I know what you're already thinking about this title. However, a Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce CHAMBERETTE was an official hostess for City events thru the Chamber. I was on the board for roughly 6 years and loved it while I was in it. Forty years have come and gone but I still have fond memories of all the things we did as a group.

Like many of our Community - Black and White the world over we will spend this week in mourning  Chadwick Boseman as if we KNEW him but there are three things to also take note of about how he lived and died.

1) He was diagnosed in 2016 - before he made his landmark movie. He underwent treatments, surgery and continued to "cover up" his sickness. He never allowed it to "overtake" him.

2) Hollywood is a very particular community. If you let one hint of illness show, you run the risk of being "passed over for jobs", agents might leave, leading to divulging your secret, so you keep it hidden.

3) And finally you work until EVERYTHING is done that you can possibly afford to do. Had it not been for COVID-19, he may have continued his treatments and worked one last project, but it was not meant to be.

Word of the day: Perspicacity - the quality of having a ready insight into things; Shrewdness. Yes - it takes a certain type pf person or business to grow a city. West Montgomery needs that kind of person. If you have ever driven to, through, or around Montgomery you have been privy to one of our "Blue Light Specials" - a Police Car with a ticket with your name on it.

At what point do we get past the time of our self-imposed quarantine if people continue to go to bars, go to pageants without proper protection and basically ignoring the rules for Social Distancing? The University of Alabama's Tuscaloosa Bars are all on lockdown after 500 were diagnosed with COVID-19! Its so much better to be safe now, than sorry later. I watch Chinese and Korean Drams every day after I make my runs and get back in safely. Its fun because I am learning a smattering of both languages to the point I understood a small Korean girl ask her mother, "Why not?" I know its not much but for me, that's huge! Remembering the words of Rodney King after the most recent shooting, "Why can't we all just get along?" True - staying locked away from our friends and families is no fun but until this virus stops reinventing itself and we get a vaccine, we will never get rid of it at the rate we're going. We will never find common ground for hearing and understanding what we all need to survive as an "Earthly Family" until we HEAR each other.

My daughter and I are HUGE fans of BTS and their amazing group! She introduced me to it first and then to her brother, so my opening music (which I do not own the rights to) is an excerpt from their latest album's "B-side" of DYNAMITE!  Lately the biggest thing going are VIRTUAL Pageants. With that in mind, I have gone over a few tips to enhance your Virtual Pageant Competition! Enjoy!

About 30 years ago I was a victim of Domestic Violence. I survived because I refused to be a victim and I refused to allow the person to control me, who I was as a person or determine the outcome of my life or theirs. The pandemic has seen a rise in domestic violence of more than 35% because women, children, families, are trapped at home with their abusers. YOU can get help. YOU can get out. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline today... 1-800-799-7233

This week's message focuses on two HBCUs that have been rivals for ages in Central Alabama and my experiences with one of them. Destiny has a way of brushing by us at the oddest moments, never allowing you to realize how important it will become in the future.

International Foods, Dragon Boat races,  Museums and more... This is the State Capitol of Alabama! I have seen it grow and be reborn over the years as the "Tourist Center" of the South, winning numerous awards for tourism and special events. This city has never been a "silent place" because it is surrounded by so much history and activity. Sitting on the banks of the Alabama River guarantees that. Come visit when you get a chance and COVID has flown the coup!

Montgomery the City, has been undergoing several physical changes lately. Thanks to possibly some decisions made during the last administration, funding available from resources like tourism and government grants at the National, State and local levels... new lighting and road paving can be completed. It would be wonderful if that progress could be extended beyond "the circle".

I am so happy to share a "Moment in Time" with you all because I made this quarter's edition of PAGEANTRY MAGAZINE! My goal this title season is to P-R-O-M-O-T-E my endeavors on behalf of my State program, ALABAMA Sr. America! I have established my PODCAST, a separate Facebook page, Twitter account, Youtube channel, Instagram page - that all feature information about my title run to SENIOR AMERICA. If you are a local, State or National Titleholder, you owe it to your pageant, your personal cause and yourself to establish a "Media Presence" and R-E-P-R-E-S-E-N-T!
