Breaking Generational Curses The majority of millennials have been known to “break generational curses.” Most people will think it’s limited to teen pregnancy, various types of addiction, and accepting help with mental health, but it’s not. It can be just simply choosing to not yell at your children in the morning if they overslept for the bus, because your mom did. Let me start of saying, our parents did the best they could with what they knew; at least mine did. Just to give a little perspective: Both of my parents are first-generation college students. My mom actually went to segregated schools until the second grade. My maternal grandmother dropped out of school in 8th grade to help her parents pick cotton. My...

Football :: A Huddle Of Blessings Since my son Maison could walk, he loved playing sports. His first sport was basketball, and he played his first game at 4 years old. His attention span went from dribbling the ball to running in the stands because he saw my brother and he wanted to sit by him.
