I am excited to announce the family of the month. This family right here stepped right out of Essence Magazine. Everytime that I see them, they are 3 generations of smooth. The head honcho I like to reference as mama, she keeps everyone in check…yes, even me…..but she is so welcoming and loving and her smile is wonderfully contagious. The second queen, the mother of these 3 beautiful children…Honey, she is a hair and fashion diva. She can dry, fry and lay to the side (as they used to say back in the day). She is a burst of sunshine and a wonderful mother.  The smile of this beautiful little girl is genuine, she is truly a beautiful and well-mannered blossom. Speaking of well-mannered, these two young men are well spoken and momma taught them respect of a woman early….chil’ just know…momma got some Casanova’s on her hands.

I am so excited to feature this family not only as my family of the month but a wonderful family to know. I get upset when I don’t see them at Congolese dance class on Mondays.

I announce to some and familiarize to others…….

The Ford Family!

Thank you Ford family for being apart of The Village and for being a fine example of a beautiful black family.

Always remember……….Love, Power, Respect and Family!
