I am a strong woman who hasn't always felt strong. I try to model grace, respect, self love and tolerance for all to my 2 children and everyone around me. I have a 18 year old daughter and a 14 year old son that I am hopefully raising to respect all people. For them to understand & empathize & address social issues that effect the people in our communities and communities across the country and world. I want them to be aware of the injustices in the world and know that those injustices do not reflect on their self worth. I want them to stand with others to support & encourage change.
