Like It Is

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb. “I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself. And spreading out the earth all alone, Isaiah 44:24 "When will humans--finally--learn that there is one God, no matter the name, and one identity for all humanity?" said "I AM"
“ Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed , for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 

"The only time I can get man's attention is when it floods" said I Am.

The LORD'S is my Shepherd Jesus Christ Super Star, Michael Jerel Pippen since 1949.   I'm not black in white man's game, the LORD's begotten son in His game Joined by wingmen Archangels Gabriel & Michael & Armies to plow the road.
Love thy neighbor as thy self.  The new World Order shall be Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Never Trumps and Confederates, the devil's own. People of color shall have opportunities other than sports and entertainment world wide.

N.C. A&T Boosts Student Interest in STEM Careers with SciTech Week
Jordan Howse
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Feb. 20, 2019) -- North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s College of Science and Technology (CoST) will focus on the next generation of innovators during its 2019 SciTech Week, March 11-15.
The theme for the event is “STEM Expansion: Increasing Motivation, Awareness, Access, Preparation, and Purpose.” The week consists of visits by middle and high school students who will engage in hands-on STEM demonstrations and activities facilitated by CoST students and faculty, as well as Carolina Biological Supply Company.  The purpose of SciTech Week is to educate and expose students to STEM-focused career pathways. The projected job market for STEM-related careers is almost limitless for today and tomorrow’s economy. In order to position underrepresented minorities for such competitive opportunities, students must feel encouraged to train in STEM fields.
Our economy is increasingly reliant on data and technology, and the demand for professionals in cloud computing, analytics and network security has increased as well,” said Abdellah Ahmidouch, Ph.D., dean of the College of Science and Technology. “N.C. A&T makes graduate STEM education accessible and continues to meet demand by giving our students the in-depth expertise and hands-on experience they need to be the 21st century STEM leaders.”  File Video
