Realizing the Dream, celebrating the King

MY TRUTH

by Cheryl Smith, Publisher

Expo exceeded expectations I was taught to value a few things and that is why healthy living is important to me. I’m talking about more than physical health because in order to take advantage of this experience we call life, it would be to your advantage to think about being healthy: physically, socially, financially, holistically, mentally and spiritually.

That’s why the Realizing the Dream Healthy Living Expo is so very important.

This is only the second year, but it’s been in the works for quite some time.

Before his death in 2017, the legendary Dick Gregory talked about the importance of health as he encouraged audiences to drink water, walk and get plenty of rest.

He also said that between he and his wife, Lillian, there was not one medical prescription.

Now that assertion might not be pleasing to the ears of those in the medical and pharmaceutical industries; but for many it was eye-opening.

Which brings me to my truth.

Shame and Shade in Birmingham THE LAST WORD

By Dr. Julianne Malveaux Author, economist and president emerita of Bennett College.

If anyone deserves a civil rights award, Angela Davis certainly does.

The activist and scholar has been on the front lines of the civil rights movement all of her life. She has been especially active in prison reform matters, but she has also been involved in other civil and human rights issues. When I learned back in October that she would get the Fred Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, I was absolutely delighted. I imagined the wide smile the daughter of Birmingham must have flashed when she learned that she would be honored.

Everyone in Birmingham wasn't thrilled, though. Some people in the conservative Southern town seemed disturbed that she had been a member of both the Black Panther Party and the Communist Party. Others were concerned about her support of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement) against the Israeli occupation. She has said that she stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and advocates for their fair treatment in Israel.

Some ill informed people consider the BDS movement "anti-Semitic". They suggest that any questions that one raises about Israel shows a bias against Jewish people. But Davis, a lifelong human rights activist, is concerned about the humanity of Palestinian people, as well as other people. And she is rightfully concerned, as many of us are, about the spate of laws recently passed that downright outlaw the BDS movement. According to the Middle East Monitor, a teacher in Texas, Bahia Amawl, refused to sign an oath that required her to pledge that she "does not currently boycott Israel", that she will not boycott Israel and that she will "refrain from any action that is intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations with

Israel". Texas is among some 25 states that have passed laws forbidding the state from doing business with companies that boycott Israel! It will also not invest pension funds in companies that support BDS. Thirteen more states including Washington DC, have similar laws to the Texas law pending, pitting people's first amendment rights of free speech against support for Israel.

And Florida Senator Marco Rubio, in the middle of a government shutdown, had the nerve to introduce national legislation that mirrors the Texas law (actually, Illinois was the first state to

Angela Davis

pass this discriminatory law).

Lots of people in Birmingham aren't having it. Though the "Civil Rights Institute" has rescinded its award to Dr. Angela Davis, there has been significant protest about the decision.

Birmingham's Mayor, Randall Woodfin, who is a non-voting member of the Museum Board and did not participate in the decision to rescind the award (the city provides the museum with about a million dollars a year in operating funds) has expressed his dismay about the decision. Three board members have resigned from the board. And Alabama columnist Roy S. Johnson has written a fiery column accusing the Civil Rights Institute of insulting Rev. Shuttlesworth and staining its own legacy. Johnson says the Birmingham Jewish community may have been the loudest, but not the only folks pushing for Davis' award to be rescinded.

Who rescinds an award after it has been granted for statements that were not recently made, but are a matter of record? Angela Davis has long been an outspoken activist, just like Rev.

Fred Shuttlesworth was. Nothing had been changed from the time Davis was notified of the award and January 4, when it was rescinded. The BCRI did not have to honor Davis, but their canceling the award is a special kind of insult. Fortunately, Angela Davis has a thick skin, and she knows exactly who she is. She didn't cringe when then-California governor Ronald Reagan had her fired from UCLA for her membership in the Communist Party.

She didn't flinch when she was incarcerated for a crime she did not commit.

And she will not tremble because the BCRI rescinded the award.

Indeed, demonstrating the indomitable spirit that she is known for, Angela Davis will travel to Birmingham in February for an alternative event. And the Birmingham Civil Rights Museum has egg on its face. That city showed a young Angela Davis who they were when the Four Little Girls, some of whom she knew, were killed at the 16 Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

And they are showing her who they are once again. Shame and shade!Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. One of the founders of the Women's March has demanded the resignations of Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour because they attended one of Minister Louis Farrakhan's Savior's Days. Marc Lamont Hill lost his CNN commentary gig because he spoke up for Palestinian rights. Alice Walker has been criticized because she supports BDS. Now Angela Davis is being denied an award.

When is enough going to be enough?

