Conversations with me require RESPECT. Come correct and we can discuss anything. I'm someone's mother. Everything about me juxtaposes everything else and I'm fine with that. I had swag when they called it PERSONALITY. I work as a step teacher/mentor for the Step in Schools Foundation/ Girls Inc. and am currently building a social media movement dedicated to young people of color. Our children need to know that even though the deck is stacked against them, there's nothing they can't do. Seek knowledge and discover power. #WatchMeProgress
