@bijouxbroussard Just doing a bit more reading about her and wanted to add this. After all her years of fame and fortune she never forgot where she came from and what/who is truly important. A remarkable woman.

In 1995, Parton began her Imagination Library project, which sent an age-appropriate book to every child in the county every month until they were five. “My father could not read and write, and I saw how crippling that could be,” she explained. It expanded nationwide in 2000, internationally in 2006, and 40m books are now distributed each year across the US, Canada, Australia, the UK and Ireland.
In 2022, Parton explained that as well as improving child literacy, “it’s the fact they get recognized. They get this little book with their little name on it in the mail, and they feel special. They start taking pride in themselves, and they know that somebody out there is thinking of [them].”

@bijouxbroussard I've been reading and hearing a lot about her philanthropic activities since she passed away. It's almost breathtaking how extensive her endeavors were. Some of them I didn't even know about until now.
Good to see you too. I missed being here. 😎
