Sunshine & Rainbows

Kamala Harris’s performance on the debate stage was powerful. With a firm handshake signaling confidence and authority, she set the tone for an unforgettable show. It was clear from the start she was there to make a statement. Harris dominated the debate, with commanding presence, sharp arguments, and articulate responses. She tackled critical issues like healthcare, Roe v. Wade, fracking, and economic reform with clarity and confidence, showcasing her deep understanding and clear vision for the future. If this were a comedy special, the audience would be rolling and asking for an encore! Trump went off the rails, referencing Springfield, Ohio, with, ‘They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there!’ Harris, probably thinking ‘Seriously?’ She laughed off the outrageous claims, calling him ‘extreme,’ and, like only a polished prosecutor could, reminded him that 81 million people had already given him the boot. She left him "sh

To all my dreamers and believers,  I’m done with all the noise and doubt! I’m on that God-given grind, pushing past every obstacle that tried to hold me down, pull me back, and throw me off track. I remember when it felt like I was shackled by fear and surrounded by a cloud of doubt, but soon realized it was just deception trying to keep me from my destiny.  Now see me - - empowered, enlightened, and driven by purpose! I’ll keep moving forward and keep believing because God has amazing plans for me.  I’m a miracle in motion! I hold on to the promise God made to me, ‘It’s going to be alright’? I’m standing on that truth, pressing on, and staying in prayer. I’ve come too far to turn back now. God didn’t bring me this far just to leave me. I’ll stay the course, stay faithful, and watch Him work it out. I’ll keep walking in my purpose because with God on my side, I’m truly unstoppable.  So, are you ready to chill your doubts and let your purpose shine bright? დ A touch of love from, Sunshi

  The Democratic National Convention has always been a spectacle of passion, unity, and hope, but this year’s event stands out as the best in our nation's history. The best in my lifetime. Every night has been electrifying, brimming with powerful speeches and inspiring moments that remind us why we love this country. From the very start, the energy has been dynamic. The speakers have rallied our spirits and celebrated our shared values. This convention has showcased the diversity that makes our nation great and the common purpose that binds us together. The sense of joy has been overwhelming. Stevie Wonder’s iconic song "Higher Ground" has been the perfect anthem for this convention, reflecting our resolve to move forward, not backward. The song’s message of perseverance and progress encapsulates the spirit of this gathering: we are not just aiming for the past but pushing toward a brighter future. Tim Walz’s acceptance of the nomination has been a highlight, energizing u

  Michelle, Michelle, Michelle Obama—last night she truly fired it up at the DNC!  She stepped onto the stage wearing a stunning ensemble that perfectly complemented the power of her message.  Her words resonated deeply, inspiring countless individuals who have dedicated themselves to the cause. Reflecting on her speech, I am reminded of how I poured my heart into the Barack Obama campaign—canvassing, phone banking, voter registration, fundraising, county meetings, convention and hosting house parties. I took on roles from foot soldier to Precinct Captain, Precinct Chair, Delegate, and Election Judge because I believed in the need for change. When President Joe Biden announced he wouldn’t seek reelection and endorsed Kamala Harris, a renewed intensity and determination to act was felt by many. We sprang into action immediately, working to raise the necessary funds and gather support to ensure her campaign had the momentum needed to succeed. Michelle's message was clear and urgent:

What a show-stopping kickoff the DNC delivered on Day 1—like fireworks lighting up a stormy sky, the speeches were powerful, unapologetic, and unforgettable. Jasmine Crockett's wake-up call hit hard: One candidate worked at McDonald’s while she was in college at an HBCU. The other was born with a silver spoon and helped his father in the family business—housing discrimination, Crockett pointed out. She became a career prosecutor, while he became a career criminal, with 34 felonies, two impeachments, and one porn star to prove it. Crockett reminded everyone, Kamala Harris has a résumé. Donald Trump has a rap sheet. "The question before us is, will a vindictive, vile villain violate voters’ vision for a better America or not?” She urged us to stay vigilant against those threatening our electoral process. Come on with it—Rep. Jim Clyburn’s words were a powerful beacon, letting us know that Project 2025 ain't nothing but “Jim Crow 2.0.” He invoked a timeless biblical reference

Quincy Wilson  In a world where comparison often takes center stage, it’s refreshing to witness someone who stays true to themselves, carving out their own unique path. Quincy Wilson, at just 16 years old, exemplifies this spirit in a way that’s nothing short of inspiring. As the youngest sprinter to ever win Olympic Gold, Quincy didn’t just outdo others—he raised the bar. Quincy’s journey is a powerful reminder that the only time we should try to outdo someone else is when we’re pushing ourselves to achieve our own best. Too often, we get caught up in the race to be better than others, forgetting that true greatness comes from within. Quincy understood this from a young age. He wasn’t focused on being better than anyone else; he was focused on being the best version of himself. His dedication, discipline, and commitment to staying in his lane—both literally and figuratively—allowed him to reach heights that most could only dream of. Quincy didn’t try to emulate anyone else. Instead, h
