Just Your Average Black Woman Going Through Life
I am an ally for all human life. I am bothered when acts of violence are done to anyone. Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It’s a day started over 20 years ago for Rita Hester. Hester was a transgender woman stabbed to death in 1998. Her murder remains unsolved. Across the world, there…
There are never enough hours in a day when you have time off from work. But for some reason when you are at work, time stands still. I don’t know if it’s everywhere, but here in the U.S. many of us have our 2 days off from work on Saturdays and Sundays. In this…
