The 10th Annual Alsobrooks Family BBQ was energizing for sure! My mom favors our next U.S. Senator Angela Alsobrooks tremendously. Winning is a habit we choose never to quit!

Confidence doesn't always come from believing in yourself today. It often stems from recalling the obstacles you overcame yesterday. A history of resilience can silence self-doubt. Challenges conquered are clues to hidden strengths. Past progress is proof of future potential. - Adam Grant

Wow! What a retirement celebration… amazing time honoring my friend Tenique’s 34 years of excellent service in the U.S. Airforce. Our dynamic keynote speaker shared this quote: “The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I want to be. Because of all I may become, I will close my eyes and leap.” In the Airforce, their standards are: • Integrity First • Service before self • Excellence in all we do Super powerful! They surely ignited a moment of regret that I didn’t pursue my military aspirations. Nevertheless, I’m certainly elated that my friend did and successfully completed that chapter of her journey. The mission continues. Tenique we certainly honor you and thank you for your service. #retirement #service #military #airforce

Only 21% of U.S. employees strongly agree that they trust the leadership of their organization. Cultivating a culture of trust in the workplace may present its challenges. Trust has proven to be an essential component of high performing teams.   One action many organizations may not attribute the erosion of trust to the perpetual practice of canceling and/or rescheduling events and meetings. This process of announcing an event and thereafter striking the event has several negative consequences. Frequent cancellations can signal a lack of respect for others’ planning, priorities and time, demotivation of team members and eroding of trust.   Prior to scheduling your next meeting check for conflicting events or priorities to ensure the timing of this meeting is suitable for all invited. 

Today is the first day of Black History Month, where we celebrate many of the notable accomplishments and people who have called our country home. However, we tend to focus on the past and not the present when we highlight these illustrious individuals, so we'll shake things up a bit and highlight someone noteworthy, who is still making history as a trailblazer. That person is our current County Executive of Prince George's County, Maryland, Angela Alsobrooks. Here are a few of her political accomplishments: 1. First female County Executive, Prince George's County 2. First female State's Attorney, Prince George's County 3. Prince George's County's First Full-time Domestic Violence Prosecutor A lifelong Marylander, Angela was born and raised in Prince George’s County. Angela was taught from a young age to care for her neighbors and give back to her community – urged on by the words of her great-grandmother not to sit on the sidelines but “go farther and do better.” Angela heard an early calling to public service and after graduating from Duke University and the University of Maryland School of Law, she worked as a law clerk in the Howard County Circuit Court, and later the Baltimore City Circuit Court, before becoming the first full-time Assistant State’s Attorney to handle domestic violence cases in Prince George’s County. Angela held a variety of roles in county government before making history as the youngest and first woman to be elected Prince George’s County State’s Attorney. As the county’s top law enforcement officer, Angela stood up for families, taking on some of Maryland’s worst criminals, while treating victims and the accused with dignity and respect. Under her tenure, violent crime dropped by 50 percent and she established a first-of-its-kind unit to investigate and prosecute police and official misconduct.

Thank you Maria D. James, M.S. for the invitation to the 12th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast. It was inspiring, uplifting and certainly forward moving. The Guest Speaker, Rev. Dillard asked “When did we become so selfish?” This inquiry coupled with highlighting the mission and vision of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. compelled all in attendance to consider "Life's most persistent and urgent question, 'What are you doing for others?'" As we embark upon one of the best years of our lives… remain others minded. The world needs your supply.
