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.

1. Poem 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.
