Celebrating Mary Harris and Michelle Dixon-Harris

As my final Black Heritage Monthly posting and continued resistance to the anti-DEI movement in the United States, I am celebrating Mary Harris and Michelle Harris-Dixon. They have been the Heart and Soul of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Southern Nevada for several years. The Mother/Daughter combo has driven our Event Leadership team's spirit over the last few years. Their team, Sisters of the Heart, has raised over $850,000 for Relay over the years and is on the way to being a legacy Team($1 million raised)  with the Relay For Life.  During a recent Little J Gambino variety show here in Las Vegas little J noted how Mary and Michelle made him feel loved and supported with his Cancer Diagnosis and that they were there to help him as well as pointing him to others that provide services to instill Hope.

I consider them part of my family and would do anything they ask of me
