"ODE TO PARENTS"

I missed the training this morning!  How did I do that?  Really.   How does the facilitator of the training miss the training! 

I’m checking Iman’s hot temp as I get the call from my cool, but deliberate colleague:  Valarie, where are you?   
Me: Pardon me?
(I listen, listen, listen)  Arrrgggh! 


That was hours ago and my mental butt is still sore from the hundred times I’ve kicked it since then. I take my work seriously and a misstep of this magnitude was pretty devastating particularly because this was a training, Misconceptions About Black Parents,  this school “wanted” to talk about (collective hand clap), I’ve got lots of expertise in this area
J, AND I work for an organization that walks, talks, and breathes such subjects all the time. 

However I am saved (crowd wildly applauds). They’re willing to reschedule and I get to take a moment and share what I wanted to share this morning and that is:

There are some fantastic parents out there holding up this world by simply loving, blessing, educating and fiercely protecting their babies.  This is no small feat in our “#blacklives versus #allives matter” society.

You are courageous
You are beautiful
You are strong
If you were a celebrity you would be on the cover of Ebony
If you were in the military you would be awarded a gold star
If you were a writer, you’d win the Pulitzer
If you were an artist they’d place you right beside Romare Bearden
But you are a PARENT, raising God’s most precious creation, and because of this you are a partner in His Kingdom!

Wisdom:
You have the most important job on the planet, delivering a black child safely to an uncertain and doubtful world where their worth, beauty and abilities will be challenged, and you’re ROCKING it. Go on with your bad self!

I actually saw Seventh-Heaven when we died: you couldn't GET any moe curly, party-hardy-endorphins, extravagantly-surplus-lush Upstairs when my beautifull, brilliant, bombastic girl passed-away due to those wry, sardonic satires.

"Those who are wise will shine as brightly as the expanse of the Heavens, and those who have instructed many in uprightousness as bright as stars for all eternity" -Daniel 12:3

Here's also what the prolific, exquisite GODy sed: 'the more you shall honor Me, the more I shall bless you' -the Infant Jesus of Prague.

Go git'm, girl. You're incredible. See you Upstairs. I won't be joining'm in the nasty Abyss where Isis prowls
