I am a Christian, grandmother, and mom.  A product of an immigrant parent, who had many predicaments involving acculturation and traumatic experiences. It has shaped and strengthened my view of relationships and an awareness of cultural diversity. I am a survivor of domestic violence. Raising my children as a single parent, has provided a greater understanding of the plight of the African American experience.
