Truth, No Lies!

I feel nourished and empowered by the conversations shared. I feel the strength and depth of intellect and social awareness that other platforms neglect just to promote ugly stereotypes and mental lethargy. Congratulations ladies, you are on the path less traveled, but it is the route of Excellence!!!
