Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson, Associate Justice-Designate of the United States Supreme Court 2022 

Congratulations Judge Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson, associate justice-designate of the United  States Supreme Court by Op-Ed Author Dr. Charles L. Singleton. Yes, “Everything has its own  genesis.” Following the U. S. Senate confirmation, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historical nomination  in 2022 to the U. S. Supreme Court is monumentally important and timely as we continue living in America. The White House, WH. Gov at: Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court |  The White House The Supreme Court cases, October term 2022-2023 are as follows: https://ballotpedia.org/Supreme Court cases, October term 2022-2023 

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, as you serve on the U. S. Supreme Court, please remember this story, “The Parable of the Pencil.” The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting the pencil into the  box. "There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world.  Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be." 1. “You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand.” 2. “You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.” 3. “You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.” 4. “The most important part of you will always be what's inside.” 5. “On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition you must continue to write.” The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart. --- Go-your-own-way.

Ketanji Brown Jackson's Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (AKA) sorority sister Aliyah Johnson is optimistic about her upcoming chiropractic career, and the U. S. Supreme Court's fair and timely decisions concerning "We the people of the United States of America." The healthy knowledge that Aliyah demonstrates and explains in her YouTube video is judgmentally sound, without political bias.

Hopefully, Supreme Court Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson's judicial deliberations and decisions will make all Americans feel better as we live daily. ---The Johnson Family Journal Newsletter, Volume 1, Issue 4, March 1, 2022.

BLACK CULTURE MEETS ASIAN CULTURE IN NEW BOOK BY CAMEROONIAN WIFE, MOM OF 3

What does Black Asian solidarity mean? Africa Yoon, the Cameroonian American author of a memoir entitled The Korean, says it looks like telling stories of when we get along too. Including a story of an A-list Korean American actor showing her memoir support.

It was two days before her book launch and she got a major supporter “I had been working pretty hard and stopped to rest, then mid-day Saturday; I got a notification that Actor and Ambassador Daniel Dae Kim, a member of the White House AAPI Advisory Committee and fellow Hawaiian, mentioned me in a viral post on Instagram. “What he did sent a ripple that helped my book launch in a strong way and it is far more important than he and I. Seeing an Asian icon supporting a Black woman in her efforts to succeed is course-changing. When we ask for our lives to matter you see it’s actually in those moments.”

 What do you do when you are in the middle of a pandemic, and your 20-year-old daughter asks you to host a talk show with her? "You do it," said Deanna Johnson Cauthen, producer and co-host of a new television show and YouTube channel called The Elevate Talk Show.

When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Deanna, her daughter and co-host Adrianna, and Deanna's husband, Andrew, all suddenly found themselves working from home. “Initially, we thought that the pandemic would be short-lived and that our lives would quickly return to normal, but that was not the case,” said Deanna.

HAIR LOSS, SPIRITUAL GAIN: NEW FILM CAPTURES BLACK WOMAN’S ALOPECIA STRUGGLE AND JOURNEY OF SELF-LOVE


Mere hours after violence erupted on stage at the 2022 Oscars ceremony – veteran actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock over a joke Rock had made about Smith’s wife rocking a shaved head – Candace Christina found herself flooded with emotions. And it had nothing to do with two rich celebrities butting heads in front of the world. The verbal jab in question was close to her. It was personal.

You see, barely a couple of hours before, Christina had boldly, unapologetically, and with royal fanfare unveiled her own bald head for the first time ever to her dearest friends and closest family members at an exclusive, invitation-only affair that she’d planned in her hometown of Atlanta. Like Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, Christina had recently learned that she too suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss, with it often falling out in large clumps. Only in Christina’s case, a dermatologist suggested that hers was brought on by about with Covid-19 that landed her in the hospital in the summer of 2021.
