Folks are happy to see and feel Spring in the air! After a rough winter for some, there’s higher temps at the end of the tunnel. Meantime, the National Weather Service is already giving a heads-up on the hurricane season. They’re predicting “high levels of uncertainty” due to turbulent weather patterns, while noting a less-than-average number of storms might be expected.

So, as you start thinking about summer travel, even with the drama around TSA funding affecting airport lines, you can look-in on this issue for a sense of calm along with upbeat content. The Island Vibes column reminds us of our past, as seen through family history of NBA legend Chris Paul, and pop music star Lizzo. Visit the About page to learn more on how this portal of ‘Family Line Influencers’ came to be.

It’s hard to tell whether we’re “coming or going” as a country towards what’s being billed as ‘America 250’, the celebration of America’s 250^th birthday. Sometimes it feels like we’re in quicksand, or as others might say, “deep do-do”. Over the coming months we’ll have a chance to assess how far we have come, whether as a family or as a nation, while considering areas that need a reboot.

The Family Line Mission/Purpose Statement

“Joining hands and hearts across old-timers and next gens to make family connections feel more real, with courage to change and humility to heal.”

Celebrity Row: Here for the Culture – “Who Knew Michael Jackson Was a Fan of ‘Mr. Luva Luva’?”

Some fans can’t get enough of their favorite music artist. There’s something about the connection, maybe even the attraction that grows between song and fan. Pop music plays a big part in culture because as the saying goes, “music brings people together, no matter the weather.” Even if you don’t fully know the words, there’s the hook, the lyrics the groove that kinda put you in a flow.

Maybe that’s why movie studio execs are always trying to resurrect Michael Jackson and his music catalog. With the latest movie project release, fans will be reminded of his musical genius. There’s even the dance move, aka the moonwalk, that has become signature for other artists like Usher Raymond and Chris Brown, the new R&B duo.

On a recent episode of the ‘Sherri’ daytime talk show, Shaggy revealed a flashback with Michael. At the 30^th anniversary concert and TV Special for Michael held at Madison Square Gardens in 2001, Shaggy heard Michael wanted to see him. At first Shaggy thought it was a prank but was soon rubbing shoulders with the King of Pop. Michael was impressed with one of Shaggy’s popular songs and gave him props.

Maybe to this day that’s left a mark on Shaggy and so lately he’s got a new project with Robin Thicke. They’ve been doing the music release tour across every powerhouse radio station that you might think of. It was Shaggy who first approached Thicke about collaborating. That link-up led to the track ‘Looking Lovely’ which is in rotation everywhere. Who knew Michael was a fan of the dancehall ‘Luva Man’?

Lead Story: “A Level-up in Education at a Premier Institution!”

Well, the college basketball March Madness is a wrap. As some commentators like to say, “there’s nothing like it.” We had the chance to watch the men’s Final Four where Michigan took the crown. But before that was the women’s Final Four where UCLA won it all. The level of skill and teamwork always offers great life lessons, and maybe even a moment to shed a tear. The achievement is top-notch.

While that just went down, we got word from Family Line member Serge, that cuz Bernard Rousseau also has something to cheer about. He landed the position as Marilyn and Morgan Davies Dean of the Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Texas Christian University. As Dean, he’ll build upon Harris College’s renowned nursing and health science enterprise for its next phase of growth and development.

Rousseau is very accomplished with more than 20 years of experience in leadership roles at three Top 100 institutions: Vanderbilt University, University of Pittsburgh and Saint Louis University. “Dr. Rousseau possesses an insightful understanding of academic leadership and a strong commitment to student success,” said Floyd L. Wormley Jr., TCU provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs.

“My vision for Harris College is to be a national leader in health sciences education and student success and retention. I look forward to joining TCU to lead the Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences and support its faculty, staff, learners and alumni,” Rousseau said. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s in communicative disorders from the University of Central Florida, a Master of Management in Health Care from Vanderbilt University, and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Shoutout to cuz Bernard who begins at TCU on June 30^th.

