I was blessed to be able to cross off another item from my travel bucket list when I attended the Rotary International Convention in Melbourne, Australia, recently. It was an outstanding convention attended by thousands of Rotarians from around the world. In
addition to hearing outstanding speakers and visiting exhibits on international service projects, I met many fellow Rotarians from other countries. My sister, Brownie, and I were also able to spend some time touring places of interest in Melbourne and Syndey.

Good afternoon State Farm Family! We are continuing our Black History month highlights with another staff pick. Ruby Miller State Farm team member Marysha chose Grammy Award winning vocalist Jessye Norman. Marysha was inspired by Norman’s powerful performances (Specifically her performance as Dido in Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas!) and her refusal to be restricted to one range of voice. Norman famously said “As for my voice, it cannot be categorized - and I like it that way...”

Born in 1945 in Augusta, GA, Jessye Norman began singing publicly at age 4. She credits her introduction to opera to weekly Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts featuring popular artists, including trailblazing black vocalists Marian Anderson and Leontyne Price. Norman received vocal coaching throughout her childhood, and during her studies at Howard University, The Peabody Conservatory, and the University of Michigan. Over her more than 46 year career, Norman received numerous awards and recognitions. She performed for two Presidential inaugurations, Reagan in 1985 and Clinton in 1997. Norman was also invited to sing for Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th birthday in 1986, the 1996 Summer Olympics, and the unveiling of the monumental columns of light at the World Trade Center site in 2002. In 2009 she was awarded the nation’s highest honor for artistic excellence, The National Medal of Arts. Jessye Norman continued to perform until 2015 when she suffered a spinal chord injury that led to her death in 2019.

Video of Norman performing “Dido’s Lament” from “Dido and Aeneas” is available on YouTube.

Good afternoon State Farm family! Today’s Black History Month feature is William Kamkwamba, and was chosen by Ruby Miller State Farm staff member Sam. Sam was inspired by Mr Kamkwamba’s story of ingenuity in the face of adversity.

William Kamkwamba is a Malawian inventor and author. His family made their living as farmers while he attended school, until a devastating famine forced him to drop out. Determined to finish his education, Mr Kamkwamba continued to study on his own at the local library. In 2001 he built a wind turbine to power his family’s remote home using scrapyard metal, bicycle parts, and blue gum trees. This incredible accomplishment brought him international attention, and scholarships! Mr. Kamkwamba turned his story into an award winning book, “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind”, that has since been adapted for film. The 2019 adaptation is available on Netflix.

Good afternoon State Farm Family!! Today we are highlighting American designer Ann Lowe. Throughought her career, Lowe created beautiful gowns for notable public figures like former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and actress Olivia de Haviland. Despite being in high demand as a designer, Lowe did not receive widespread public acclaim for her designs until the end of her working years. In fact, she was often underpaid by her wealthy clientele, and never achieved financial success. Still, she continued to follow her dreams and created until her retirement at the age of 74. Today several collections of her work can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Black History Month is a time to listen, share and be inspired to do more. We believe there’s no better way to create change than learning from our past.
