Get Your Lesson is about the lessons that I have learned, experienced, or live everyday with idea that I should get something meaningful out of it. As I shared some of the lessons, I have learned I hope my Grandma’s words, wisdom and love permeate through me so that you will grow, ponder, think, and apply some of the lessons you have encountered. Get Your Lesson’s mission is to help others, inspire, motivate, cultivate, and live a life full of lessons that become legacy making.
Get Your Lesson Ep 12 My Head Should’ve Been In Washington!
My Head Should’ve Been In Washington! As I beam with pride on Inauguration Day 2021 when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take the oath of President and Vice President of the United States, I am reminded of a saying from my great grandfather about him being smart enough to be in Washington DC. Today, we discuss the Black Girl Magic of Vice President Kamala Harris and her historic accomplishment as the first Black and South Asian Woman to ever hold that office. My great grandfather knew one day we as a people would be in Washington DC! It’s a celebration of American History, Black History, and our history!
