Props to Kuumba Consultants

Okie dokie. I read the whole "Let's Have Tea" Teacher's Resource Guide beginning with the part where Delores Jackson Radney of Kuumba Consultants was the lead in creating this resource guide. That excites me because she's been so active in the city, and our neighborhood, for many years providing a wide variety of artistic venues for the community (she has made the entertainment at the 19th Ward Square Fair - first Saturday in June - a highlight of the fair). It makes sense that she would be instrumental in this piece of art.

So now I know that there is a resource for taking this resource to a new level. I love it when a plan comes together. Now I can spend my time thinking about all of the things I learned reading through the guide and how they relate to my life in SouthWest Rochester over these 30+ years. And when I use some of the lessons, I'll write about them to let folks know what kind of impact they had, or didn't have. 'Cause it's a blog, for crying out loud; it doesn't need to be anything more than my thoughts and experiences.

So, in the interest of not being too long-winded, which I usually am, especially when I'm passionate about something, I will say goodnight and return tomorrow with more of my thoughts and/or experiences with building bridges and honoring opposing viewpoints.
