There’s a Palestinian sandwich shop here in Chicago. This elderly man & his family run it. He saw me squinting trying to see if they had matcha lattes. They didnt have it on the menu but he said “I can make it.” Then he took his (I believe) grandson & taught him how to make matcha! It was so cute.
One of our donors & I had a mtg yesterday & they willing to extend & increase their funding to us for The Perry Second Chances Scholarship but they gave us a choice.
Do we increase our annual scholarship from $10K per winner to $20K
OR
Run $10K scholarships year round.
IDK what to do TBH.
Yep. Thats pretty much happening to me

CHICAGO: if you need a job, the hospitality unions say they are trying to fill spots at the new Obama Center since the tickets to visit it are sold out til October. My church member said they’re paying $26. Tap in if you can.
This summer, I’m living in Hyde Park, hanging out in Bronzeville, and my church is in Woodlawn and each of these places and all their history make me feel like Im just back at home in Louisiana. Especially the parks and the nature preserves. People are so nice here in Chicago.
They just said they support what we do and admire how such a small org has persevered through it all and they said they wanted “maximum coverage”
The older I get the less I care about climbing the corporate ladder. Ive JUMPED up the ladder faster than I assumed I would because of COVID and Im only 33. Salary wise the PEAK an epidemiologist can even make in their career is around $250K. Im already a Senior Epidemiologist.
