Welcome to my group. I form this page for individuals to share what makes you unique ( Personality, Social, Class, Style, Beliefs, and Persona ). I've been through challenges in my life, but by the grace of God I've overcome them. There are many that are going through something or have gone through something, and sharing it may help other's. I was born in the Ghetto of Brooklyn New York. Been on my own since I was 14 yrs old. All I knew was the streets. Life was cruel, lonely, dangerously and I was very poor. I met a wonderful women that helped me; so now I help others.  She encouraged me to become a model which I just retired on 6/09. I got my BA in Sociology to help, encourage, and empower others; mainly women.  Had bad relationships, as well as good ones. Been physically and emotionally abused, but overcame them for one must not dwell, but restore their self worth, There are many ordeals that many had gone through and never expressed them; join and share. We black women are the backbone of our family. We are Lady's of Distinction. Black men should with must respect how we have it as well as they have it with society. Hope to get some real feedback, and let's share..smile Please no profanity or bashing.
