Happy 26th Birthday Armani!!! You are forever my " Happy 26th Birthday Armani!!! You are forever my "sonshine". I love you and miss you so much and to think the last time I hugged was during the holidays last year. SMH...Then I’m reminded of all that you have accomplished since being in Europe. You’ve defended your master’s degree, you were hired for an internship and moved in the middle of a pandemic from Paris to Amsterdam and now you’re working directly with one of fashion’s most talented couture designers in the world. Everywhere you go you create a circle of associates and you strive for excellence in everything you do. Im so incredibly proud of you. I thank God for blessing you and I pray all your dreams come to fruition! I love and miss you!!! Better days are ahead, but you have so many reasons to be joyful today!❤️

I had the opportunity to join the November 10, 202 I had the opportunity to join the November 10, 2020 episode of the Podcast – Kitchen Table Talks: Navigating the Bars Beyond the Cage and share my story and thoughts on the importance of centering the lives and plight and Black women and girls, mental health, self worth, reentry for women after incarceration and many other things. The episode focus: The threads that weave the human story of mass incarceration of women are complex, often tangled in a legacy of abuse and injustice behind and beyond the prison walls. The tropes and caricatures are so different from the limitations confronting men. They follow formerly incarcerated women into the “free world” as they confront intractable barriers to economic and civic engagement that defy the notion of “returning citizens.” This episode, voiced by women with lived experiences inside the cage, explores needs beyond the profoundly broken and unsustainable system. The episode is available on the @suffrageunerased website, Apple #Podcasts and other podcast platforms. Artwork: Navigating the Bars Beyond the Cage Artwork Source: Suffrage. Race. Power.
