Wednesday's WORD OF WISDOM

“When you educate a man, you educate an individual, but when you educate a woman, you educate a nation.” - Johnnetta B. Cole

Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole (born October 19, 1936) is an American academic. Cole was the first African American female president of Spelman College from 1987- 1997.

…and I kinda dig her because one might say that I’ve met her a time or two. I’m just sayin’…

AUTHENTIC get the hump out ‘cha back. Get educated. For yourself. For a nation. GET AUTHENTIC.
