I love the holiday season, but it is overwhelming and overstimulating. Ready for the new year.

My dad died 16 years ago today. It’s why every year, we open the scholarship applications up for The Perry Second Chances Scholarship on this day.

Everything I do is for women & girls.

But everything that I am is b/c my daddy took in a stranger’s child 31 years ago & loved me w/ all his big heart

A word Americans should know now more than ever:
