“Operation Purple Rain” results in 12 convictions and prison sentences Gregory Taylor, 44, of Fort Washington, Maryland, was sentenced today to serve 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering and conspiracy to distribute more than 1 kilogram of heroin for his role in a large, interstate heroin trafficking ring centered in and around Alexandria. Taylor is the twelfth and final defendant to be convicted and sentenced as part of “Operation Purple Rain,” a complex investigation and prosecution against twelve members of two heroin/fentanyl trafficking rings who are believed to have distributed more than five kilograms of heroin, worth more than $1 million on the streets, in and around Alexandria. Defendants will collectively serve more than 165 years in prison for their heroin or fentanyl distribution. The cases were coprosecuted by prosecutors from the offices of virginia Attorney General Mark Herring and Alexandria Commonwealth’s Attorney Bryan Porter following an investigation by the Alexandria Police Department and the Virginia State Police. “Alexandria and all of Northern Virginia are safer with these heroin dealers off the streets and behind bars,” said Herring. “Heroin and opioid overdoses are taking far too many Virginians from us far too soon, and the fentanyl these rings were distributing can be deadly in microscopic doses on just the first use. I’ve been tackling the problem with an approach that prioritizes enforcement against dealers and traffickers to curtail the supply of deadly drugs, alongside innovative prevention, education, and treatment initiatives. We’re seeing some positive trends, but we know there’s a lot more work that we all have to do. I'm grateful to have incredible partners in this fight, like
Bryan, Chief Brown and his team, and our colleagues at the State Police, whose good work in this case will save lives and make Northern Virginia safer. “Following two heroin overdoses in the city of Alexandria in 2016, the Alexandria Police Department, Virginia State Police, Alexandria Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, and Office of the Attorney General worked together to determine the source of the narcotics. As part of the investigation, it was learned that at least two overlapping criminal organizations were distributing heroin in the city. In March 2017, investigators executed “Operation Purple Rain”, arresting and charging 12 defendants, and seizing ten firearms from seven separate defendants, almost a kilogram of Schedule I/II drugs, and approximately six pounds of marijuana. According to court documents, the larger of the two enterprises distributed several kilograms of heroin onto the streets of Alexandria. Members of the operation also distributed large quantities of heroin to streetlevel dealers who then sold it in Alexandria. The conspirators also sought to supply firearms to their coconspirators, many of whom were already prohibited from possessing firearms as convicted felons. The smaller enterprise-which included Anthony Terry, 59, of Dumfries, and Robert Hunt, 57, of Alexandria- occasionally intertwined with the larger distribution ring. Terry and Hunt mixed their heroin with powerful synthetic opioids fentanyl and furanyl fentanyl - that increased the potency of the drug. According to trial testimony, Terry supplied Hunt with these drugs who then distributed the drugs in the city of Alexandria.

‘The Hate U Give’ will leave you breathless JAMAI HARRIS
Amandla Stenberg plays Starr in the new social justice film “The Hate U Give”.
For breaking news and more LEGACYNEWSPAPER.COM
“The Hate U Give” is a conversation starter if nothing else. So it is fitting that the film starts off with a conversation, the conversation that all black children receive that their white peers don’t. Maverick Carter played by Russell Hornsby is seen giving his three young children, Seven, Starr, played by Amandla Stenberg and Sekani instructions on how to behave when in the presence of police. The children’s mother, Lisa Carter, portrayed by Regina Hall is visibly uncomfortable, but allows Maverick to continue the lesson. Most likely so when, not if, their children are questioned by officers they make it home alive. The Carters live in a predominantly black neighborhood but the children attend a nearly all white private school. Starr has no trouble fitting in, and at school becomes what she calls Starr version two. And back home in Garden Heights she’s just Starr, the true version of herself that she can’t be around her white friends at school. Being able to navigate both worlds probably could be an entire movie all on its own. “The Hate U Give” starts out as a culture-clash story, about a young Jill Scott’s Blues Babe Foundation Giving Away $10K Scholarships black woman navigating a world where privileged white kids, think nothing of using black slang just because they think it’s cool. But Starr refuses to use slang at school because, she explains in voice-over, “it makes me hood.” Black children at white schools often face the same internal conflict as Starr, can’t be too black at school or too white at home. I went to predominantly white middle and high school, so the internal battle Starr is having is real. Seeing it on the big screen brought back some memories and
