Interview with Dedoceo Habi on talking PTSD
by Wanda Sabir, Arts and Culture Editor, Bayview Black Newspaper
Wanda Sabir: Good morning and welcome to Wanda’s Picks, a Black arts and cultural program of the African Sisters Media Network. When I wake up in the morning, I usually try to capture my dreams and write. So today, this poem came to me. Just reflecting on Memorial Day weekend, reflecting on people who made the ultimate sacrifice – gave their lives for our country – and also reflecting on Mental Health Awareness Month, which concludes on Memorial Day.
We were excited to recieve our first grant from our local Walmart via the Walmart Foundation. With great joy we accepted our donation and enjoyed the company of other awardees.
The greatest joy came from engaging the US Marines who were present, representing Toys For Tots. We were reminded of why we started Hummingbird Haven, and our obligation to the community as we looked around and saw so many caring, dedicated, professional, and driven members of the community.
Without question, we were in great company.
Being a member of the local Chamber of Commerce can help in many ways… it also provides the Hummungbird Haven team the opportunity to meet with many current and future business leaders who may help us reach our goals.
We want to acknowledge the time and effort Kimberly Habi, the Hummingbird Haven CEO, takes in her new duties as a new Antelope Valley Chambers of Commerce Ambassador.
Look out for her in the community… she’s always happy to meet you.
