Monica May's Point Of View

Every Sunday morning, 'Monica May's Point Of View' will feature conversations built on hot topics and issues concerning African Americans. Local and national guests will share their points of view as well.

TOTAL CHANGING OF THE GUARD IN LAW ENFORCEMENT – WHAT THAT MEANS FOR OUR COMMUNITY

City of Ocoee Police Chief Vince Ogburn, Sr. joined the force 5 years ago as Deputy Chief before being appointed as the 1st African American. Chief Ogburn, a native New Yorker also served in the U.S. Navy, as a State Trooper for Florida Highway Patrol and was an Orlando Police Officer for 23 years before retiring. While he is very aware of the racial history of Ocoee, he encourages his team to lead with integrity and be servants to the community. Leading with an “open door policy,” Chief says they are hiring and looks for more African Americans and women especially to join the team. In her role currently serving as Deputy Chief of the Apopka Police force, Dr. Lovetta Quinn-Henry brings 30 years of criminal justice experience as she gets ready to move into her role as Chief in November. Defined as a visionary leader, Dr. Quinn-Henry exemplifies dedication to her field and welcomes the opportunity to continue serving the Apopka community. Like Chief Ogburn, they welcome community interaction and look to serve their community with integrity and transparency. As former Chief of Corrections for the Orange County Jail, Cornita Riley managed the fourth largest facility in Florida overseeing 30,000 bookings annually. Riley has been recognized for her compassionate and reform-minded approach to the inmates and those in facility operations. Now the Central Florida President of NOBLE (National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives), Riley wants to reestablish the organization and continue to engage the community about law enforcement.

FORMER ORLANDO FIRE CHIEF RODERICK WILLIAMS SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT/HOMETOWN HERO BUILDS A MEDICAL FACILITY/BRIDGE BUILDERS EVENT/MEN’S HEALTH SUMMIT/COMMUNITY ACTIVATION

After almost a decade a jury found former Orlando Fire Chief Roderick Williams, not guilty and cleared him of all sexual and racial discrimination allegations. He had his name cleared after being dismissed by the department over 8 years ago. Chief Williams wants to now develop education for others in this same situation and help them remain steadfast in protecting their character. Alonzo Mitchell and James Benjamin with Bridge Builder Foundation invited those who were formerly incarcerated to the “Freedom Fest” Saturday June 28th 11am – 2pm at the Denton Johnson Community Center in Eatonville.

Other agencies expected to be on site include the Clerk of the Court, the public Defender’s office, Second Chance employers, FRRC and Florida Rising. Call 407/283-4351 for more information Sherwin Lewis of Black-Tie Management spoke on behalf of Kerby Joseph, Detroit Lions Safety about his “Zupa Weekend of Events.” The former Jones H.S. football player’s story is one worth sharing. He was not slated to go off to college but was picked up by Illinois University. While there, he sat on the bench for 3 years before finally being given a chance – then put on the field as a receiver…when he finally played Safety, he excelled, and the rest is history. Though he was the 97th draft option in the NFL, Joseph has become the highest paid safety to play in the game. The 24 year old was welcomed back home to Orlando this weekend to be given the Key to the City, host a fitness day for the community at Jones H.S. and open a new medical facility in honor of his mother who suffered a stroke. 2ND Annual “Fully Alive Health Summit” is Saturday June 28th at the Center for Health & Well Being 2005 Mizell Avenue in Winter Park from 10am – 3pm.

STOPPING STIGMA: IN BLACK FATHERHOOD, IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND IN MENTAL HEALTH

Young Fathers of Central Florida Executive Director, Haki Nkrumah and Qwazay Crawford discussed all the programs they offer in support of fathers 12-24. The non-profit guides dads through mentoring, employment and family mediation. They also present Fatherhood Week Events starting June 9th – 14th at the Callahan and Grand Avenue Community Centers. To find out more about the event and the programs offered visit their website www.youngfathersofcentralflorida.com or email youngfathersofcentralflorida@gmail.com Visit their office at 527 N. Mills Avenue in Orlando or call 407/286-4320. Come Out With Pride is a local organization that hosts the largest Pride Parade in the Southeast (Oct. 18th @ Lake Eola). Their support for the LGBTQ community includes the upcoming Juneteenth Celebration at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. “Love and Liberation” will be Saturday June 21st with the goal of pointing out that a person can be LGBTQ and still celebrate their black heritage. Note: Pride Month was started in June 1970 after the 1969 raid of the famous Stonewall nightclub in New York city. Many were injured or killed in the melee, but it was noted that a black trans woman spoke up asking, “So what are we going to do?” Hence the start of the Come Out With Pride movement. However, it wasn’t until former President Bill Clinton and later Barack Obama acknowledged the month officially. In our discussion we also talked about the suicide rate for people in the LGBTQ community because of ostracism…..if you or someone you know is thinking of suicide, please call 988. For more information about all their upcoming events (Family Trans Picnic – September 8th, Trans Day of Visibility in March 2026, etc.) visit www.comeoutwithpride.org Discussing the Stigma of Mental Health, Dr. Letitia Brown-James who has two companies to treat those in need, reminded us it is time to fight the shame, stigma, and fear of judgment of reaching out for mental health assistance. She said that our Body, Mind & Spirit must be in alignment for our mental health to balance. She gave simple daily remedies to do intentionally; read, move, talk to a friend, eat a snack, enjoy the sunshine, sing, or dance. When that doesn’t help, seeing a therapist might work and you should do so without stigma. Dr. Brown-James reminded us that kids who become silent, easily agitated, or isolated may be struggling with their mental health. If you have insurance call her Victorious Living Counseling service at 321/209-8219 ext. 1 or if you don’t have insurance call LBJ Behavioral Services 407/368-9848 ext. 1 The National Suicide Hotline 988 – Or Text the word HOME to 741741- Both lines are FREE and Confidential
