WACO, TX â Alexandra Price is no stranger to motherhood.
She has two daughters of her own and even writes for Waco Mom s Blog giving her insight on what raising two daughters is really like. You re enough, you are enough, but you should demand more, Price said. You need to tell the people around you that you need to be taken care of too.
She even takes advice from others because as you may know, it takes a village to raise a baby.

Black and Latino clergy in Bridgeport, Connecticut, rolled up their sleeves and got their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday.
The group of nine were led by Carl McCluster, the senior pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church. He had a message for members of his community hesitant about the vaccine.
“Choose to be paranoid or choose to face the facts. Not getting the vaccine is putting yourself at mortal danger right now,” he said.
State figures show only 6.9% of Connecticut’s Black and Latinx residents had taken their first shot of the vaccine. That’s compared to 16% of white residents.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (KFVS) - Gov. Andy Beshear and Louisville NAACP leaders came together on Feb. 26 to discuss vaccine hesitancy.
“After meeting and listening to community leaders, we have learned that Kentuckians want to see and hear from people trusted in their respective communities about why it’s important to take the COVID vaccine,” Gov. Beshear said. “Today, we thank the NAACP for hosting this event that encourages Black Kentuckians to roll up their sleeves to take their shot of hope.”