feelings that I haven’t felt since I graduated high school. Like most of us, that switch between black and white spaces, Starr was a master at pretending and convincing her white classmates that she wasn’t that different. Starr has an experience that her white classmates will most likely never have. After a fight breaks out at party in her neighborhood she leaves with her childhood friend Khalil played by Algee Smith. The pair are headed home when an officer pulls them over. Starr remembers her father’s instructions and begs Khalil to do as she says. It doesn’t seem like Kahlil has been schooled on how to handle himself in the presence of officers, the way Starr was. He’s trusting in his assumption that, since he hasn’t done anything wrong, everything will be okay. But everything was not okay in this scenario. Khalil is shot and killed right in front of Starr after reaching for his hairbrush. This is a scenario that we see in the United States way too often. An innocent, unarmed, black man, woman, or child is murdered by a police officer who claims to have been in fear for their life. In many cases the person is holding a cell phone, toy gun, book, or nothing at all. The pain and pure panic that Starr feels in that moment sent chills down my spine. The disbelief, terror and anger that is visible in her eyes and audible in her screams are hard to shake. The officer responds in the same way many officers do after killing an unarmed person. He tried to find a way to justify it. The film follows Starr’s struggle with what to do after the shooting. She could become a public witness, but then the prep school version of herself will be gone for good. “The Hate U Give” will stir up a lot of emotions, leave you breathless, and even make you uncomfortable at times, but it’s a powerful, and relevant story that needed to be told.

Attempts to implement PSLF U.S. senators, Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine, (both D-VA), joined a group of more than 150 House and Senate Democrats in requesting that U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos turn over more information regarding the Department’s flawed handling of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. The program helps certain government or non-profit full-time employees receive loan forgiveness for the remaining balance of their federal student loans. The request follows the release of a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report which revealed an alarming number of PSLF borrowers have been denied loan forgiveness. The report also showed the department has neglected to provide clear guidance and instructions to loan servicers. This failure at the department has left servicers and borrowers in the dark about which employers qualify and without detailed, accurate information regarding their loan payments. “Consumer advocates, state regulators, members of Congress, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and GAO have all repeatedly raised alarms about the Department’s handling of the PSLF program,” the members wrote. “Not only has this administration ignored the mounting warning signs… but it has actively reduced oversight of student loan servicers— thereby contributing to the current problems in student loan servicing.” Additionally, official department data recently showed that a shocking 99.6 percent of borrowers applying for PSLF have thus far been denied. Previous requests to DeVos to improve PSLF have been ignored, and the
administration has even proposed eliminating the critical loan forgiveness program entirely. Members also requested a timeline for implementing each GAO recommendation, a copy of the Department’s corrective action plan, and further details about the Department’s plan to reach out to all Direct Loan borrowers about PSLF and to fully digitize the employment certification and application process. It is critical that Congress have this information as authorizers of the program and to make any potential legislative corrections. Warner and Kaine have both pressed the department for increased clarity and consistency for PSLF borrowers, including in the April 2017 letter found here. “We are deeply troubled that millions of dedicated public servants may not obtain the loan forgiveness that they deserve if the department does not act quickly to correct program implementation issues,” the members added. Warner has introduced several bipartisan bills to improve transparency, accountability and affordability in higher education, and help borrowers better manage their student loan debts. The Dynamic Student Loan Repayment Act would make income-based repayment the default option for borrowers. The Employer Participation in Repayment Act would allow employers to apply pre-tax income to help their employees with student loan payments. Finally, the Empowering Students Through Enhanced Financial Counseling Act would promote financial literacy by providing students who are recipients of federal financial aid with comprehensive counseling services.
Kaine has led efforts to fix a glitch in the PSLF program that left some public servants facing mountains of unexpected debt because they had unknowingly been in the wrong repayment plan. In March, Congress passed Kaine’s legislation to allow those public servants to apply for the loan relief they had earned. The Trump administration is responsible for administering the loan relief through the Temporary Expanded
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (TEPSLF) Program, but so far the Department of Education has created unnecessary hurdles for borrowers and rejected 88.4 percent of applicants. Kaine has pressed DeVos to turn things around by creating a simple process that gives fair consideration to the teachers, military personnel, law enforcement officers, and other public servants who apply for this debt relief.

