This is an Instagram message to LeBron James on behalf of my eldest son AJ….Take a look inside of a Mother’s heart: Listen to “A Mother’s Cry”…”Thanks for sharing!! You’ve inspired my now 20 year old who met you on a Chicago field trip in elementary school via Principal Armor. You selected a few excelling students to have a small group chat with out of the crowd & AJ promotes you fearlessly not matter what even when it seems the odds are stacked against you. You’re His greatest inspiration… Hoping that he soon realizes and never forgets why you appreciate your single mother’s sacrifices (I’m divorced). Please reach out to my basketball star…AJ is great like you. He’s home from college and needs another pep talk & dealing with a lot as my eldest of three sons with my having a few financial struggles while I continue my youth work to keep them safe and alive. I asked Him to do a fundraising basketball camp for my youth program @CHIME4PEACE and was surprised at His level of confidence about it. I need Him to help where help is needed and this will help us too.  His dreams matched yours exactly growing up for years but not sure what’s up with His former go-getta attitude now. Trying to keep possession of my property in Bronzeville for my youth and my sons. He would love to see you again.”

My sons have been blessed to be able to attend camps, park district programs, free field trips and many other youth events due to my work on n the community. I set the example for my three sons and expect that they will follow it. As they choose their own individual career paths, my prayer and expectation is that they never forget what it took to keep them active in the community and you involved in positive activities… Te amo