Family Feature: “Taking Flight by First Taking Notes”

It was another chance to honor the legacy of the Tuskegee pilots as our own Family Line members Devon and Samatha Mitchell from Black Women in Aviation produced their annual commemoration Expo. This year it was held at Delaware State University, an HBCU. This parentship was significant because the University played a key role through its Civilian Pilots Training Program during World War II.

On hand were students, program administrators, community members and public officials. According to WHYY Online, the event featured aviation workshops, exhibits and a screening of “Red Tails,” a 2012 film about the Tuskegee Airmen and their service during World War II. The expo is meant to connect the achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen in modern aviation opportunities and career pathways.

Among the presenters was Devon who had the students’ attention. He has a passion for helping people find and connect mission and purpose. The HBCU’s aviation programs are similarly focused on training not only future pilots but also other personnel in the aviation industry. They’ve gone from having a handful of planes to now wholly owning a 25-aircraft fleet and 206 students in the program.

According to Shaun White from HBCU News Online, the event brought together two historic institutions that once stood as the only educational opportunities for African Americans in Delaware: Delaware State University and Howard High School of Technology. The event was a powerful full-circle moment honoring history, legacy, and progress, united in celebration of excellence, resilience, and achievement.

Turn Up Tips: Notes on Trusting the Process

“Our chief usefulness to humanity rests on combining power with higher purpose.” – Theodore Roosevelt

“Life is not linear. When you are presented with opportunities, take them. And when you aren’t, go find them.” – Emma Bloomberg

“It’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about what you’ve done.” –  Denzel Washington

Good Stuff: “In Sync with the Sistas!”

Ya’ll heard, right? Another Family Line member has joined the ‘Greek Letter’ ranks. This time it isn’t someone from the younger generation. It’s Nichelle joining ‘Delta Land’ and being in sync with the sistas! The history of fraternities and sororities has been long established as those who saw an opportunity for civic engagement and social impact. Many recognized names are among that number.

For Nichelle, maybe it was the feeling of camaraderie that got her attention. She says the experience brought her a renewed sense of identity and unity of spirit. While for young folks it might feel like a chance to be among the ‘hip crowd’, for those older it’s more like being a part of the ‘trip crowd’. Each year life takes us on a trip around the sun, and the older one gets the more significant that reality becomes.

So Nichelle, now that you’re a ‘Delta’, how are you going to celebrate? Well, some of that has already happened with their recent line dance performance. But there’s something else that seems to have taken shape. Each member of her family has found a way to be involved with a social organization. Collectively, there’s dad who’s a Mason, their son who’s a Kappa, with mom and daughter as Deltas.

Life & Times Flava (Chill Sauce for the Grind): “Comfort Foods While Watching Breakout Moves!”

The NASA Artemis II space crew returned home not long after the NCAA March Madness gave us a full dose of excitement and exhilaration. While the men’s tournament had some spectacular games, the women’s tournament gave us that and more. These days there’s a certain ‘fullness’ to the fan experience from watching the women level-up their game.

The UConn women’s team had an amazing season but fell short in not advancing to the finals. There was some sideline drama in the UConn vs South Carolina game which ended on a sour note. It seems the UConn coach took issue with getting beat, which then caused some disrespect towards the Carolina coach. It was a moment that distracted us from the spirit of the game. Thankfully we got past that drama.

We watched UCLA win a decisive game to earn the big prize. During these times we enjoy comfort foods but watch breakout moves. Whether it’s the history making voyage of Artemis II or the great performances during the whole of March Madness, it seems sports as well as science and technology keep pushing us to new heights. But whether in some family situations or world affairs we’re still dealing with drama.

A big takeaway from the UCLA coach’s post-game interview came when she choked up and said she’s proud of the team because “it’s not simply what you become as a player, but in character as a person.” That message might apply not just to sports, but in family dynamics as well as the social/political world. We go to the far reaches of sports and space but still struggle to live peacefully on earth or homebase.

