Karen Earl, and volunteers like the incomparable
Ingrid Roberts and the entire staff of amazing men and women continue the legacy of being each other's keepers.
20 years ago, 5 African American women so truly identified with
Fanny Lou Hammer's words,
"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". And these women made a change.
So these 5 women set out to make a difference in the lives of women who had come to realize, as Schinal Walker said during her acceptance speech, "A woman should feel safe in her home."
When Halle Berry introduced Mary J. Blige as the guest performer, we all screamed!
Mary J. Blige, you brought us all to our feet - out of respect and love for you and your amazing voice that carries our emotions in every note.
I repeat, a woman should feel safe in her home. Something to think about. Take a moment to visit The Jenesse Center, Inc., open up your heart and your wallet, won't you?
