Madam CJ Walker: America's First Self-Made Female Millionaire

Out of the many inspirational women I looked up in my search of women and finances, Madam C.J. Walker stood out among them. As the first American female self-made millionaire, how could she not? Madam Walker exhibited all of the traits that I wanted to learn about and now share with you all.

 

"Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them."

March Family Book Club: An Introduction & the March book

March Family Book Club: An Introduction & the March book
Introducing the Daisy May & Me Family Book Club!
This is an opportunity for families to read together and have fun! Books are a great way to learn about other perspectives, including our own.
 
We will pick the book, we'll give you a reading schedule, discussion questions, activities, food & decoration ideas, etc. You get to read awesome books with your family! 
 
This month we are talking about online relationships, so we've chosen Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling as our book club pick. 
 
We'll read about Aven Green, a 13-year old girl who was born without arms. She moves to Arizona - to a new school with people that she doesn't know and that don't know her. She learns how to adjust and tries to make new friends. Oh, and she lives at a theme park. How fun is that?! 
 
It's 288 pages. The audiobook is 5 hours & 30 minutes. 
 
The reading level is grades 3-7 (ages 8-12), but it can easily be read aloud to younger kids. 
 
Dive into Aven's story with us! We think you'll find her pretty incredible and you'll love her just as much as we do. 
 
This post has a full explanation of family book club and all of the details for the March book. 
 
What do you think? Will you read along with us?

Daisy May and Me: An Origins Story

I decided that even though the purpose for clothes is to cover bodies I didn't want their mind focused on bodies. I want them to realize that the people in the clothes are much more important.

Mae Jemison's life shows us that our time, our life can be what we make it. That possibilities for men and women are as endless as the stars in the universe.
