Backstory Behind Stephanie and Guest
I met Jamila at the Relational Center. We were in a women’s group meeting and she said something like, “White women need show their anger more.” And I thought, damn straight they do. Jamila does not mess around. She is direct in the best way possible, you never have to guess where she is going or what she is thinking about. She is always the much needed burst of energy in the room. Always present and in the now. – Stephanie Michele
