⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE
We have been made aware that a fake Facebook profile pretending to be Dione Sims for Congress has been created.
This account is NOT affiliated with me or the campaign.
Please do not respond to messages or friend requests from that profile.
We have reported the account to Facebook and ask our supporters to report the fake profile as impersonation so it can be removed quickly.
The only official account is the one above
Thank you for helping protect our community from misinformation
The love of a big brother manifests itself in many ways.
Today my brother Joe Kool J Roland continued his ardent support of Dione Sims for Congress by poll greeting today to encourage people to "vote for his sisterÄş" as they entered.
We missed to place signs there so he went home and got his two signs before I could get there with more.
Love is an action verb.
Love gets out the vote.
Love does whatever it can to support.
Thank you big brother

Our Miss Unity is also a member of the Paschal Color Guard and it was Homecoming. Outside the Miss Juneteenthdfw Scholarship Pageant, Lonnie Lee Chafer is a beautiful example of Freedom365 in action. Proud mom Gp Chafer was there too.
Back in Cincinnati to receive another honor for Dr. Opal Lee from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. It is a privilege to represent her legacy at home and away.
Just finished the first mum of the CLASS of 2029 for my niece Meghan. Thanks for the help of Kreative Tingz Robyn Sims Jonett Mobley Shardae Walker-Simpkins as we knocked this out in 1 day because Homecoming is THIS FRIDAY.
Getting ready to work on Brandyn's boutonniere for PHS.
Retail value $280 back in 1986 when I graduated. Not sure what the loaded ones go for nowadays. SMH
Freedom365 in action on the first day of school 2025. The right to a good education for everyone is a mark of our freedom and something we can't take for granted. Let's help with homework and making sure our kids are ready to face each day prepared to do their best. Let's support the teachers who give so much of themselves sometimes crippled by policies that take power from them to teach a full well-rounded subject. This is a new season with new rules to navigate, but don't forget the power of your voice.
