When You Drop Kick The Drama Anything is Possible!
Biography
I was the only African-American student in my elementary school class and including me there were only 8 African Americans in my graduating high school class.
Despite my creativity and talent, I faced bullying, racial prejudice, and isolation at school due to the color of her skin.
My retail education prepared me to be recruited into a prestigious retail management/ executive training program in one of the largest department stores in New England.I also worked at the corporate headquarters of a national women’s apparel manufacturing corporation.
Later embarking on a 32 year career teaching Fashion Marketing in Washington State. I developed numerous anti-bullying programs, and was recognized for excellence in teaching at the state and national level!
LIFE TODAY
As a retiree and widow, I continues to win awards as a senior athlete in track and field. Presently, I am writing a monthly column in a local paper chronicling my journey to the National Senior Games. I am also motivational speaker committed to preventing bullying in schools and promoting an active second act.
Also a member of Toastmasters International where I participates in international speech contests.
My goal Is to utilize my skills, talents and experiences to assist others with achieving their goals and dreams; while building their self-esteem.
About Madonna
I truly believe that when people drop kick the drama in their lives...Anything is POSSIBLE! I am a living example of that statement.
I should be booked as guest because, I am a charismatic, energetic and dynamic survivor! Thank goodness I was bullied as a child. Being bullied prepared me to grow a thick skin and helped me to stand my ground as a retail executive in a conservative white city like Boston. I later became a high school Fashion Marketing educator in Washington State. Absolutely, no bullying allowed in my classroom! I look forward to sharing my anti-bullying classroom strategies and the anti-bullying campaigns I created and shared with schools in Washington State. Also, as a retired person, on whim at the age of 57, (10 years ago) I became a competitive amateur sprinter. Mind you I had no prior experience at all in track and field. I have competed in numerous Washington State Senior Game events and am preparing for my 3rd. National Senior Game event, May 2022. My coach is a 2021 Olympic hopeful. Yes, I can share tips on what it's like to be- teaching millennials in a class room, then retire and be bossed by a millennia. I believe seniors can live an exciting "Big Life!" Just because your old does not mean you don't have a future! I am also a widow ,going on three years. I believe widows and widowers can inspire others by reaching out/volunteering and being rainbows that brighten the lives of others. I definitely love to using my experiences, talents and skills to encourage people of all age to achieve their dreams and goals!
