In this episode I share an excerpt from my unpublished book "All That is Good".
While it is common practice in the Black community for children to be raised by extended family members, studies show that children who experience life with absent biological parents drop out of high school, with 40% being Black female students. Meanwhile, all females, especially Black females need to hear more stories about Black women who have overcome obstacles to achieve educational, personal and professional goals to help inspire wisdom and resilience.
Chapter 4 explains how after high school, my gap year in Texas resulted in my return to Kentucky. But without any clear direction on what to do next the encouragement of my good friend Allison lead me to enroll in Western Kentucky University. Meanwhile Chapter 5 provides insight on how I coped with the loss of my Great-grandfather through more sex, more drugs and more alcohol. And Chapter 6 highlights my layered responsibility of taking care of everything and everybody, while becoming aware that I need to take better care of my if I hope to make improvement for my wellbeing. This is the time start intentionally writing in my journal and I share my journal entry from 03/09/1998.
