Happy anniversary to my darling wife!

Giving back episode

Each month, my podcast will spotlight a nonprofit anywhere across the globe that's giving back to its community. Today, we're proud to introduce you to Pat Hines and how she's helping make her city a better place to live. The Petersburg Center for Development Inc was originally formed as Triangle Center for Development Inc. in 2007 to raise awareness for the Halifax Triangle, the former black business hub in Petersburg. The name was changed to expand its reach and services citywide. The organization will host its 19th Annual Music Festival in 2026. It is the largest festival in the city, held on the Halifax Triangle, featuring local talent, food trucks, and supporting black cultural arts. It is always free and features black entrepreneurs to honor the rich history of our past. Cash App $PCD4Change to support their community first efforts!

4 the love of Petersburg

"We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity." ― Malcolm X

Public Information period (Petersburg, Virginia)

"It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable." ― Ashly Lorenzana
