My Wedding Song Has a Powerful Message–Are You Ready?
When my husband, John Hope Bryant, and I first started dating, we would play each other songs that expressed how we felt. One of our favorite artists was Alicia Keys. Her songs hit home with us.

Optimistic Message From Pastor and Civil Rights Leader, Ambassador Andrew Young
Last night Ambassador Andrew Young’s daughter-in-law, Angelica Young, sent me this video that Ambassador Young filmed the day before the election results were made clear.

The Day That Changed My Life
The day that changed my life… The day that I married my husband, John Hope Bryant, changed my life. The wedding is easy (hence why I wasn’t a bridezilla)…it’s the vows, decluttering your lives and meshing parts of it together, coming together as one, being loving even when you don’t want to, thinking for two…
