On August 26, Charlotte Maxwell Clinic honored Women’s Equality Day by honoring Shirley Chisolm with her statement: "I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman and equally proud of that. I am the candidate of the people and my presence before you symbolizes a new era in American political history." We now do have a new era in American political history with Kama...la Harris as our first female, Black, Indian Vice President. In her speech, Kamala said: while I may be the first woman in this office, I won’t be the last. Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. We look forward to seeing how the possibilities unfold. https://www.charlottemaxwell.org/a-new-era/

They are a quick and easy breakfast that gives an excellent source of vitamin C, Fiber, and Phytonutrients (phytonutrients help prevent chronic diseases, including cancer). Cranberries have proanthocyanidins (which demonstrate selective cytotoxicity toward several cancer cells) and that can act as antioxidants. The apples, cranberries, flax seeds, and oats add an additional amount of fiber, t...hat helps with bowel irregularities and weight management. This extra fiber in the diet can aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
