for years, men no more qualified than she wasmen she had actually trainedwere promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more

and more money while Barack's family continued to scrape by. But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus, arriving at work before anyone else, giving her best without complaint or regret. And she would often tell Barack, “So long as you kids do well, Bar, that's all that really matters.” Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it. They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don't start out with much, if you work hard and do what you're supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids. That's how they raised us. That's what we learned from their example. We learned about dignity and decencythat how hard you work matters more than how much you make. That helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself. We learned about honesty and integritythat the truth matters. That you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules. And success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
We learned about gratitude and humilitythat so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean. And we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect. Those are the values Barack and Iand so many of youare trying to pass on to our own children. That's who we are.
And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn't want any of that to change if Barack became president. Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you areit reveals who you are. You see, I've gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like. And I've seen how the issues that come across a president's desk are always the hard onesthe problems where no amount of data or numbers

will get you to the right answer. The judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error. And as president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are. So when it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother. He's thinking about the pride that comes from a hard day's work. That's why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal work. That's why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet. That's how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America.
When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president. He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politicallythat's not how he was raisedhe cared that it was the right thing to do. He did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine. Our kids should be able to see a doctor
cont. on page 16
when they're sick. And no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or illness. And he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care. That's what my husband stands for. When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid. And believe it or not, when we were first married, our

combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage. We were so young, so in love, and so in debt. That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.
So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't politicalthey're personal. Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles. He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids. Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it, and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.
And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago. He's the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives. He's the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew. That's the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships. That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him.

The letter from the father struggling to pay his bill, from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care, from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities. I see the concern in his eyes…and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, “You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle. It's not right. We've got to keep working to fix this. We've got so much more to do.” I see how those storiesour collection of struggles and hopes and dreamsI see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day. And I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago. Even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met. I love that he's never forgotten how he started. I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hardespecially when it's hard. I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them”he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above he knows that we all love our country and he's always ready to listen to good ideas he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets. And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating itwhen we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace. And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here, and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once. But eventually we get there, we always do. We get there because of folks like my dad. Folks like Barack's grandmother. Men and women who said to themselves, “I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will, maybe my grandchildren will.” So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love. Because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard. So today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelmingor even impossiblelet us never forget that doing the impossible is the history of this nation. It's who we are as Americans. It's how this country was built. And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us, if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button, then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids. And if so many brave men and women could wear our country's
-17-
Diamond Diva
uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights, then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights. Surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election Day. If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire, if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores, if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote, if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time, if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream , and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love, then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream. Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this countrythe story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle. That is what has made my story, and Barack's story, and so many other American stories possible. And I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady, and not just as a wife. You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still “mom in chief.� My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world. But today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what's best for our girls. Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters. If we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise, if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you're willing to work for itthen we must work like never before. And we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward: my husband, our president, President Barack Obama. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

evident. EVERYONE knew that. Growing up in my home church, I was the babysitter. I had “raised” at least 12 children. But I had been abandoned, and was facing a divorce. Would my dreams of becoming a mother end? Fast forward to my 40thbirthday. I met a new man, and we were planning a small intimate ceremony to celebrate our love and marriage. But I must say, at 40, was it even possible to have children? We were firm in knowing that because of my age, we essentially had

“You don't have to give birth to be a mother!” I heard those words many years ago at a church convocation. A woman was sharing her testimony that she had wanted to be a mother, but she and her husband had been unable to conceive. The Lord blessed them to become parents through adoption. That stuck with me, but I didn't really know why. I was 35 years old at the time that I heard that testimony and my then husband had just abandoned me and our marriage. We had a lavish wedding ceremony with 200+ guests, a worldwind honeymoon, and here I was not sure what God was trying to show me or teach me.

Does it always have to take PAIN For you to realize you've pushed yourself too far? by Moses T. Alexander Greene
In my second book, “I Fought to be This Happy”, I pose a question which female readers have said resonated with them in amazing ways. This is a question I'm asking every female reader to FIRST ask herself and THEN, the young ladies and women in her life. Ask it of your financial self, spiritual self, mental and emotional selves, and relational self. Here goes: “Does it always have to take PAIN for you to realize you've pushed yourself too far?” Answer it. By the time pain shows up, you've missed the signals that life was sending you to tell you that living and making choices as you were has not been in the best interests of your self-esteem, self-image, self-worth and being. Whether it is diabetes, depression or domestic violence, the pain of the condition/situation is meant to make you pay attention and respond by modifying your behavior. WAKE UP! And specifically of domestic violence, did you know: ~ Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. ~Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten. ~ Every day in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. ~Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually. ~ Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a break-up. ~Domestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alone the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs. ~ Based on reports from 10 countries, between 55 percent and 95 percent of women who had been physically abused by their partners had never contacted non-governmental organizations, shelters, or the police for help. You cannot be a “diamond” or a “diva” if you are ignorant to your worth and being HURT in love. WAKE UP!
