Who dat geechee uz

                                         

On the high of Barak Obama being relected I can't help but give a shout out to who I want to be THE GEECHEE of the week... Drum roll please....Ms. JOANNA JENKINS the 108 years old resident of SC, Beaufort county.  I'm not sure if she is geechee or have geechee ties but we gwine claim she because she from SC!   Mrs. Jenkins has never voted before partly because she was illiterate.  

(Side note) please see the importance of education.  Now ABSOLUTELY NO DISRESPECT to the wonderful  Ms. Jenkins she grew up in a much different time and her circumstances were on a level that the vast majority of us would not ever be able to understand.  However, a family member made it very clear that the lack of a basic education was a key component to her not EVER voting until now.   So def know how a lack of a basic education can hold you back from your privileges and/or rights!

Ok back to the good stuff...What a treat to be able to live your last days seeing the 1st AA president get voted in and contributing to his re-election!!!!!  That's what I'm talking about Ms. Jenkins I want to ride it out with a bang bang bang bang!  God has spared her a long life to vote, still has a smile on her face, and all her faculties at least as much as you are going to have at 108 years old.  My grandpa is 94years old and I love and handle him with so much TLC because of his journey and how it beat him up but never broke him.  That's something we will probably never see again in our people.  They just don't make them like that no more!  So kudos, prayer & blessings, horn blowers, hugs and kisses to all our elderly who have participated in our election process whether it's your 1st time or 80th you are the reason OBAMA is POTUS... 

Blowing you kisses Ms. Jenkins **muah**xoxoxos
