Growth and progressive change is a process that continues.
The little things matter. Keep up the small habits. Enough of the little things and small habits will accumulate big things and grand habits for a GREAT OUTCOME!
Good things can not stop but must continue. Yes, you will get tired and you may get bored but you must KEEP PUSHING. Hard work pays off.
As long as you are doing the right thing, there are battles to fight. The battles are to make you better and stronger. Be wise when choosing the battles. Some battles are best won by being quiet while other battles require your energy to fight. Resting is another element of wisdom with battles. However, the focus must remain on the war. You may lose some battles to win the war. Know when each strategy is necessary for the overall outcome, fighting the battles that matter.
Today’s position, your place at this moment in time, was acquired by winning battles.
Keep up the good fight of faith. Claim the VICTORY!!
In 2001, I received my BSW degree from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a double minor in Public Policy and African American Studies afterwards I entered the MSW program with Advanced Standing at Yeshiva University. In 2004, I received my Master's in Social Work degree and my PhD in Social Welfare in 2022 from Yeshiva University-Wurzweiler School of Social Work. The research study topic was "The Phenomenological Exploration of Academic Re-engagement for High School Completion" The qualitative method was used to examine students who leave high school before graduation and choose service-learning for high school completion.
Professionally, I have credentials as a School Social Worker, Supervision in Field Instruction (SIFI), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC) and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS).
My practice experience has been in the areas of substance abuse with/without medication assistance, mental health, and education/special education. Currently, I am a Program Coordinator, Adjunct Professor, and Community Advocate, Activist, and Organizer, Founder/Executive Director of Balm In Gilead Community Services, Inc, a non-profit organization in the City of Newark, and Chief Executive Officer of Making Connections Professional Services LLC.
My professional goal is to formulate and implement policy to address the systemic issues related to racism, poverty, education, violence, and health care. Also, advocate and articulate the negative effect of those issues to decision-makers for providing a better understanding of the impact/outcome of those decisions upon individuals, families, and communities that are underserved, under-resourced, marginalized, and disenfranchised. I am a member of the finest organization, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
