In 2020, I was inspired by the young son of one of my friends to write a fun kids story. Her son, Amir Bruce Shabazz, created four ice cream characters (The Ice Cream Gang) that he sold on t-shirts. I wrote this story for his birthday 馃巶 that year.
In 1993, I attended a job fair for private schools in lower Manhattan. I walked past the Twin Towers on my way to the subway. Soon afterwards, a bomb exploded. I didn't know how close I came to being a victim until I arrived back home in Queens.
After a long hiatus, I'm pleased to share my latest blog post. It's based on a true happening in my life recently. I hope it inspires people to uplift family, friends, and strangers.
