The word "disparity" is often frowned upon, as if when coupled with the "race" it automatically means less than.  The truth is disparity is the texture in a patched fabric that is unraveling with each injustice. Dr. Chin talks about the teacher who raised her awareness and the statistics uncovering systems that fuel economic, social, financial, health and educational disparities in the African American community.   As a professor at Duke with a love for cultures,  Dr Chin is hopeful as her students are having difficult conversations with traditional thinking parents to bring awareness. "Black lives do matter!"   Listen as she shares her personal shift, her call to go against the norm, and the need for action.

Bold Significance brings guests to the forum to explore the colors and shapes of boldness to encourage other women to dare to be boldly brilliant.   We may cry. We will laugh. We will groan as we are reminded of the limited beliefs and masked messages that color thought patterns.  Then we exhale as we are inspired to embrace our created purpose. Join us on our journey of growth and awareness with each conversation. One conversation at a time -- one changed action at a time.

On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States - more than 10 million women and men (ncadv.org).  But do you know the silent threat?  Psychological abuse.  Psychological abuse involves trauma to the victim caused by verbal abuse, acts, threats of acts, or coercive tactics. Perpetrators use psychological abuse to control, terrorize, and denigrate their victims (ncadv.org).  Yes victims.  Our featured guest, Sheryl Patton-Dandridge brings a bold fragrance as she shares her bold story with domestic violence - communicating with transparency and hope.   We cannot afford to ignore the soul's cry or  be less...live less than our God given right.  So let's begin the conversation.  Lean in.  Listen with open hearts and minds.  We invite you to message us to give us your point of view, gain understanding and get help as we grow together.
