Once again, my team had to divide and conquer. Today we were in Houston, Dallas, & Gonzales LA. Special shout out to CarePartners and Alzheimer's Association, Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter for the support. Special shout out also to my team.

Had a chance 2 provide dementia education & recruit 4 our research at Sigma Gamma Rho 84th Southwestern Regional Confernece in Little Rock. U may ask how did this happen? It was an inviatation from 1 of our past research participants. This is how our research is leading to impact.

please join me in learning about dementia in the Black community and church. But before we start learning how to care for community, we have to kick off the Dementia Summit with praise and Worship!!
