While driving downtown through the Raleigh community yesterday on the way to find a Black Fathers conference I smelled fried fish…and came up on a “LIVE ENTERTAINMENT” block party.

Well the Raleigh community organization called, JUSTICE SERVED NC: “Take The Hand That Is Willing To Serve You” was holding a very well attended community event!

I learned that Ms. Diana Haywood-Powell is the executive director and Mr. Fitzhugh is certainly a “driving and popular community force”.

 

JUSTICE SERVED NC which advocates for positive youth development, crime prevention, pre-gang intervention, and transition support for young ex-offenders was in “high gear” with parents, children, extraordinary R&B and DJ mixed-music, delicious food, fun, cordial business-owners, and informative presentations on legal system awareness, mental health awareness, housing, and jobs related to the Raleigh area.

 

 

Business owners were present. Meet Ms. Invention herself!

Adrienne Small of Cookies & Sweets (919)995-6124 invented the perfect party favor “a cup cake on a stick” delicious and not wasted cake for parties of all ages.