I have known Andrew for half of his young and impressive life. He is decent, dignified and positively driven to make a difference for all “Floridians.” Andrew Gillum is not corrupt! You may disagree with some of his policies. That is fair game. But to say he is corrupt is incorrect, inexplicable and shameful. This young man is a transformational leader. I have observed him closely in various leadership positions. Andrew Gillum served faithfully and skillfully as the Student Government Association president at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). He was a studious, steadfast, significant, and strategic thinker as a member of FAMU’s Board of Trustees. He became the youngest elected Tallahassee city commissioner. As a commissioner, he brought vibrancy, vision, value and valor to that commission. As our mayor, he has been a voice for distressed communities, a fighter for the disenfranchised, and an astute problem solver. The mayor is not perfect, but he is prepared, positive, persistent, and principled. Mayor Gillum is not corrupt! Let me be clear! Vote for whomever
you want to for governor. However, if you want a governor who will fight for better wages, Andrew Gillum is the man. If you want Medicaid expanded for the poor and sick, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want the civil rights of former felons restored, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want Florida’s archaic “Stand your ground law” to be amended or ended, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want clean water, beautiful beaches, a pristine environment and environmental justice, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want to see the minimum wage increased to $15 per hour, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want common sense gun laws, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want better schools, safer schools, innovative schools, Andrew Gillum is your man. If you want somebody who will work to save, strengthen and sustain the four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in this sunshine state, then Andrew Gillum is your man. On Nov. 6, it is your choice: Andrew Gillum is not corrupt! He is a champion for the people! Be encouraged.

About the forgotten candidate
Shaun Brown, the former independent candidate for the 2nd Congressional District filed suit last week against Christopher E. Piper, commissioner of the Department of Elections, Scott Taylor et al., alleging violation of her first and fourteenth amendment rights. Shaun’s lawsuit challenges the State of Virginia Board of Election’s failure or refusal to enforce Va. Code 24.2-506, resulting in the denial of notice of disqualification and her right to appeal that are squarely protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendment. The suit is will be heard in the Hampton Circuit Court, Civil Division. “I believe the State Board of Elections owed a duty to give me notice of any vote deficiency that provides a right of appeal. Not only were voters denied
an opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice as a result of the due process and equal protection issues raised, but I was and continue to be subjected to arbitrary and malicious attacks by Scott Taylor and the other named defendants,” says Brown. “They are seizing an opportunity to publicly prosecute me and poison the public well against me. Not only is it not fair but it is the reason for my run for Congress. Do not standby and allow the African American vote to be suppressed by their actions. As Coretta Scott King said ‘Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.’” “This is our time. Or as Michelle Obama says when they go low, we go high,” says plaintiff Brown. United Front for Justice
Trump goes postal. But in a good way
On Oct. 17, president Donald Trump announced plans to withdraw the United States from the Universal Postal Union, a 144-year-old international agreement which coordinates postal policies between 192 member nations. Trump left open
the possibility of remaining in the UPU if those policies can be successfully renegotiated. Unlike many of Trump’s initiatives relating to international trade, this one makes real sense. The UPU’s outdated rate-setting model treats the world’s second largest economy, that of China, as if it was still the primitive precapitalist economy of 1874. The result: A massive subsidy from the US Postal Service to China’s 21st century international retail sector. Companies shipping small parcels (“ePackets”) from China to the US pay less than US companies to ship parcels of similar size and weight across much shorter distances within the U.S. itself. That subsidy has created a burgeoning business in jewelry, electronics, and other small items. Chinese firms already enjoy lower labor costs than their American counterparts. Throw in the ePacket subsidy, and an American who’s willing to wait a couple of weeks can get a set of guitar strings sent all the way from China for less than an American firm would pay just to ship the strings from, say, Coachella, California, let alone make them in the first place. As of 2014, the U.S. Postal
Service took a $75 million annual loss on the ePacket subsidy. That’s probably a tiny fraction of sales the subsidy artificially shifts from American firms to their Chinese competitors. My family loves the Chinese ecommerce sites and sellers. And to be honest, many of the things we buy from them aren’t things that we’d otherwise buy domestically. They’re things we probably just wouldn’t buy at all at full American prices. But why should you pay more for domestic USPS Priority Mail or Parcel Post so that I pay less to feed my guitar and harmonica habit or add to my wife’s earring collection? I’m sure we’ll get by without those cheap geegaws if we have to. I doubt we’ll have to. As the ePacket subsidy comes to an end, I suspect private sector shipping firms will step in with something similar. The subsidy doesn’t just hurt American manufacturers and sellers. It also undercuts companies like UPS and FedEx. They may not be able to get shipping costs down to ePacket levels, but I bet they can compete with un-subsidized USPS shipping rates. Let’s find out.

