Destiny’s Dilemma
An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

Affirmation
Today think of all of the things you know how to do. Write down all of them. Depending on how old you are the list may be pretty long. Don’t take anything for granted. And you know what? You are still learning. You are not done yet.
Remember. You are able. Tell yourself everyday.

Season Finale
The last show is a good show. Listen to what the Sistas have to say about it. What do they like? What do they hate? Is this show worth your time? Hmmm.
Listen Lupin
Affirmation
Madam CJ Walker was not born with a lot of opportunities. She was the first child her parents had that was born free of slavery. When both parents died she was young and was raised by her sister. But the woman born Sarah Breedlove was able.
Sarah married young and had a child. She was determined her daughter would have all of the things she never had. She started out doing the things she knew to do, but later learned new things. She was able.
A woman who grew up without parents, without a formal education, and all of the other things we are waiting on became very successful. She was able.
Tell yourself. You are able.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Book of the Quarter
This week we focus on business. In this section of the book we take a moment from when Zo is having a chat with her new friend Andrew. She is running her plans by him. Remember this is 1912.
“I gonna run by Mr. Sweet tomorrow an see if he will let me write for his paper.”
“His newspaper?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Girl, he won’t let no woman do that kind of work.”
“I have experience. I even have some bylines.”
Andrew sighed.
“You will be better going to clean someone’s house. I know this little family that can use someone.”
She looked at him like he had insulted her. He needed to know she as not some ordinary heifer. She was capable of much more.
“I don’t clean other people’s houses. I am an educated woman.”
