"I was a part of GODDESS Mentoring Inc. with Ms. Teirra Scott and it was a girls mentoring group. It taught me a lot about myself and my community. We would meet and talk about things, there were some things I wasn’t comfortable with talking about with people at home. Doing so, helped me find myself and understand more of who I am." - Jhene Thomas A huge part of Black History is community. And that is being kept alive and well present. Today for Black history Month we celebrate the gift community and going further together!