For the record, I support Palestinian rights. And I support Israel's right to exist. Are the two incompatible? I think not. The one-state solution, with a right to return, and full citizenship rights for Palestinians makes sense. But Israel is not about to budge, and BDS as an attempt to influence it. States passing laws to outlaw free speech erodes the first principle of our Constitution and undercut the actions at the very foundation of our nation. Remember the folks who dumped tea into the Boston Harbor because of an unfair tax? Today that action might be against the law!

Trump’s priority is dangerous FROM THE WESTSIDE

By Dr. P. L. Wright Ph.D. thewestsidegazette.com

During the Presidents’ Partial Government shutdown, it is causing as much danger or possibly more danger to everyone and every industry than the Presidents’ Wall dilemma. He is still refusing to budge even after nearly a month. Maybe he hasn’t evaluated what he is doing to the American citizens and the country due to his decision to shut down a partial Government.

The American citizens are facing mortgage arrears that could in some cases cause them to lose their homes or be evicted from their apartments.

They are also facing medical dilemmas too. How can the citizens function being without a pay check to pay their bills and take care of their families? Mr. President is putting America at risk in the skies to travel too.

His own citizens are seriously in danger to fly anywhere, and so is he. Those persons who guide our airplanes from the airport control towers are working without a pay check too. If they decide to find another job that they can receive their pay check each month, that would cause another danger to our entire country airlines and all the Americans citizens. They are working there to prevent air planes in the skies to help prevent them from crashing into each other or crashing to the ground.

The entire country has been put into danger due to the demands of our country’s’ President. He could also be in danger while in the skies due to the shortage of airlines employees from their specific job positions, like

the control towers. It is most dangerous to all the millions of passengers who fly each day in the country everywhere. Many citizens travel to work by plane.

Some of them may just be traveling from one place to another to visit with other family members.

Mr. President, Do you realize that the financial crisis you have created is costing nearly as much as what you are asking to build the Southern Border Wall? This is not logical, and it is most irrational thinking for a President of any country to demand of its’ citizens to work without a paycheck not knowing when they will be paid for the work, they are doing due to a partial Government shutdown. Mr. President, do you realize what you are doing, or what you have already done to America and its’ citizens? Are you sure you know what your priority decision is causing to the American citizens? May God forgive you.

The American citizens do not agree to secure the Southern border Wall by your means. is your priority to build this wall so great to you that you are willing to destroy American way of life? All the money in the world cannot prevent any person from experiencing the dangerous impact that is caused by your Partial Government Shutdown. It is the cause and effect that is impacting everyone.? In this matter of dilemma, in answering with a possible resolution to save America and its’ citizens.

A partial government shutdown should end this destruction of America immediately and save our American citizens from more dilemmas and dangers than any of us could imagine.

Now can you take that to your bank, Can you Mr. President?

Let us stop the disagreeing and come together to solve this dilemma.

Zeta Phi Beta, celebrates 99 years of service with induction of Founder Viola Tyler Goings' daughter, Wynona Kidd

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated inducts Wynona Kidd, the daughter of Founder Viola Tyler Goings and niece of Founder Myrtle Tyler Faithful as an honorary member. She is the oldest living descendant of Zeta's five founding members. Standing from left to right: Deborah Hill, niece; Valerie Hollingsworth-Baker, 25th International President; Kyra Hardiman, daughter; Dr. Mary Breaux Wright, 24th International President, and Dr. Jylla Tearte, 20th International President; seated: Wynona Kidd.

-- Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, a leading women's service organization, concluded its international executive board meeting at the Grand

Hyatt Baha Mar, Nassau, Bahamas on Jan. 12, 2019 with the induction of Wynona Kidd as an honorary member. Kidd is the daughter of Viola Ty-

ler Goings and niece of Myrtle Tyler Faithful, two of the sorority's founding members. At 95 years young, Kidd is the oldest living descendant of the organization's five founding members.

"As we celebrate 99 years of service today, and prepare for our Centennial in 2020, we are delighted to welcome Mrs. Kidd into our sisterhood," said Valerie Hollingsworth-Baker, Zeta International President.

Zeta members voted to induct her as an honorary member during its 2018 Grand BoulĂŠ in New Orleans, La., along with Louisiana State Senator Regina Ashford Barrow.

Kidd, a native of Clairsville, Ohio, aspired to become a Zeta while a student at Wilberforce University, but was forced to drop out of college to help support her family when WWII began. She became a founding member of the local Jack and Jill of America chapter, but was not able to become a Zeta. When asked about how she felt about becoming a member of Zeta, Kidd said, "I can't believe it! I feel like Cinderella‌I am so happy to be

a member of Zeta!"

