Working in higher education and now managing programs that work with middle and high school students, I have come to understand that your circumstance may affect your now, but it doesn’t define your future! As educators we MUST remember what our students endure to get school may not break them, but your apathy will. Take a moment to ask the questions that will support and affirm their efforts......... their success may depend on it! #theyarethefuture #chooseyourbattles #empower #support #takeamoment #understanding #traspeaks👓

Purpose Driven......Positive Thinking!
I GOT THE POWER!
Hi! I'm Tracy Stokes, M.Ed, Founder of TraSpeaks, LLC. I invite you to join me on a path to positivity! I recently had a conversation with a trusted advisor. She encouraged me find the positive in situations despite hard/difficult times ( I was having a doozy of a week). I was sad, frustrated, and ready to give up..... and my advisor wouldn't let me beat myself up or let me give up! She encouraged me to look into a book she read called The Power of Positivity by Norman Vincent Peale.......look it up! (Thank you SV for those words of wisdom)!
She reminded to reach into my knowledge base to create spaces that allow for tapping into the areas that "calm" me. Sometimes you're not going to be where you want "to be" in life, sometimes relationships don't work out, sometimes your money might be a little funny...... but guess what? "Trouble don't last always" ( if you know the song... clap and. Song with me) Know that you will get through your hard times/days! For me that is my faith and writing, for you it may be something else (cooking, meditation, yoga, exercise). The goal is to assist you with finding that place, creating positivity, and aligning with your purpose!
For the next 21 days, I challenge you to "BE POSITIVE! BE PURPOSE DRIVEN, and BE POWER FOCUSED! Focus on those things that empower you, create a positivity plan, and encourage you to have a "positivity circle "of people who support and uplift you!
Sometimes you will have hard days that will make you say or think things like: This was the worst day ever! No one understands me! I can't handle this! We all have these days, right?!The key is adding resources to your toolkit so that you are able to make it through any situation!
(Sometimes you have to encourage yourself!)
You can't erase the path you have already taken, but you can take steps to create an action plan that will assist you with having a plan in place that will get you through! I give to leave you with five action steps that will point you in the right direction!
1. Create your foundation (fill your toolkit).
2. Take a step back!
3. Daily affirmations work!
4. Friends, how many of us have them?
5. Implement your positivity plan!
Black boys aren’t scary. Black masculinity isn’t scary. Black boys and black masculine people deserve better.
