    COVID Crisis in our Community

     

    Singer, Jeremih (Update)

    Singer Jeremih is reportedly doing better since leaving the ICU this past weekend due to a COVID-19 related illness. A message confirmed by his DJ T. Taylor from a recent Instagram story post that states Jeremih was praising God for his recovery, and the information trended heavily on Twitter. We are glad he is a COVID-19 survivor. This COVID-19 Crisis is a wake-up call.

    On a previous blog post (https://www.ramellecartermedia.com/corona-virus-covid-19) back in March. For instance, I defined the COVID-19 dangers in a setting that gave a clear picture of the terror lurking our way. We all have a job not to be reckless. Specifically, stay healthy and mindful of our safety.

    Although many people of all class, size, economic background, and race can get ill from COVID, my focus today involves my people, which are 2.6x higher according to the CDC, to get the virus. https://www.cdc.gov;  my community is hit the hardest. Therefore, we really need to stick together and build wonderful groups around us with good, safe goals to help us really get back on the road to healing. COVID-19 is taking our people out, with young and old, being affected. Singer Jeremih is just one in a handful of African American celebrities to be victims of this virus.

    Also, the Black/Brown Community can not fall on our knees and wait for help. However, we need to call out any groups who lack responding and assisting in our recovery. African-Americans can no longer allow our families to sit down and die. Black Lives Matter must continue fighting against police brutality by marching the streets with masks and following all social distancing protocols.

    In other words, learn, read, and listen to our local elected officials while keeping your families safe. The changing times are above all filled with differences we all need to step up and maintain, think good thoughts, use time wisely, practice self-care, and whenever possible, do positive things around the house to keep spirits high. Moreover, call/text a loved one, friend, or special one to say, “How are you doing? Lastly, let’s shoutout those who tested positive and won.

    1. Idris Elba
    2. NBA Kevin Durant
    3. Kenny “Babyface” Edmunds
    4. NBA Patrick Ewing
    5. DL Hughley

  • Ladies, Love Your Body to the Bones

    I, along with the Susan G. Komen Foundation would like to end Breast Cancer. Therefore, this makes me determined to get the word out about anything and everything that will help women live healthy lifestyles or at least help in the cause. Let’s all start by imposing some information that has been handed to me by the Susan G. Komen Foundation. As a woman of color, the Know Your Girls campaign is just one cause that speaks volumes to why more women should get involved. Please visit the Know Your Girls website, click here https://ww5.komen.org

    In August of 2017, I went for my regular breast cancer screening since age 40, yes I turned 40 in 2011; everything went smooth, then a few days later I got a call. The test showed something that did not look good; I assured myself it was nothing because I touch myself (Ode to a song) quite often since finding out I have dense breasts, and sure enough the test results were negative.

    One of the first steps to combat breast cancer is to do self-examinations or annual check-ups by your doctor. I see my physician of three years now, Dr. Lina Shammas, who teaches me to take extra precaution for anything hard or things abnormal to the touch on my girls/breasts/boobs paying homage to the

    Know Your Girls initiative of Susan G. Komen Foundation

    Sweet Black History Month, We Salute Our Ancestors

    Here are five Quotes from Some of Our Great Family of Ancestors

    “I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being, first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”
    ― Malcolm X

    I think slavery is the next thing to hell. If a person would send another into bondage, he would, it appears to me, be bad enough to send him into hell if he could. _Harriet Tubman

     

    “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.”
    ― Martin Luther King Jr.

    I never hurt nobody but myself and that’s nobody’s business but my own.__Billie Holiday

     

    “I’m starting with the man in the mirror,
    I’m asking him to change his ways;
    And no message could have been any clearer,
    If you wanna make the world a better place,
    Take a look at yourself, and then make a change!”
    ― Michael Jackson
