Dear Friends, Family and Fans,
I thank all of you for your overwhelming positive feedback for my updated website. I want you to know that the person who has consistently supported me by developing and maintaining all aspects of my social media presence, including enhancing and maintaining my current website, is Lady Charmaine Day. I met her when she was in the 5th grade. I found out several years ago that she had continued to follow me and revere me as a role model over several decades. What an honor. She believed that the brief interactions with me during her formative years was instrumental in her continued growth. As a result, she adopted me as her other mother and has continued to support me in multiple ways. The major focus has been enhancing my social media presence and website. I have witnessed and benefited from this talented, woman of God, who has overcome so many obstacles, She shared a powerful story, regarding her personal journey to find and hold on to her sanity during difficult times. She confided in me that she has bipolar, what it meant to have bipolar, and the deeply personal journey she took to achieve and sustain sanity. In fact, an important part of her journey is sharing her story with others who may or may not have suffered through mental illness. She has written several books, but her most recent is a narrative that authentically tells that story. It is called, “Do I Look Bipolar?” We need to know that mental health does not have a particular look. It can surreptitiously invade your life and that of others. Her book addresses that need. It provides important understandings, insights and coping strategies for mental wellness. I invite you to purchase her new book. You will not be disappointed. It may help you help and or understand someone else, and it could even help you to better understand yourself. I invite you to pre-order her new book. You will not be disappointed. I pre-order my copy. To get your own pre-order autographed copy:

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
What an honor I’ve been served.Yes, I received a Lifetime Achievement Award for volunteer service from Americorps and the United States President. I was presented the award by Dr Reba Renee Perry-Ufele Distributor for the award at a family and friends gathering this July 6th. As much as I appreciate this award, it serves to remind me that we each have an obligation to provide service. Opportunities and needs are unlimited. I pledge to continue to provide service. I ask God to give me the strength to do so. I also want to thank so many who have jobs you may be paid for, but not to the level of the service you render. Yes, like those in the armed forces, and our dedicated nurses and teachers, and other public servants who embrace the opportunity for keeping us safe from violence and fires, I thank you. I thank those of you who reach out in unseen and unrecognized ways. Thank you for your service!During this season I prayerfully ask that we add the responsibility of ensuring that all Americans vote to our service activities. Those of us who are the offspring of enslaved people have another level of obligation, in honor of our ancestors, many of whom lost their lives, or were jailed and otherwise punished for fighting for that right. I’m asking that each one of us not only vote, but find ways to encourage and support our young people voting, they may not have voted before; or guide others who are new citizens; and even remind others who haven’t realized the importance of each and every vote.

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
Happy Father’s Day!!!
I’m so thankful for our fathers!!!
The fathers who accept the role,
are honored by the role and
fulfill the requirements of the role.
I am thankful for the fathers who love us as we are while they help to make us more than we know we can be.
I’m also thankful for the fathers who aren’t sure or don’t know how to do it completely right, but they hang in there bringing their best even while working to be better.
I thank God the Father for the gift of an earthly father. I pray for that father on earth, who is responsible for my birth.
I am so thankful to God for all those fathers who are not fathers by blood,
but fathers by love, and care.
I share this poem that references our Father who art in heaven… thanking Him for making me .., recognizing He made me with the help of my father who was here on earth.

Dear Friends, Family and Fans,
For those of you who know me, you know I love teaching. It's bigger than an art and/or a science. I fervently believe a teacher can make all the difference in a child's life. Every interaction with every child matters. We must care about our students enough to stretch and engage and bring joy along with our content and pedagogy. We must bring who we are as a gift to our students so that they can comfortably give us the gift of who they are... and together we can do what Chris Emdin implores us to do... make magic happen in the classroom! That's what I tried to do when I was an elementary school teacher in P.S. 21, the Crispus Attucks School, under the mentorship of principal Adelaide Sanford... who is now known as NYS Vice Chancellor Emerita, and Queen Mother. That's what I still attempt to do as a college professor.
I'm a twenty year veteran professor at York College, CUNY. I believe we have some of the best students in New York!! The pre-service educators in our Department of Teacher Education, where I am an associate professor, are outstanding. My department chair suggested that one of my sessions be videotaped and used snippets to encourage more students to prepare to become certified teachers at York College. I am honored.
Please share this link so that our future teachers can find the care, deep professional and pedagogical knowledge, embedded with social justice and resonating with cultural competencies.

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
Happy Birthday to me!!! Today is my birthday!!!My friends and family know that I celebrate my birthday for the whole month. I actually believe birthdays should be celebrated all year round. I love the expression, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” How true is that? So it’s your birthday… it’s your birthday! Thank you God for making me. I celebrate Your handiwork. I honor the You in me… everyday. Each day is a brand new opportunity to be a better me. I’m going to love who I am even as I strive to become a better, badder, more awesome me.
I wrote this poem several years ago. It’s copyrighted so you can’t take it… but you can make it your mantra…refine it to make it a portrait of you. Celebrate your life and the God in you. Happy Birthday to you. Enjoy!

