It is not what it seems. During this season, perhaps some of you have felt mental and emotional uncertainty and unrest. It seems that everything that could be shaken is shaking, where noise, angry noise, appears to be drowning out laughter and love. I am describing what I felt from an adult perspective, someone who has known challenge, loss, and fear. And somehow, with the help of faith, time, and supportive friends, I recovered and healed. I was blessed. But what about the children, the next generations? How do we love them through this season of storms to the other……

A Voice of the Future featuring Generation Z’s Nyliek Brooks

Posted on July 22, 2025 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Throughout my experiences in education, writing, inspiring others, hosting international talks, managing a business, and facing life’s challenges, I constantly find myself asking the critical question: What about the children? What time is it on their clock of well-being and achievement? After all, we are all invested in the outcome through legacy. Legacy is our interconnection across time, encompassing both the need for those who have come before us and the responsibility to those who will come after us. We must recognize that the world isn’t connected merely by molecules; it is connected through stories, traditions, memories, hopes, and dreams.……

Everyone has a story, and in fact, each person is a story. Our stories evolve as part of a journey rather than a destination; they are a process, not just an event. We grow emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically throughout this journey. It is only when we look back and reflect that we can truly understand our paths. This week, we take a look at the life journey of one intelligent, evolving, and creative individual. Patric Gregory McCoy has learned that life works in his favor because he understands that everything he manifests outwardly is a result of who he……

Don’t Despise Small Beginnings Featuring Millennial Sherrita Wilkins

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“Millennials represent one of the most thrilling and formidable generations since the baby boomers ignited a social revolution. Rather than seeking to overthrow the Establishment, they are simply coming of age in a landscape that lacks one. The Industrial Revolution equipped individuals with the power to relocate to cities, launch businesses, educate themselves, and organize in new ways. Now, the information revolution has taken that empowerment to another level, providing the tools for individuals to challenge large institutions: hackers confronting corporations, bloggers rivaling newspapers, terrorists standing against nation-states, YouTube creators taking on major studios, and app developers disrupting entire industries.……

I find myself increasingly troubled by the state of our nation and the legacy we are creating for future generations. What will the future hold for them? Consider the young girl navigating the treacherous waters of middle school, desperately seeking a way to escape the hurtful messages she encounters on social media. Think of the young man consumed by violent video games, losing touch with reality. Picture the parents who see their child as lazy and disconnected, unaware that these behaviors could be symptoms of deeper struggles like depression. Envision the overwhelmed teacher, unable to connect with her students amid……

Many parents want their children to embrace ideas such as cooperation, kindness, or honesty, but these may be the most challenging concepts for them to convey. In a flicker, youngsters spot a lecture coming and are quick to retreat mentally, leaving behind a black expression that nearly every parent recognizes with a sigh. Fortunately, parents already have a strategy “in their backyard ” to deliver these messages to ready and open ears. I invite you to rediscover a secret weapon you have always had—and youngsters have always responded to—the Story. Remember being a child? Everything was alive. Everything had a……

Our Women’s History and Appreciation Month celebrates Phenomenal Women who walk into this space through many doors. They willingly share their stories authentically and often vulnerably in order to pay forward what they have learned and to celebrate each other. Thank you, ladies! On March 31, 1776: In a letter to her husband, Founding Father John Adams, future first lady Abigail Adams makes a plea to him and the Continental Congress to “The future First Lady wrote in part, “I long to hear that you have declared an independency.

What About the Children? A Courageous Conversation with Amelia Stansell, Business Consultant by Day and Superhero by Night.

In 1986, Whitney Houston sang a powerful, positive message about nurturing our children and believing in their potential, titled “The Greatest Love of All.” Fast forward to today, and the UN Secretary-General urgently reminds us of our duty: “leave no child behind” in the battle against human trafficking—a grave violation of human rights that preys on the most vulnerable among us. Tragically, one-third of trafficking victims are children, who endure unimaginable suffering, from forced labor to sexual exploitation and even recruitment as soldiers. The rise of online platforms has further exacerbated their vulnerability, allowing traffickers to exploit these innocent lives……
