Anthony was born in 1820 in Massachusetts. She was raised as a Quaker and her belief in equality inspired and guided her throughout her life’s work.
Anthony fought for the abolition of slavery. In 1856, she served as an American Anti-Slavery Society agent, making speeches, organizing meetings, and distributing pamphlets.
In 1851, Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the two suffragists worked to gain independence and equality for women for the rest of their lives. She traveled around the country advocating for women’s rights and lobbied Congress every year until her death.
She died in 1906, fourteen years before many women were given the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Anthony nació en 1820 en Massachusetts. Fue criada como cuáquero y su creencia en la igualdad la inspiró y la guió a lo largo del trabajo de su vida.

Anthony luchó por la abolición de la esclavitud. En 1856, se desempeñó como agente de la Sociedad Americana Antiesclavita, pronunciando discursos, organizando reuniones y distribuyendo folletos.

En 1851, Anthony conoció a Elizabeth Cady Stanton y los dos sufragistas trabajaron para obtener independencia e igualdad para las mujeres por el resto de sus vidas. Viajó por todo el país abogando por los derechos de las mujeres y presionó al Congreso todos los años hasta su muerte.

Murió en 1906, catorce años antes de que a muchas mujeres se les diera el derecho al voto con la aprobación de la Enmienda 19.

it’s important for us warriors to have an emergency backpack because one thing we hate as warriors are ER visits but one thing we hate more are those ER visits that turn into hospitalizations especially when you don’t have your bag ready with you! Make sure you pack some warm clothes, a copy of your home medications and dosages, a blanket, an extra toothbrush, a towel and washcloth to be able to shower when needed. And as always if you need help with getting any resources please reach out to us here at the foundation and we’ll be able to assist you! ✌🏾🌙❤️

Es importante para nosotros, los guerreros, tener una mochila de emergencia porque una cosa que odiamos como guerreros son las visitas a la sala de emergencias, pero una cosa que odiamos más son esas visitas a la sala de emergencias que se convierten en hospitalizaciones, ¡especialmente cuando no tienes tu bolso listo contigo! Asegúrese de empacar ropa de abrigo, una copia de sus medicamentos caseros y dosis, una manta, un cepillo de dientes adicional, una toalla y un paño para poder ducharse cuando sea necesario. Y como siempre, si necesita ayuda para obtener algún recurso, ¡póngase en contacto con nosotros aquí en la fundación y podremos ayudarle! ✌🏾🌙❤️

Sandra Cisneros has won multiple awards, fellowships, and honors as an internationally recognized writer. On September 22, 2016, President Barack Obama presented Cisneros with the National Medal of Arts for her work. Her book called The House on Mango Street, has sold over six million copies and has been translated into over twenty languages.
Sandra Cisneros was born on December 20, 1954 in Chicago, Illinois. The first book Cisneros published was a short book of poetry called Bad Boys in 1980. Four years later, she published a fiction novel called The House on Mango Street in 1984. This book would go on to become one of her most famous writings. Just a year after it was published, The House on Mango Street won the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. Cisneros kept writing poems, short stories, and novels in both Spanish and English. She published her first full-length poetry book called My Wicked Wicked Ways in 1987. In 1991, Cisneros published a collection of short stories called Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories.

Being handpicked to be one of three black students to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools is something that many people would consider one of their life’s most notable moments, but it’s just one of several breakthroughs that have marked Katherine Johnson’s long and remarkable life. Born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in 1918, her intense curiosity and brilliance with numbers vaulted her ahead several grades in school. By 13, she was attending the high school on the campus of historically black West Virginia State College. At 18, she enrolled in the college itself, where she made quick work of the school’s math curriculum and found a mentor in math professor W. W. Schieffelin Claytor, the third African American to earn a PhD in mathematics. She graduated with highest honors in 1937 and took a job teaching at a black public school in Virginia.
The 1957 launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik changed history—and Johnson’s life. In 1957, she provided some of the math for the 1958 document Notes on Space Technology, a compendium of a series of 1958 lectures given by engineers in the Flight Research Division and the Pilotless Aircraft Research Division (PARD).

exchange transfusion is a treatment option used to manage sickle cell disease. The goal of this treatment is to replace the patient’s sickle shaped red blood cells with healthy red blood cells from a donor, exchange transfusions help control the percentage of sickled cells as well as boost hemoglobin levels.
Exchange transfusions can reduce the risk of complications associated with sickle cell disease, including pain crisis, organ damage, and stroke. During an exchange transfusion blood is removed from the patient’s body and replaced with donor blood unlike a regular blood transfusion where donor blood is added to the patient’s blood with the possibility of being iron overloaded.

No Warrior should go without these essentials!🌙❤️
______________
La transfusión de intercambio es una opción de tratamiento utilizada para controlar la enfermedad de células falciformes. El objetivo de este tratamiento es reemplazar los glóbulos rojos en forma de hoz del paciente con glóbulos rojos sanos de un donante, las transfusiones de intercambio ayudan a controlar el porcentaje de células falciformes, así como a aumentar los niveles de hemoglobina.
Las transfusiones de intercambio pueden reducir el riesgo de complicaciones asociadas con la enfermedad de células falciformes, incluyendo crisis de dolor, daño orgánico y accidente cerebrovascular. Durante un intercambio de transfusión, la sangre se extrae del cuerpo del paciente y se reemplaza con sangre de donante, a diferencia de una transfusión de sangre regular en la que se agrega sangre de donante a la sangre del paciente con la posibilidad de estar sobrecargada de hierro.

¡Ningún guerrero debería ir sin estos elementos esenciales! 🌙❤️

Co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association, Dolores Clara Fernandez Huerta is one of the most influential labor activists of the 20th century and a leader of the Chicano civil rights movement.

Born on April 10, 1930 in Dawson, New Mexico, Huerta was the second of three children of Alicia and Juan Fernandez, a farm worker and miner who became a state legislator in 1938.

In 1955 Huerta began her career as an activist when she co-founded the Stockton chapter of the Community Service Organization (CSO), which led voter registration drives and fought for economic improvements for Hispanics. She also founded the Agricultural Workers Association. Through a CSO associate, Huerta met activist César Chávez, with whom she shared an interest in organizing farm workers. In 1962, Huerta and Chávez founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), the predecessor of the United Farm Workers’ Union (UFW), which formed three year later. Huerta served as UFW vice president until 1999.

Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm was born in Brooklyn, New York to immigrant parents who came to the United States from Barbados. Chisholm graduated from Brooklyn College and the Teachers College at Columbia University. In 1968, she became the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress and represented New York’s 12th congressional district for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. Early on in her Congressional term, Chisholm was first assigned to the House Agriculture Committee. She soon found more relevant committee assignments that would better serve her constituents, where she worked to expand the food stamp program and help to create the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Legislation she introduced also focused on gender and racial equality, and ending the Vietnam War. In 1971, she became a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
In the 1972 United States presidential election, she became the first Black candidate to seek a major party’s nomination for President of the United States, and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. After the unsuccessful bid for President, Chisholm continued serving in the House of Representatives. In 1977, she was elected as Secretary of the House Democratic Caucus. Chisholm retired from Congress in 1983, where she was succeeded by Major Owens. In 2015, Chisholm was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