While we ponder that thought, this month’s Lead Story puts the spotlight on Yasmine from the Salami family and her ‘Dream Africa: Cultural Exchange’ program. In the ‘Life & Times Flava’ column we revisit the question, “are leaders born or made?” and pose a new one, “are you a follower or influencer?” Visit the About page to learn more on how this portal of ‘Family Line Influencers’ came to be.

Celebrity Row: Here for the Culture – “An NBA All-star and Emerging Powerhouse in Basketball Recruiting”

The stars were out in full effect at the recent NBA all-star weekend in LA, as some fans still feel like the game is going through changes. With the 3-point shot taking over offensive plays/strategy, some say the NBA has work to do. One area that’s been a sore spot is how the all-star game has lost its appeal. So, NBA HQ came up with a new format of ‘USA vs the World’. But are die-hard fans loving it?

They say it’s two different worlds and styles of play. Well, while things play out on that front, others are getting in the game. Just ask first-time NBA all-star Norman Powell of the Miami Heat. He was on the ‘World’ team repping Jamaica, which for some was a surprise. What was later learned is that he’s been working with the Jamaican national basketball squad on qualifying for international competition.

It’s as if Jamaica is positioning itself to enter the chat around basketball, as they did with the winter sport bobsled. What’s the next movie gonna be called? Even Usain Bolt seems to have his eyes on the game. He was recently spotted at an ‘Unrivaled’ game in Texas. During a sideline interview, he mentioned being a fan and potential investor. Maybe track & field has fresh competition outside the lanes.

We know track & field college recruiters have had their eyes on Jamaican athletes for a long time. The thinking now is it won’t be long before basketball recruiters gonna be landing in Kingston or Montego Bay to checkout the rising stars on the island. Powell will bring even more clout now that he’s an all-star. Plus, he’ll have a signed jersey as a souvenir to prove.

For now, here’s more background on Powell and basketball as an emerging powerhouse in the Caribbean.  https://www.instagram.com/reels/DUZGU_ZkW2B/

Lead Story: “Hey ‘Diaspora’, Meet ‘Dream Africa’ Cultural Exchange!”

Here’s one of those moments that makes The Family Line Portal proud. A few years ago, on a cruise vacation, my wife met someone from Togo Africa. They struck up a warm connection, which later blossomed into regular chats. Now, it’s like being part of the Salami family from Togo, Africa, who invited us to their family reunion three years ago.

Well, it’s that time again, but it also comes with the third anniversary of the ‘Dream Africa’ Cultural Exchange. What we experienced when our family visited Yasmine and the Salami family was just a snapshot of what the cultural exchange hopes to realize this summer. It’s gonna be more immersive, more interactive, more impressive. Don’t take our word for it, checkout preview link below.

This time it seems like another Family Line Portal member, the Mitchell family from Delaware, is looking to tag-team in having the ‘Diaspora’ meet the ‘Dream Africa’ Cultural Exchange. That means two of our Portal’s founding families are looking to link-up for a rewarding experience. It’s also a case of a group on the west coast looking to collaborate with Dream Africa HQ on the east coast.

In the same way that my wife meeting Yasmine at first seemed like a ‘chance encounter’ a few years ago, watching a similar serendipity moment emerge is priceless. It’s a shared benefit we’ve considered, not really being sure how it would come together. Well, here we are with another Salami family reunion on the horizon, and Dream Africa having a chance to spread its wings across the coasts and Atlantic Ocean.

Family Feature: “When Retirement Fits the Moment!”

This winter has given us the ‘1-2-3 punch’ in snowstorms on the east coast. We should have listened to the groundhog, but who wants to take that hype seriously. For those who remember the storms from the 90’s, this winter might be giving that period some competition. But for cuz Andrew, he’s not complaining, considering he now gets a chance to kickback from his days working for NYC Transit, Bus Division.

