I wore a hat of that of a wife of 15 years (husband passed 9-7-2021), mother, education advocate, writer, activist, doavist, writervist, parent educator, and an agitator opposing legislated education malpractice and curriculum discrimination within our inner cities.

My professional mentors are Mary McCleod Bethune, Marva Collins, and Mamie Till Mobley.