During the sorority's visit to Nassau, Zeta leadership made a courtesy call to Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert A. Minnis, and Bahamian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Peter Turnquest.

While on the island, International President Hollingsworth-Baker also presented a $25,000 donation to the Ranfurly Homes for Children on behalf of the organization.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1920 on the campus of Howard University. The international organization's 125,000+ initiated members, operating in more than 850 chapters, have given millions of voluntary hours to educate the public, provide scholarships, support charities, and promote legislation for social and civic change.

If Beale Street Could Talk

If Beale Street Could Talk has been out since Christmas, but it is a hard movie to find movie because it's only out in limited release. The movie is based on a novel by James Baldwin, who was well known for his books and social commentary from the late '50s until the 1970s.

The movie reflects the racist judicial system that existed in the 1970s that is still widespread today.

The movie's main characters are Fonny played by Stephan James and Tish, who is portrayed by the young actress KiKi Layne. The young couple has been inseparable since childhood. As young adults, they fall in love and Tish becomes pregnant with Fonny's child. Meanwhile, Fonny is arrested for a rape that he didn't commit and the wheels of justice grind by slowly as Tish does everything in her power to get her baby's father out of jail.

Regina King portrays Tish's supportive mother and she gives a fantastic performance in her role as Sharon Rivers. Af-

Dear Alma, I interviewed for a nursing position at a large hospital in my hometown. The job involves working long hours and I have more than ten years of experience. After I was chosen I received a phone call to come in and sign the offer letter. The Director of Human Relations explained that the vacation time was negotiable. The offer gave me two weeks’ vacation after 90 days, but I asked for three

ter Tish breaks the news to her family, they decide to break the news to Fonny's family, who are longtime family friends with the Rivers family. Things don't go well when Mrs. Hunt, Fonny's holy-roller mother, blames Tish for the demise of her son. However, the two fathers, played by Colman Domingo and Michael Beach, work together in order to get both of their children what they need to survive.

There is a real dynamic between the entire cast that keeps the film interesting.

However, it is an extremely sad movie that leaves you feeling more frustrated than angry.

If Beale Street Could Talk is rated R (for nudity) and has a run time just under 2 hours. It's a movie worth seeking out and on my "Hollywood Popcorn Scale" I rate it a JUMBO.

weeks because of my experience.

I recently started and when introduced to others, one of the nurses said, oh you’re the one who wants extra vacation.

Everyone sorta laughed it off, so I guess she was making a joke. Initially I didn’t understand, but later realized, the director must have been talking about me.

I find that to be totally unprofessional. Do you think I should leave the subject alone or bring it to her attention?

— Pissed in ER Dear P in ER, You have good reason to be pissed. Yes, it appears the director discussed certain tidbits

about your recent hire out of place. And yes, that is totally unprofessional. Can you prove it? I think not. Will the outspoken nurse speak on your behalf to the appropriate supervisor?

I think not again. So, no, you shouldn’t bring it to her attention, at this point just leave it alone. You have however read Miss HRD’s hold card, so place that in your back pocket.

You have ten years’ experience and whoo-hooo that’s a wonderful thing. It still doesn’t erase the fact you’re the new kid on the block. You haven’t had time to see who’s large and in charge, who’s lame and insane and who’s just offering a hot cup of common sense.

become best friends with the HR director. I doubt if you’ll run into her often. When you think about it, really, she’s a very small lily pad in a very large pond.

Take in your first 90 days learning all that you can about this new facility and being thankful for your amazing opportunity. The nursing profession is filled with unsung heroes.

We couldn’t thank you enough for the contributions that nurses and nursing have made to our community.

So hats off to you my sistah, and thanks from all of the readers and supporters of “Ask Alma” from the bottom of our hearts.

B. Smith her given name is Barbara Elaine Smith, known as B. Smith, is an American restaurateur. My adoration goes far back for B. Smith, now in her 60’s and suffering for Alzheimer’s disease her life is quite different.

Living quietly and well taken care by her husband Dan Gasby. To me she is the ideal living legend for me to share about. She has inspired many women across the globe. B. Smith was the second black model to be on the cover of Mademoiselle Magazine in 1976, after Joli Jones was featured on the cover in 1969.

B. Smith authored three books concentrating on recipes and presentation: B. Smith’s Entertaining and Cooking for Friends (1995), B. Smith’s Rituals and Celebrations (1999), and B. Smith Cooks Southern Style (2009). I list her accolades very effortlessly yet keep in mind the years B. Smith was making her strides, women and African American women especially were still [and are] being held back in society. As she was being lauded as a bestselling author, Smith owned multiple restaurants, called B. Smith; the first opened in 1986, on Restaurant Row (Manhattan) and in Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York. She also owned a restaurant in the historic Beaux-Arts Union Station in Washington, D.C. Today, as she lives her life in a quiet manner, being doted over by her loving husband Dan Gasby, a television producer they continue to be a quite force. Smith and her husband released Before I Forget in early 2016, detailing their journey following her diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Dan Gasby is working to honor his wife and her wishes with his efforts to bring an assisted living

facility to the South Fork area that will serve people with Alzheimer’s and other memory-related diseases.

