VOCATIONAL SUCCESS
Ian M. did a fantastic job working on the Meals on Wheels mailing. He set a goal to complete 100 mailings during his 30-minute shift. Not only did he achieve this goal, but each envelope was completed perfectly with the letter folded properly, the insert placed correctly, and the address visible through the window Attention to detail is an important vocational skill and Ian certainly has demonstrated it! That's a job well done, Ian!

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Morenike Giwa Onaiwu is an American researcher and educator who advocates for Autism and HIV. Born to immigrant parents in the United States, she felt that her symptoms of Autism were initially misinterpreted as signs of "a Black person trying to fit into the white environment." Morenike's experience led her to become the co-editor of All the Weight of Our Dreams, an anthology of art and writing created entirely by Autistic people of color. In addition to her Autism and HIV advocacy, she's involved in learning through technology, research, gender, disability, and racial equity. Another example of a Black hero making a tremendous impact on history.

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Dr. Lamar Hardwick, a best-selling author and pastor, was formally diagnosed with Autism at 36 years old. After years of struggling with social anxiety, he developed coping strategies to help him blend into social settings. While completing a doctoral degree, he realized that he wasn't picking up on social cues, so he sought an Autism evaluation and received his diagnosis. He went on to become a best-selling author with his book "I Am Strong: The Life and Journey of an Autistic Pastor." In addition to presenting workshops and seminars, he consults with churches, faith-based organizations, and schools regarding the development of Autism-friendly environments. Dr. Hardwick's inspirational accomplishments and ongoing work mentoring teens and young adults with Autism make him a Black History Month hero.
