Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1Poem Reading by Elaine B. Holtz and her partner and Co-Producer Ken Norton: Friends and Lovers, poem by Elaine B. Holtz with comments by Elaine on the history of Valentine's Day. Since it is Black History Month, we chose three Black American women to talk of their supportive loving relationships.

2 Our first guest, Jackie Elward, comments on the poem and on her relationship with her husband John Elward. Jackie is born in the Congo and met John, a Caucasian American that taught in a Bible School that she attended. The relationship formed after his return to the USA, and they started to write to each other. Jackie talks about balancing their interests, hers in politics and his in advocacy for labor, and their support for one another that completes each. There is an element of sacrifice in that they invest time in communicating and being with one another and make it a point to include their family of three children.

About our Guest: Jackie Elward is the Mayor of Rohnert Park and elected member of the City Council in 2020. Jackie was born in the Congo, where she met her American husband, John Elward, a teacher at the time. They have been married 19 years and have three children.

3 Our second guest, Nancy Rogers, emphasizes the trust in each other, along with that of a higher spirit, that is the success of their relationship. They assign roles in a job and trust that each is responsible to fulfill them. Taking the time to fully communicate their needs to one another is also important.

About our Guest: Nancy Rogers is President of the Northern California Black Chamber, organizer of both Blacks United and the Juneteenth Celebration.  Nancy is married to Harold Rogers, her partner in their business Red Rose Catering and raised 4 children together.

4 Our third guest, Celeste Austin, talks of her loving supportive relationship with Linda Jackson, who met later in live. Celeste believes the timing of the meeting was just right and they were ready for one another. The We-time together is important, and they make the effort to make time for one another.