Good Friday offering raises record total to support Middle East ministries The Episcopal Church’s Good Friday Offering, an annual collection to support ministries in the Middle East, hit a fundraising milestone in 2017, topping $400,000 for the first time. The offering has been a “remarkable success” in recent years, said the Rev. Robert Edmunds, the church’s Middle East partnership officer. More than 1,400 congregations, including those in overseas dioceses of the Episcopal Church, participated on Good Friday 2017. Contributions totaled $414,310 according to figures finalized recently after a church audit. The Good Friday Offering supports a variety of programs in the Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, such as conferences and summer camps for children in the Diocese of
Jerusalem, women’s empowerment programs, an eye clinic and other medical ministries. The Good Friday Offering, an initiative of the presiding bishop’s office, dates to 1922, when it was created in the aftermath of World War I in an attempt to foster relationships with Christians in the Middle East by supporting relief work and ecumenical partnerships. Each year, the Episcopal Church provides the proceeds to dioceses in the region to distribute to their locally led ministries. The amount collected by all Episcopal congregations on Good Friday had fallen to $266,000 in 2013, but it topped $350,000 in each of the three following years before setting a record in 2017. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry embarked on a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land leading up to Good Friday 2018. Among the stops on Curry’s Holy Week trip was the Al Ahli Arab Hospital, whose medical ministry in Gaza City receives money from the Good Friday Offering. The total collected from the 2018 Good Friday Offering has not yet been released. The Episcopal Church’s United Thank Offering grant program and Episcopal Relief & Development also have provided advocacy, awareness and financial support through the years for the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. The Episcopal Church’s General Convention regularly considers resolutions related to Middle East issues. Resolutions that take positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflicttypically generate the most debate, though the
church has backed other measures as well, affirming financial support for peacemaking efforts and humanitarian ministries. A 2012 resolution specifically singled out the Al Ahli Hospital for support. And in July, the 79th General Convention passed a resolution in response to a humanitarian crisis in Yemen. The resolution on Yemen concluded by asserting “that throughout the Middle East region access to water and sustainable agriculture are serious problems and a primary source of conflict,” and it pledged to undertake “relief and long-term economic development projects in areas such as education, job creation and health care, as well as sustainable solutions for the lack of access to water.”

Jill Scott’s Blues Babe Foundation giving away $10K scholarships Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter and poet Jill Scott has an organization called the Blues Babe Foundation. Based in North Philadelphia, the program offers financial support and mentoring for students across the country that have shown the aptitude and commitment to their education, but whose families may not have the resources to ensure completion of their undergraduate degrees. The Blues Babe Foundation is led by Scott herself and her team of passionate professionals invested in the success of young people, and they have provided more than 50 scholarships ranging from $250 for book stipends to $10,000 for their writing scholarship in partnership with Hallmark’s Mahogany brand. Since it’s inception, the foundation has benefited from strong community and corporate partnerships. The programs are rooted in cultivating academic and artistic success in youth coming from underserved communities. Not one to distance herself from her humble beginnings in Philadelphia, Scott was inspired by events in her own life to ensure that other deserving young people would not find their education stalled due to lack of financial support. The deadline for this scholarship is usually in OCTOBER, and the amount is typically up to $10,000.
Not forgetting where she comes from, Jill Scott (center) works to ensure youth will not have their education stalled because of financial strains.

