Zach, the last one

Lilly and ZachLilly & Zach

I think I baby sat for Sister Whitlock since 2009. I just graduated from college and started working with children in my neighborhood and at the church. During the convocation that year and for the next seven years I had fun taking her children all over the city every time they visited New York. Now her baby, Zach is as a big boy. He’s in the second grade!  He is the only one who ask me if I can take him out.  All her kids grew up. I did too. Now, I get paid to do what I did for free and it’s not as fun.

Planting Flowers

This year spring, my sister, April, lead her own volunteer project. She planted flowers in front of our church and watered them weekly. It seems so long ago now that it’s November.

In the photo are Brothers Fakeem and Washington.

My best friend Ashley and her family came up from Memphis to New York for the 51st Holy Convocation. It was my first time meeting her little brother Ardas.

We are at a street fair in New York. Her lovely mother is smiling in the middle.
