Life Lately

A fun and full weekend as Karis played a lion and a dancing steak (so well done! 🥁) in Madagascar the Musical,

with big sis acting as assistant to the director and makeup artist.

The best youth performance of a steak that I’ve ever seen and I’m not even bragging when I say that.

Kembe walked past an elderly woman on the way home from school yesterday. She startled and yelled “Oh my! A black man!” And then calmed herself and handed him a tract. Excellent witnessing tools, ma’am! #jesuslives #sodoesracism #in1978godchangedhismindaboutblackpeople

8th grade graduation. A strong 3 inches of bangs floating above my head. I believe I was voted “best hair” this year so I was clearly being enabled. Why were we like this?? *Also had just sung Friends Are Friends Forever as special music. #80sbangs #TBT

For those of you who have heard our most recent @SelfiePodcast . . . my co-host Roo is finally able to share what she has been working on for the past few months. We had to talk around it as certain court cases were being worked out but this doc tells the story. I’m glad you guys get to know this side of her. She’s a legit badass. You can listen to her talk about it here: https://podlink.to/selfiepodcast

It’s always heartening for me to learn of businesses that are tailoring services to meet the needs of adoptive and foster families specifically, so when True Advisory Group reached out to me, the story of their principal caught my attention. Last year Greg Bianco became the sudden foster father to five children, age 7 and under. He spent 10+ years in financial services, and since the kids came home, his business life has transformed just as much as his personal life. He is keenly aware that so many fellow foster/adoptive parents feel confused and overwhelmed with handling financial planning on top of the dynamics of a changing family. This compelled him to turn his professional career into a mission-driven one: to help others that are in a similar situation. He turned his attention to working with foster/adoptive families that could use some assistance in taking a holistic approach to their financial world. True Advisory Group’s mission is to be a business that “transforms the lives of people and businesses” with a focus on providing purpose-driven advice. Greg Bianco and his team bring expertise in the tax industry and a passion for helping families that will provide parents with the knowledge and tools they need to transition as their families transition.
