Hats Off “Dear Success Seekers”!!! I was honored to not only attend Sister Friends United, Inc. “Stand Strong” Women’s Hat Luncheon, held at the Central Arkansas Main Library on Saturday, March 30, 2013, but elated to walk away with the coveted “Best Hat” competition award. I also walked away with a revelation that a hat is like success, uniquely created and worn!!! There is no “one size fits all” design and both success and hats come in different sizes, colors and styles!!! Hats’ like success are personal and are defined by the one who dares to wear them!!! How do you dare to wear your “Hat of Success”????

Dear Ms. Michele:

My name is Alice Faye Duncan. I met you on Saturday at Rockefeller Elementary. I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for being a leader in literacy. African American children need us adults to get serious about books and learning because it’s the only way that they will become serious about books and learning. What we love, our children will love. What we do, our children will do. Meeting you was a joy. Keep shining your light.”

Sincerely,
Alice Faye Duncan
Author, Honey Baby Sugar Child
