April Gabrielle, a counselor/mediator and single mom, shares her personal story of raising two children in a broken home and encourages us that successful parenting can still take place whatever the circumstances. Through her own experiences and lessons learned throughout her career, Gabrielle offers a clear and practical approach to the world of single parenting. As a single parent who is Black, one of Gabrielle's greatest concerns is the absence of the father in the African American community. Although this is a huge issue in the African American community, Gabrielle feels that no one has stepped up and offered a solution.
