I want to say Thank you for supporting the Queens project to Crystal Singleton Patton. You will help me tell the stories of women like Mary Jane McLeod Bethune who was an educator and civil rights leader. She was one of seventeen children and the only one in her family to attend school, so each day, she taught the others what she had learned. Bethune wrote later, “I considered cash money as the smallest part of my resources. I had faith in a loving God, faith in myself, and a desire to serve.”
For .99 cents, you can get a Amazon Kindle copy of this book today. When You Forget Your Phone is a devotional that challenges you to memorize God’s word. If you know God’s word, it is easier to stand on His promises when your world is turbulent.
The fifteen verses included in this devotional are verses that God has spoken in the life of the author over the last year. This book will give some insight into her journey with the Lord.
I want to say Thank you for supporting the Queens project to Marsha Bolden. You will help me tell the stories of women like Shirley Chisholm who was the first African American woman to be elected to Congress. Even though she was born in the U.S. her mother sent her to Barbados for her early education. She said “Years later I would know what an important gift my parents had given me by seeing to it that I had my early education in the strict, traditional, British-style schools of Barbados. If I speak and write easily now, that early education is the main reason.”
My life has been blessed with some amazing women who have shape who I am. I have also been influenced by the stories I have read about women who carved their own niche in this world. Help me celebrate by supporting my project, Queens of Freedom.
