The spring of 2016 was a season of growth and change for RASHAD and for me. My move to the Washington D.C. Metro Area made it necessary for me to work smarter and more creatively while trying to take better advantage of the incredible opportunities that are available in the nation’s capital. This issue of Traditions & Beliefs provides a brief overview of some of the most exciting news from the first five months of 2016. Be sure to visit our website often for more program updates. --RNW
