I’ve known this remarkable woman since we were young in college. NOTHING that she has accomplished would exist for her without her tenacity, preparation, discernment, spiritual and intellectual growth and alignment with her ancestors, her present path and her ordered steps ahead of her.
She is a dear friend and she gave me such a heart warming introduction for my @busboysandpoets feature last month.
Dr. @rebeccadupas ! You dope or whatever. lol. Thank you 😊.
You’re already a great Mommy!