31 facts about breast cancer NICOLE WHITE/ CITY OF HOPE 1. The American Cancer Society estimated last year that about 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer would be diagnosed in women. 2. The leading risk factor for breast cancer is simply being a woman. 3. Men can also get breast cancer. 4. A woman has about a one in eight chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, according to the National Cancer Institute. 5. Most women who get breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease. 6. Women who have close blood relatives with breast cancer have a higher risk. 7. While much progress has been made in breast cancer treatment and research, more work remains. 8. Another top risk factor for breast cancer: Simply getting older. Most breast cancers are found in women age 55 and older. 9. In the 1970s, breast cancer lifetime risk was one in 11 — compared to today’s one in eight. 10. Thanks to new treatments and early detection, the five-year relative survival rate for women with breast cancer is about 90 percent. 11. About five to 10 percent of breast cancers can be traced to specific, inherited gene mutations, such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. 12. Like other gene mutations, BRCA mutations are rare in the general population. 13. On average, 55 to 65 percent of women who inherit a harmful BRCA1 mutation and around 45 percent of women who inherit a harmful BRCA2 mutation will develop breast cancer by age 70. 14. Women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age. 15. Women of Ashkenazi Jewish
heritage are at higher risk of having BRCA mutation. 16. While non-Hispanic white women have higher rates of breast cancer incidence, African-American women have a higher incidence rate before age 40 and are more likely to die from breast cancer at every age. 17. Women with dense breasts (more glandular and fibrous tissue and less fatty tissue) on mammograms have a risk of breast cancer that is about 1.5 to 2 times that of women with average breast density. 18. Women who have had more menstrual cycles because they started menstruating early (especially before age 12) or went through menopause later (after age 55) have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. 19. Research suggests breastfeeding for a year or more slightly reduces overall risk of breast cancer. 20. The movement away from onesize-fits all screening doesn’t mean you should skip your mammogram. The American Cancer Society continues to recommend women should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screenings with mammograms at age 40. 21. Herceptin, a breast cancer “smart drug,” can trace its roots to City of Hope. 22. A 2017 JAMA study found that in the U.S., younger women with breast cancer are increasingly opting to undergo double mastectomies, even if they were diagnosed with early-stage cancer in only one breast. 23. In certain states, over 42 percent of women 20 to 44 who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2012 opted to remove both breasts with a CPM, a procedure to remove the healthy breast along with the affected breast. 24. Women often detect breast cancers themselves, so don’t underestimate the importance of a monthly breast self-exam. 25. Exercise reduces breast cancer
risk for women of all body types. 26. Thirty minutes per week of exercise has been found to be beneficial. 27. Exercise is also beneficial to breast cancer survivors. 28. Minimize alcohol intake to control risk. That means one glass of wine, one beer or one hard liquor
drink per day. 29. Quit smoking to control risk of many diseases, including breast cancer. 30. Breast cancer survivors are at an increased risk of osteoporosis. 31. If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, a second opinion could save your life.

Health departments work to reduce pregnancy-related deaths Q&A with National Association of County and City Health Department Chief Executive Officer Lori Tremmel Freeman
The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) represents the nation’s nearly 3,000 local health departments. NACCHO’s efforts focus on promoting health and equity, combating disease, and improving the quality and length of all lives. NACCHO’s CEO Lori Tremmel Freeman discusses the rising maternal mortality rate and strategies to improve maternal health. Q. The U.S. has the highest maternal death rate of any developed nation. What are the reasons for this and who is more likely to suffer fatal pregnancy-related complication? A. The high and rising maternal mortality ratio in the United States is tragic and unacceptable. Sadly, there is no one cause for these rising numbers of mothers dying unnecessarily. There can be a multitude of factors involved including mental health, physical health, access to care, and quality of care. Sometimes the death is due to multiple factors, creating complex reasons for the loss of a mom. What is even more alarming is the stark inequities in outcomes associated with race and geography. Even when controlling for age, socioeconomic status and education, maternal deaths among African-American women remain four times the rate of white women, 46 percent of which, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are potentially preventable, compared with 33 percent of such deaths among white women. Similarly, women in
the South experience a higher risk of death from pregnancy complications than the rest of the country. For example, an African-American woman in Mississippi is almost twice as likely to die as a white woman in Mississippi or an African-American woman in California. To reduce the incidence of maternal deaths and eliminate inequities, it is important to apply an equity lens to this growing crisis. We need to make visible the role of racism and nonbiomedical factors that underlie these deaths and prioritize efforts to shift the social determinants of health to improve the health of all women. We need to investigate the factors that contributed to every death of a woman during pregnancy, childbirth, and the year postpartum to save the lives of future moms. Q. What can local health departments do to support these moms? A. Public health agencies at the state and local health departments at the community level monitor and solve health problems, and maternal mortality and
