This intelligently candid talk with Mrs. Tewantae Green-Douglas is enlightening, empowering and inspiring. Even as an older woman—I am inspired by her words and wisdom! “Culturally we must be a resource to our neighbors” in our communities. And if we don’t do the work—we can’t be an overcomer from those things that would otherwise keep us bound and behind.

We can’t continue to minimize the impact of traumatic experiences—and the necessity of therapy. “The gift of therapy is communication because oftentimes—communication is what we are missing.”

Do the work to be your best—give yourself to cause—and do so unapologetically!