Better Me by Dr. Lindamichelle Baron
I’m living life, every minute.
Not looking back, just being in it.
Old comes quick. That’s what I know.
I feel too young to take it slow.
I’m not all I’m supposed to be
From who you are and what you see
But I’m becoming a better, badder
More awesome me!!
Not worried about my shape or face
My hair defies time and space.
It can be grey, down to the root.
Don’t need to be young to think I’m cute.
Dark spots speckle my skin
But I’m rocking the skin I’m in
I won’t be quiet. I won’t be still
I’m going to be and do just what I will
I don’t need to be the ultimate beauty
Or strut around the perfect booty
My cellulite can crack and crinkle
My body can be one big wrinkle
But I talk that talk clear and smooth
Walk my talk with every move
My body is shrinking, but I’m not small
My essence is straight up, proud and tall.
I’m not what you want me to be
From who you are and what you see
But I’m becoming a better, badder,
More awesome me!!

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
Happy Birthday to me!!! Today is my birthday!!!My friends and family know that I celebrate my birthday for the whole month. I actually believe birthdays should be celebrated all year round. I love the expression, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” How true is that? So it’s your birthday… it’s your birthday! Thank you God for making me. I celebrate Your handiwork. I honor the You in me… everyday. Each day is a brand new opportunity to be a better me. I’m going to love who I am even as I strive to become a better, badder, more awesome me.I wrote this poem several years ago. It’s copyrighted so you can’t take it… but you can make it your mantra…refine it to make it a portrait of you. Celebrate your life and the God in you. Happy Birthday to you. Enjoy!

Better Me by Dr. Lindamichelle Baron
I’m living life, every minute.
Not looking back, just being in it.
Old comes quick. That’s what I know.
I feel too young to take it slow.
I’m not all I’m supposed to be
From who you are and what you see
But I’m becoming a better, badder
More awesome me!!
Not worried about my shape or face
My hair defies time and space.
It can be grey, down to the root.
Don’t need to be young to think I’m cute.
Dark spots speckle my skin
But I’m rocking the skin I’m in
I won’t be quiet. I won’t be still
I’m going to be and do just what I will
I don’t need to be the ultimate beauty
Or strut around the perfect booty
My cellulite can crack and crinkle
My body can be one big wrinkle
But I talk that talk clear and smooth
Walk my talk with every move
My body is shrinking, but I’m not small
My essence is straight up, proud and tall.
I’m not what you want me to be
From who you are and what you see
But I’m becoming a better, badder,
More awesome me!!

Dear Friends, Family and Fans,
Just recently, in Hempstead, the same town where I live, and where the mayor previously honored me with the title Village Griot, I was invited to visit the Joseph A. McNeil School. Little did I know that I would be greeted by a class of students reciting one of my poems. Then I was escorted to a classroom where I was interviewed by one of the most poised, talented 6th graders ever. By the end of the interview I actually asked for her autograph.
I was celebrated, but what made that day so special for me, was being a part of the trajectory of this young lady’s accession into her becoming... whatever she wishes to be.
The entire morning was facilitated with professionalism, and respect for all the children. As much as they featured me, it was truly all about the children. I’d love for you to watch this video where this school is creating a culture of excellence:

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
I celebrate the first few months of the year with special connections. January…a day is dedicated in honor of the life of an American hero, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. February, special focus on Black History along with recognition of the birth of icons, Langston Hughes and Rosa Parks. I also use the whole month as an opportunity to give special thanks to God for my birth. March, another opportunity to celebrate phenomenality…Woman’s History Month. And now April, Poetry month. I invite all of us to celebrate the power and prescience of poetry. I welcome each of us and our children to read, memorize and recite poems that connect with our lives, bring us joy, and an opportunity to reflect. I have posted the “Poetic License” that is also included in the back of two collections of my poetry dedicated to young people, “The Sun Is On: Poetry and Ideas,” and “Rhythm & Dues: Poetry and Ideas.”
Poetize yourselves! Let’s fill this next month with words of wisdom, wit, passion, insight, emotion, creativity. I invite you to write, recite and ignite the universe through the world of poetry. I’ll do my part to support the process by sharing excerpts of my poetry from three of my poetry books (I’m including “For the Love of Life: Life Lyrics from and Oral Tradition”.…every day for the thirty days of April.

Hundreds of writers from across the US answered the call and 50 stories were selected.
My story along with others ( including a couple that I know) will be presented on Facebook Live! Thu, May 21, 8PM at url: https://www.facebook.com/billieholidaytheatre/
I am so grateful to be one of the 50.
Here is the story that I submitted:
Love in the Age of Corona
No lipstick. According to my mother lipstick as an accouterment was non-negotiable. No matter how early in the morning, at the supermarket… 6:00am. No earrings either? An abomination. Earrings don’t work with rubber bands trying to hold this mask to my face. Gotta get here early cause I need toilet paper. Up one aisle, down another. Wait a minute. Lord, did you send me a black angel? How can a man look so good, a mask covering his face from his neck to his nose? His eyes are pure light. I think I detect a smile under the mask. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Black shirt and pants. Where’s my lipstick. Black on black in black. I should have worn my wig. The closer I get, the better he looks. But I need toilet paper! He steps back, nods his head and gestures toward the shelf where the one package of twelve rolls of paper gold rest. I look at him, then the paper-gold, look at him, then…my eyes say “Thanks.” His eyes say “You are more than welcome.” So Yes, I believe in love at first sight. Thank you, Lord! For both. Amen.
Love and realness,
