From the heart of the California Central Valley, the greatest garden in the modern world, we recall well the visit from First Lady Michelle Obama to our black fertile soil and proudly join Organizing for America to help grow a stronger more vibrant product of an educated electorate.

The example of elegance, grace, strength, wisdom and spirit demonstrated by First Lady Michelle Obama is reason enough to celebrate her birthday today, honoring U.S. tradition of celebrating our First Lady has special meaning this year.

The White House Urban Agriculture Project, Let’s Move Campaign and Season of Civil Rights Music in the White House suggest a cultural identification with extended family of African Descent in America.

Pastor Braxton, Metropolitan (AME) Church in Washington D.C. spoke of the universal creator working through people’s lives the morning before our first Sista’s birthday, let the global church say, Amen.

Mother Marian, “big momma” in the White House roots run deep in South Carolina, Gullah Geeche culture by way of West/Central Africa.

Emory S. Campbell, former director of the Penn Center, St. Helena Island currently chairs the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission and first introduced a comprehensive primary source documentation of the African linguistic and cultural heritage.

2011 United Nations International Year for People of African Descent embraces the storytelling, music, fishing, farming and low country cuisine of the Gullah Geeche people, connecting KiKongo, Mende, Wolof, Poro, Bamana, Kissi and a plethora of unique civilizations before and after the transatlantic slave trade of enslaved human beings.

“Gullah to the bone” is the word on the street to describe First Lady Michelle Obama, graduate from Princeton University and Harvard Law School. We hear you clear…"Things get better when regular folks take action to make change happen from the bottom up," she said. "Every major historical moment in our time, it has been made by folks who said, 'Enough,' and they banded together to move this country forward — and now is one of those times."

Happy Birthday First Sista ~ from the Central Valley of California, we are beginning to band together again to move the State of California and our nation forward, Healthy Solutions California.

Asante Sana’ Mother Marian, we will pray and dance tonight… and get back to work tomorrow. "Gullah to the Bone."