Gasby said he is collaborating with Maplewood Senior Living, a Connecticut-based company, He said he wants to include elements that reflect the tastes of his wife.

In the prime of her public and personal life B. Smith hosted a syndicated television show, B. Smith With Style on TV. Her show was ground-breaking, first for a woman of color to host her own lifestyle show.

This was the era of Martha Stewart dominance and B. Smith did not look like Martha Stewart, making it a challenge that she had to find her audience. She did find her audience and the show was a cultural and ratings success.

The greatness and uniqueness about her show B. Smith With Style is that she welcomed a variety of guests who added to her love of all things in life, from haberdashers (B. Smith loved hats) to great food and the beauty of home.

B. Smith a seasoned culinary and lifestyle expert, hostess/chef/entertainer demonstrated the tricks of her trade, from entertaining guests to cooking delicious meals for two. The show’s guests were the top celebrities of the day. Appearances from Danny Glover, Sally Jesse Raphael to features of learning to make Gumbo.

We at the Valder Beebe Show salute B. Smith. I am still inspired by her accomplishments, her fortitude, her love for her husband Dan Gasby and B’s love of the beauty of life. B. Smith is and was a style icon, a domestic maven and a woman of grace, beauty and a glass ceiling breaker.

She will allways be an inspiration to me as I guide my endeavors of the Valder Beebe Show to success.

TEXAS METRO NEWS - JANUARY 23, 2019

My Truth,

14

continued from front page

I love to tell the story of the elderly woman who walked into my doctor’s office. She was a new patient and as I overheard her giving the receptionist her age, I marveled at how good she looked. She was impeccably dressed. Her hair was beautiful and she had a dip in her hip and a glide in her stride.

My mouth almost dropped to the floor however, as I continued to observe her, thinking about how when I was in my 70s and 80s I hoped I had it together, like she did.

The receptionist asked her if she had brought her medications, since this was her first visit. The woman said yes, opened her designer purse and pulled out a large Ziploc bag full of pills and capsules!

Clearly all that glitters is not gold and definitely you have to look past the outside to really evaluate a person. We know that beauty is only skin deep.

At that moment, I thought that it was a blessing that she was still alive.

I feel blessed to wake up every day and share in this experience we call life. For me it’s about more than existing. It’s about enjoying this ride; getting and giving the most I can.

It’s about when it’s time to say those last goodbyes, I’ll have used up every bit of wisdom, love, compassion, In essence, I don’t want to leave anything on the table.

Instead I want to do like the purpose of the Healthy Living Expo, be strong financially, physically, mentally, spiritually, holistically and socially. I want to, paraphrasing Paul Quinn College’s President Dr. Michael Sorrell,

TEXAS METRO NEWS - JANUARY 23, 2019

“leave a place better.”

Living life to its fullest, lifting as I climb and taking advantage of the gift is so

important.

So on January 21st, as we celebrated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; we gathered at the African American Museum, under the stewardship of Dr. Harry Robinson and his dynamic team and folks were educated, enlightened, inspired and entertained. What a beautiful way to spend the day.

I worked with a dynamic group of men and women who were focused on making this world a better place through their contributions. There are not enough words to describe their selfless sense of service that is of benefit to society every day of their lives.

I know they are tired. They worked like they were being paid, but not really because they are not motivated by dollar bill.

Again I am blessed because I get tow work side by side as we execute some monumental tasks, and sometimes with limited resources.

The Realizing the Dream Healthy Living Expo was an eventful the entire family and when we look past many of the societal ills we face; we need to be bringing families together every chance we get!

Check out some of the pictures from the event. Also look at social media. I’d like to think that Dr. King would have been

Butterfly I emerge from this darkness changed.

Leaving behind so much of what was me; whole but with missing parts.

Pushing myself through a realization that does not include you, physically.

Your transformation complete.

Mine ... only beginning.

pleased to see a productive, progressive and diverse environment where the issues effecting us all could be addressed in a positive manner.

So what is the result, what good came out of it?

Well there was relationship building, screenings, solutions and more.

Each step should be celebrated instead of criticized. We’re moving forward. Won’t you come with us?

Stay tuned, we plan to be back in 2020. Actually before we started planning, folks were demanding that we do!

Takes the bite out of the tired feet and aching joints!
