Guys my borough asked me to run a camping trip exclusive to black women who have recently left the prison system because they& #39;re trying to get recent offenders into retreats and residential trips. Many of the women have never left their area, let alone left the city https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😩" title="Weary face" aria-label="Emoji: Weary face">

I& #39;m in negotiations but it looks like they& #39;re gonna let me take the lead on this project and work directly with black women who have experienced the prison system to curate an outdoor retreat for them and they& #39;re gonna fund the whole thing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> my heart is so full

This is what& #39;s important to me. Not only who I am but also how I serve my community. I& #39;m so happy I was approached for this opportunity!!

I& #39;m also so pleased I get to do this work in Brent, where I& #39;m from, where I grew up. I feel so overlooked coming from this borough and I just want the BW who come from my area to know they deserve MORE!!
