PROUD ALUMNI!!

Happy Thanksgiving and Roar Lions! It was a JOY to witness the UNA Marching Pride at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with my family 🦁💜💛

I moved to Florence, AL back in the good Lord’s year of 2005 specifically to be a part of this program as a Lionette. The band is the number one recruiting tool to the university and many stay and make The Shoals their home. It is unreal to see them on such a large platform for the university and the city!

Congratulations, band, and well done to each student and director!

Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving as well
🤍 KT

It’s true, I really do love these babies! 🩷💙

I’m thrilled to have been able to share the Killen’s birth stories with y’all. I pray it impacts a community of parents and professionals to see how beautiful and supported cesarean birth can be. Thank you for letting me share, Lauren & Jonathan, and thank you for choosing me to be by your side.

Congratulations to the Killen family and the birth of their precious son, Timothy 🩵

I was fortune to be a part of both of their births and am so incredibly proud of this couple. Navigating choices and making requests are not easy but Lauren was confident and bold in her preferences for her repeat cesarean birth. Thankfully, everything worked out exactly how they had hoped and it was a beautiful birthday! I’m definitely celebrating with y’all!!

A big thanks to Dr. Love, Dianna Castillo, and the other wonderful folks at for accommodating my clients needs. I appreciate y’all so much!

Welcome to the world, sweet boy!!

Share with your loved ones and give if you’re able. This will directly support those in our community affected by the loss of SNAP benefits.

It takes a village, and we need you! 🗣
🚨Florence, Alabama is in urgent need of food relief🚨—especially for Black mothers whose families are at risk right now. In Alabama 45% of black children depend on SNAP benefits for their meals outside of school.
With the recent government shutdown affecting SNAP benefits, many black families are facing a sudden gap in access to nutritious meals. In Alabama, 64.5% of single moms are Black moms.

Here's the stats: "Nearly a quarter of Black householders in Alabama were enrolled in SNAP benefits last year, compared to just 8% of white householders. About 15% of Hispanic and Native American householders in the state also received benefits." Al.com

"Major racial and ethnic groups in Alabama also experience higher rates of poverty compared to poverty nationally. Among white residents, 11% live in poverty compared with 9% nationally. Among Black residents, one quarter live in poverty compared with 21% nationally. Among Latinx residents, one quarter live in poverty compared with 17% nationally, an 8-point variance. " Southern Poverty Law Center

While two federal judges have ruled that President Trump must continue to fund SNAP, there has been no commitment to do so.

That’s why our organization, Project Say Something, is stepping up with an emergency food relief plan for single Black Mothers in Florence, particularly West Florence: each week we will deliver one complete meal per household, featuring new menu items every week, directly to Black mothers in Florence.

There will be a special hotline where a mother in crisis can call, reserve a meal for her household, and have it delivered to their home. ALL proceeds go to our Black Mother's Emergency Fund!

Here’s the powerful part: $25 can support one family for a full week of these meals.

Would you be willing to make a donation today to help a family get through this crisis week by week? 💛

Thank you so much for your solidarity at this moment of urgent need.
