Today’s Marvelous Motivating Monday celebrates AKA Kamala Devi Harris.  This is a two-part episode that talks about Kamala at the beginning of her life before politics.  Part 2 focuses on politics and the coronavirus.  I want people to know the person.  We focus on who she is, not what she is or is about to become.  I thought Mariah Carey’s song HERO was appropriate to start the episode.  Whether you like her or not, she is seen as a hero in many people’s eyes, from all backgrounds.  She is also inspiring to many young girls and grown women of all races and political affiliation.  We talk about her Indian and Jamaican roots, as well as being a black little girl in America.  Her childhood friends share their experience as her friends.  One was quoted as saying “she did the work, there was nothing given to her.”  I love why she was given her name.  Her mother chose Kamala’s name as a nod both to her Indian roots—Kamala means “lotus” and is another name for the Hindu goddess Lakshmi—and the empowerment of women.  “A culture that worships goddesses produces strong women,” Gopalan told the Los Angeles Times in 2004.  Multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-religious, she is the example of what America is about.  I hope you enjoy the narratives, which explains what episodes are about, as well as the graphic attached to each episode, which I diligently search for to match each episode.

This Fantastic Fellas Friday, we celebrate community activist and Pennsylvania State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta.  Pennsylvania is now said to be the state that will decide who the next United States President will be.  Unfortunately, the Republicans in the state legislature tried to quietly create and control a new election “integrity” committee giving them power to investigate the November 3, 2020 election and empower them to subpoena witnesses a/k/a voters and documents and initiate legal filings.  Integrity is defined as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness and the state of being whole and undivided.  It does not sound like the name of their committee fits their intent.  Busted by Representative Kenyatta, Republicans are exposed for trying to steal the election for Donald Trump.  Representative Kenyatta not only goes on MSNBC Rachel Maddow to expose this, but he defends his position in a heated legislature meeting.  Upset that he is speaking the truth, the chairman tries, unsuccessfully, to have him removed from the chamber by security.  We also reveal in Pennsylvania the issues with the mail-in ballot battle between both parties and how not using the required double envelope can disqualify your vote.  I hope you enjoy the narratives, which explains what episodes are about, as well as the graphic attached to each episode, which I diligently search for to match each episode.

(WE'RE SWITCHING TO FANTASTIC FELLAS FRIDAYS OCTOBER 2, 2020) This LAST Men Monday is about how Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, amongst other things, is putting his money where his mouth is.  His dedication against discrimination in the Jewish and African-American communities and his dedication of supporting his black players amidst the injustice happening in America, shows how working together for the better good benefits everyone.  He talks about the formation of Reform Alliance with Meek Mill, Jay-Z, Michael Rubin and others.  He's the recipient of the 2019 Genesis Prize dubbed as Jewish Nobel by Time Magazine, which honors extraordinary individuals for outstanding professional achievement, contribution to humanity, and commitment to Jewish values.  I mention and still pray for my hometown, Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill area because on October 27, 2018 a mass shooting occurred at The Tree of Life, where 11 people died, all because of hateful, discriminatory beliefs.  Let's come together to make positive change.  Remember Mr. Kraft said, legislation and policies make change!  This is why VOTING is so important.  Please register and then go out and VOTE.  I hope you enjoy the narratives, which explains what episodes are about, as well as the graphic attached to each episode, which I diligently search for to match each episode.