morbidity is a sentinel indicator of the health of women in their communities and health care quality. The best way to bring down maternal mortality is by examining the factors behind these deaths and learning from them. The gold standard of maternal mortality surveillance is a maternal mortality review committee. These multidisciplinary committees are convened by the state health department on a regular basis to review each and every death of woman that took place during pregnancy, childbirth, or the year postpartum. They determine if the death was pregnancy related (if she had not been pregnant, would she have died?), whether the death was preventable, and what actions, if implemented or altered, may have changed the course of events. Local health departments play a vital role and are a strong partner in implementing the recommendations by the committee, especially with respect to addressing health disparities, which often require working across sectors, including with academic partners and health systems, in coordinated efforts to design
and implement interventions. Although surveillance is key to identifying factors, nothing happens unless a local community becomes involved in addressing the reasons for the mother’s death. Local health departments are positioned to develop and implement the interventions after the surveillance has occurred and factors in the death properly identified. Q. Is there enough government funding to support these efforts? A. Traditionally, state-level Title V Maternal and Child Health programs, funded through Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau, have provided some flexible support to conduct the maternal mortality surveillance in about half of the United States. That’s not good enough. Fortunately, there is a bi-partisan effort underway in Congress for The Preventing Maternal Deaths Act and Maternal Health Accountability Act would help establish maternal mortality review committees in all 50 states. The legislation is still awaiting movement in Washington.

Danielle Brown elected president of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.
“I’m humbled by the great opportunity to serve as the 26th National President of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.” ~Danielle Brown
Danielle Brown has been elected the 26th national president of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. The announcement was made at the organization’s 43rd National Convention recently held in Kansas City, Missouri. “I’m humbled by the great opportunity to serve as the 26th National President of Jack and Jill of America, Inc..,” Brown said. “Opportunities have never been greater for children of color, yet at the same time, they continue to face challenges that have plagued generations before them. The purpose of our organization has always been to equip our children with the tools needed not just to get by in America, but to succeed, to thrive, to lead and to serve in the 21st century. I’m looking forward to continuing the great work done by my predecessors in this regard.” Jack and Jill of America is celebrating its 80th anniversary. It is the nation’s oldest African American family organization, founded in 1938 with the specific mission of nurturing future African American leaders by stimulating the growth and development of children through educational, cultural, civic, recreational, health and social programs inspired by mothers. Through its nearly 250 chapters organized in seven regions across the United States, the organization consists of more than 30,000 family members, which includes mother members, fathers and children ages two through 19. Jack and Jill of America chapters also support nonprofit organizations through its philanthropic arm, the Jack and Jill of America Foundation which is among the first foundations established by African-American families in the United States. Since its founding in 1968, the
foundation has granted millions of dollars to worthy causes supporting children and families. Brown grew up as a child in the organization, and - following in the footsteps of her Great Aunt, a founding member of the organization's first chapter in Philadelphia Chapter, her Mother, a founding member of the Loudoun County, Virginia Chapter, and her aunt, a past national vice president - she joined the organization as a mother in 1998, in the Alexandria Mount Vernon Chapter and later transferred to her current Loudoun County Virginia Chapter. Over the last two decades, she has served Jack and Jill in positions of increasing responsibility, most recently as its national vice president. A graduate of George Mason University, Brown brings more than 25 years of proven expertise in nonprofit development, fundraising, public relations, event planning and executive sales. She is active in several organizations devoted to serving the community, including the Links Inc. In addition to Brown, delegates to the Jack and Jill of America, Inc., 2018 convention chose a slate of new officers to lead the organization, including National Vice President Tanya Hand, of the Indianapolis, Indiana Chapter; National Program Director Lisa Grant-Dawson of the Greater Vallejo, California Chapter; National Recording Secretary Michelle Gentry Anderson of the Tulsa Oklahoma Chapter; National Corresponding Secretary Consuella Guillory-Adams of the Houston, Texas Chapter; National Treasurer Pamela D. Taylor of the Raleigh-Wake, North Carolina Chapter; and National Editor Gina Williams-Jackson of the Memphis, Tenn. Chapter.
