    It’s been a joy working with you. You ignite, you encourage and you put faith back into women but most of all black women that's walking this journey whether if they are a single mother or married. From your listening ear, to your words of wisdom and discernment when giving guidance; and I can’t forget being that sister from another mother. Truly... Than-you! From the bottom of my heart! 🤎
