Happy ❣️
Taking care of your well-being looks different for everyone. Rest, connect with others, stay active, and do what makes you happy. Small mindful choices—like spending time in nature, exercising or practicing yoga, eating mindfully, and focusing on one thing at a time—can make a meaningful difference for both parents and kids.

FFRC sends our deepest condolences to the family of author and civil rights pioneer Jo Ann Allen Boyce, who passed away last week at age 84.
At 14, Jo Ann became one of the Clinton 12, the first Black students to desegregate Clinton High School in Tennessee after Brown v. Board of Education. She later shared her powerful story in her book "This Promise of Change: One Girl’s Story in the Fight for School Equality" (available for purchase on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/3RqYu5X).
Family Focus was honored to welcome Jo Ann as a virtual guest speaker in 2021 for Black History Month. Her insight, courage, and warmth continues to resonate with us today.
We extend our love to the entire Boyce family, including Jo Ann’s cousin, FFRC Outreach Specialist Theresa Quary.
Please take a moment to honor her legacy by watching the recording of her visit on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dathh9KyXxg?si=Dv_49H6JVjOr2W4f The Cameron Boyce Foundation
