The Daughters Of Campaign

By: Girl Trek




“I'm Wonderful! Just keep - the f*ck - saying it!” 
 ~Nikki Giovanni


Hey Dearies,

Whew chile the #GirlTrek #DaughtersOf campaign is in full swing and I'm an episode behind. Today I watched the first installment with Angela Davis & Nikki Giovanni and all I could do was throw up my hands to sweet baby Jesus. Auntie Nikki was on a roll 🙆🏽‍♀️ and Auntie Angela still has that 🔥. I also found it very endearing how excited Morgan and Vanessa were to be talking to their Shero's! Their excitement was palpable and made me just as giddy as they were. 😂

𝐖𝐡𝐨: #GirkTrek is a health and radical-care movement created by Morgan Dixon and Vanessa Garrison for black women and children, check out their powerful TED Talks.

Who am I the Daughter of...


I am 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞, Daughter of 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐚𝐲, Daughter of 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, Daughter of 𝐁𝐞𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞. The lessons I have learned from my mom and maternal grandmother are those of resilience... regardless of the obstacle! Whether it's paying and negotiating bills, making a full meal out of very little and seemingly unmatched ingredients, or standing up for what I believe. My mother(s) have taught me to find a way to PUSH ALL THE WAY THROUGH, every time.

MAKE YOUR BED – LITTLE THINGS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE…AND MAYBE THE WORLD  By: Admiral William H. McRaven  (U.S. Navy Retired) Quoted from Make Your Bed...Ch. 1 - Start Your Day with a Task Completed, p. 9 “Nothing can replace the strength and comfort of one’s faith, but sometimes the simple act of making your bed can give you the lift you need to start your day and provide you the satisfaction to end it right.” Admiral McRaven and President Barack Obama, www.usatoday.com 1.) What was the book about? This is a self-help, encouraging, pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of book that is also compassionate. Told by the author using stories of his training as a SEAL recruit, juxtaposed with stories of his time in command and how he dealt with different scenarios. Those who do not know of the author, his military prowess, and significant historic missions - most notably leading the SEAL team that took down the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein - will be pleasantly taken in by

YEAR OF YES: HOW TO DANCE IT OUT, STAND IN THE SUN AND BE YOUR OWN PERSON  By: Shonda Rhimes Quoted from Year of Yes… Ch. 1 “That’s when she says it. The six words.   Mutters them. Almost under her breath.   As she finishes chopping the onions.   Six startling words.  You Never Say Yes to Anything.” Shonda Rhimes on the Jimmy Kimmel Show https//pmcvariety.files.wordpress.com 1.) What was the book about? The Year of Yes is a detailed, albeit entertaining account of the year acclaimed writer and producer Shonda Rhimes embarked on a life changing shift on her outlook on life. It all started on Thanksgiving Day 2013 as she and her sister Delorse prepared dinner, it was their turn to handle the turkey day feast. As they discussed yet another event Shonda intended to decline to attend, Delorse absently muttered, “you never say yes to anything.” With that ‘grenade’ thrown into the room, Shonda was set into a mental spiral forcing her to self-evaluate her ways as a self-
