Keystone's Picture


I get choked up when I think of this young lady. If I were to take this program and give it a picture it would look like her. Tranisha is the longest, most active Keystone member. She is very serious about our expectations of the members. She prides herself for not missing a meeting in years. She is very active at the Boys and Girls Club. Whatever we tell the members to do, she does. When she first joined the Boys and Girls Club she was shy and afraid to speak out publicly. Now, not only will she speak publicly, but she represents the youth on the Boys and Girls Club board.

Tranesha plans to major in radiology, and after graduation from college, she plans to give back to the Boys and Girls Club. She is another story that if you knew it you would be as choked up as I am. This young lady is truely a survivor and an example of not complaining about what you do not have. Tranesha, I am so proud of you. You are an inspiration to me.

From a long way


This is a young man who is very special to me. This young man and his family have been around myself and my family for years. David Adams has come a long way. If you knew this man's story you would want to write a book on him. I am very proud of David who has traveled from being in trouble to being a high achiever. He is very active at his school, running track, playing football, and baseball. He is active in his church and in the Keystone Leadership Program. David keep it up.

Oh! I forgot


I forgot to mention that Cameron was allowed to play basketball with the Bowie State Boys Basketball team against the Russian team.

Help from the family





My family blessed us by opening up their home and cooking dinner for us. My cousins Demetrius and Regina and their husbands really took care of us. Thank you cousins. I love you.

Time to go


We are getting ready to leave...... where's Mr. David.

The African-American Wax Museum


The experience of this place was filled with mixed emotions. There were pictures that were very graphic. Some of our students had to step out, because it was too much for them. The students, however, need to see how people have suffered, and how they suffered so that we could have the freedoms that we take for granted. This was eye opening for myself and the students.
