✨ Grateful. Honored. Inspired.

For over 30 years, I’ve served in Information Technology—supporting institutions like the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Capital One, General Motors, the U.S. Treasury, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

But my true calling has been advocacy in Cybersecurity and Social Media Safety. For the past decade, NBC12 has given me a platform to educate families, and I’ve spent hours in courtrooms standing up for middle and high school students who made life-changing mistakes online.

This month, I was humbled to receive recognition from the Governor of Virginia for my continued work in this space. 🙏🏽

This isn’t the end—it’s a reminder that there is still so much more to do. Together, we can build safer digital spaces for our children, our families, and our communities. 💻🛡️

Unfiltered Access: Teens are bypassing age restrictions on buying e-cigarettes
By: Rachel DePompa and Daniela Molina

Vaping in young people is such an epidemic at this point’
Marcy Thornhill works with both youth and adults through her organization, Kollege and Kareer 4 Youth. She’s concerned that the glamorization of vaping in the media has made it a social norm among children.

“The fruity flavors attract children,” Thornhill said. “They attract young people. They taste good, they smell good, just like we did when we were kids with lip gloss, it tastes like grape, right? It’s the same thing?”

She warns that many products in kids’ hands are unregulated and potentially dangerous.

“The scary part of this is, this is unregulated products,” she said. “These are products that are developed by whomever, wherever, and however... they don’t follow any type of federal guidelines and health standards, and your children are able to purchase them.”

She offered the following advice for parents:

🔸️Check Cash App for unauthorized purchases.
🔸️Be alert to fruity smells in children’s rooms.
🔸️Use online parental controls with keywords like “vape.
🔸️Have open, honest conversations about vaping risks.

The Value of Helping Teens
Empowering the next generation is more than a mission—it's a movement. As the founder and CEO of Kollege and Kareer4 Youth, I know firsthand how transformative support and guidance can be for teens. 🌟

During the 2025 Teen Summit RVA I was afforded the time to inspire, educate, and uplift young minds.

Let's create a future where every teen has the opportunity to succeed and thrive. Together, we can make a difference that echoes for generations to come. 💪✨

🎓College graduation signifies the culmination of years of diligent effort, perseverance, and commitment. 🏆However, for some students, graduation expenses—including caps and gowns, National Honor Society regalia, shoes, and professional attire—present a considerable financial obstacle.

We have identified 10 students (aged 19–30) requiring assistance to graduate this spring from vocational schools with certifications in Certified Nursing Assisting, Phlebotomy, HVAC, and Clinical Medical Assistant programs.

✨️We successfully provided 3 students with caps and gowns, National Honor Society cords, and dress shoes. We extend our gratitude to all donors.✨️

Thank you The Saint Pauls Baptist Church SMB Youth Ministry for inviting me to speak to the youth about Being Mentally Healthy on Social Media.

Our Kids see alot while online and often are not mentally prepared to process. It's important to have the right mindset before jumping into using apps on social media.

VIRTUAL LEARNING FOOD DRIVE
In 2015 KaKY started its 1st campaign "KaKY Kares - LoveRaiser". Our goal was to provide toiletries and snacks to homeless people in Monroe Park. Thanks to the generosity of such agencies as: Target, VCU Health Systems, Wegmans and several people in the community, I was able to give out over 250 bags of toiletries, snacks, water, juice, and more.

Due to COVID-19, we want to help our students that are working to navigate this new virtual learning approach by providing food items. For most families, their primary source of meals during their child's day as school provided breakfast and lunch. Now that they are at home, this could pose a huge financial burden on families. We want o provide these families with non perishable food items such as:Rice, Pasta, Cereal, Individually wrapped snacks, Fruit Cups, Juice boxes and canned goods.
If you have any items you would like to donate, please Inbox me or email to 12kaky@gmail.com.
All donations are tax deductible. The campaign will begin Sep 10th and end Sept 24th (my birthday)

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer." WE ARE FREE!

Educational Attainment, Undergraduate Field of Degree
We ask questions about the highest level of education a person has completed and the field of any completed undergraduate college degrees to create statistics about education.

Local, state, tribal, and federal agencies use education data to measure changes in education over time, evaluate the educational attainment of the workforce, and understand the continuing education needs of adults.