Back then, he remembered buses being stuck in the streets for 24 hours after those big storms. Sometimes buses would run for hours, trying to stay warm for the driver and any passengers onboard. Then the bus would run out of fuel with nowhere to turn. Only thing left was to leave it empty and head back to the base. Imagine the bosses had the nerve to write-up the drivers for bus abandonment?

We see him in this throwback pic (above left, with brother Donovan and cousin Paul). But maybe it was on his day off when we ran into him and wife Millie attending a Charlie Wilson Concert at Barclays Arena. He was looking like homeboy turned ‘Dapper Drew’ and her looking like homegirl turned ‘Maven Millie’. Good thing wifey and I were dressed too, otherwise they might have given us the wave and kept moving.   

These days Andrew spends time traveling south on long weekends. As he recovers from shoulder surgery, he’s grateful for having his son near and a kind neighbor who helped with clearing the driveway. He often reminds other fam that retirement has its place, and for him it fits the moment. He keeps taking cruise trips here, Caribbean vacations there and doing lots of teasing of those still clocking in for 9 to 5.

Turn Up Tips: Notes on Trusting the Process

“What you tell yourself about others might put you in the know, but what you tell yourself about yourself helps create flow and boost how you grow.

“Excellence is the best deterrent to racism. Therefore, be excellent. Excellence is the best deterrent to sexism. Therefore, be excellent. In all your doing and being, strive for excellence.” – Rev. Jesse Jackson

“The seven deadly sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth, seems to need an upgrade in the modern political world…to add hypocrisy.”

Good Stuff: “Heroes Don’t Have to Wear Capes!”

You’ve seen the stories on the news where someone jumps into action in an emergency. Oftentimes the story has a good ending and features first responders who see it as just another day on the job. They prefer not to be seen as heroes. For them, it’s what they’re trained to do, and how they’re proud to serve. It’s as if they never know when life might call on them in unexpected ways.

That might be the way Tiana Joy will look back at a recent moment while out having dinner.  In a fast-moving situation, she calmly and courageously without hesitation, reservation or discrimination performed the Heimlich maneuver on a woman over 80 years old who was choking. In that moment where others may have panicked, she chose freedom over fear, love over delay, action over social media distraction. She literally saved the woman’s life!

Words won’t fully express what she did in that moment and the proud response she’s gotten from friends and family. She showed quiet strength, inner calm and dogged spirit. A willingness to act reflected her heart and was a blessing in this crazy world. Her courage was a reminder that heroes don’t have to wear capes. Sometimes they just stand up and step forward.

Life & Times Flava (Chill Sauce for the Grind): “Are You a Follower or an Influencer?”

In a previous generation, one of the questions that would often get asked is, “are leaders born or made?” One side of the debate would say ‘born’ because of certain natural traits that some leaders seem to hold. Folks on the other side would say ‘made’ because of those we’d see rise before our eyes, maybe not initially, but later unexpectedly. That question might even have been asked of Rosa Parks.

She gained notoriety for deciding not to give up her seat to move to the back of the bus in Montogomery Alabama. That brave act “turned out and turned up” folks in the civil rights movement. Interestingly, she wasn’t the first to take such action as six months earlier Claudette Colvin did the same thing in another part of the country. It just didn’t go viral, as we’ve come to understand that concept nowadays.

A ‘follower’ in the old-school sense is knowing how to be part of an organization, group or crew. A leader is often known for setting the pace or driving the vision. However, the question from back in the day has evolved into a new one of, “are you a follower or influencer?” With social media a big part of our chat, many are ‘followers’ across different platforms, others are ‘influencers’ of a product, service or vision.

Maybe Rosa Parks’ example might remind us of another old-time leader who said to his crew, “follow me and I’ll make you fishers of men.” From those words and actions we know He was focused on ‘feeding’ followers, and pulling on the ‘it-factor’ of influencers. If family, community or country are going to advance towards a better day or more perfect union, it’ll take an influencer’s mindset to get America to see the light.
