I am not a therapist nor do I play one on the Internet. I do not center men on this account. I center Black women and girls ONLY. For obvious reasons. My advocacy is reserved for us. Thank you for your time and consideration.

A few months ago, an organization @ Harvard University reached out & asked me to speak on a panel for them. They said there was no honorarium. I told them "I cannot afford to take off of my job as a Headstart Teacher to come and do free work for Harvard Univerity."
