Beth Perry reports that being overweight or obese could very well influence the development of Scleroderma: systemic sclerosis (SS), a connective tissue disease generated by fibrosis (enlargement and scarring) of connective tissue of the skin in humans. This group of scattered diseases (SS) is quite problematic; especially for the skin, blood vessels, and internal organs (lungs, kidneys, and the digestive track).  MUSC is a top-ranked biomedical institution.

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) biotechnology and molecular research team works hard every day to understand the smallest properties of living cells in order to discover better ways of treating various diseases.  The solving of difficult medical problems at the molecular level will greatly improve health, wellness, and longevity. Their outstanding work was presented at the American Physiological Society Conference, San Diego, California in April 2006. ---The Family Journal, USA & Overseas, Volume 1, Issue 24, 2006

DR. CYNTHIA J. HICKMAN, ALUMNUS WALDEN UNIVERSITY’S 66TH KEYNOTE COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Dr. Cynthia J. Hickman, an author, educator, caregiver advocate, and recent speaker on the Leadership Experience Tour with Shawn Fair, delivered Walden University’s 66th Commencement address on January 29, 2022. The celebration was an online event honoring Walden’s graduates and their milestone achievements.

Dr. Hickman is a two-time graduate of Walden University and has been an active alum and ambassador since graduating. As a social change agent, life-long learner, and daughter of a middle-school educator, giving back and sharing the importance of using her education for good was the highlight of her speech. She encouraged the graduates to “get into good trouble,” a quote by the late Representative John Lewis.

Pushing past the status quo requires one to “behold the turtle,” a concept of slow and steady as change eventually happens. Hickman stressed that sticking your head out is uncomfortable but necessary for change.

The significance of “a societal passion should fuel efforts to impact the community. Hickman shared her mother’s anthem, helpful and powerful words to live by: “She told my three sisters and me to help out when you can, in all the places you can, and in all the times you can, demonstrating the art of using ones’ education for good.”

"GIRL, DON'T PLAY! PRAY" — AUTHOR INA JOHNSON MYERS RELEASES BOOK THAT HELPS WOMEN RECOGNIZE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RED FLAGS

Ina Johnson Myers, a speaker and certified life coach who is also the author of Girl, Don't Play!!! Pray!!!! She is a 24-year retired Combat Veteran with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and a survivor of MST (Military Sexual Trauma). She is also the mother of 3 and grandmother of 6, and was raised in Gary Indiana by a father and mother duo of WWII veterans who also served our country in the 1940s.

Her book, Girl, Don't Play!!! Pray!!!!, was written to help mitigate some of the confusion, anxiety, and pain professional women endure who may be seeking to be in a lasting relationship or marriage.

She comments, "By sharing my own experiences and research throughout my life, I hope to equip them with the tools and knowledge to make wiser decisions on matters that will devastatingly affect their spiritual, personal, and family life, their career, their moral compass, as well as their finances. In sharing my experiences with toxic relationships and the pains of depression, suicidal thoughts, devaluation, and humiliation endured as the result, I hoped to help other professional women be cognizant of who they allow to sit at their table and not ignore the red flags they see and hear in their search for that perfect partner."
