Discrimination is pervasive and is disguised throughout our days so cleverly that often it moves sight unseen, chipping away at the hearts of its victims, changing who they are and who they might have become without its’ presence.Like you, I have witnessed it more time...

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the word resilience.  When a person experiences challenging circumstances and is able to recover quickly, we view them as tough or hardy with an extra dose of the rebound gene, a quality we admire.
