Real Talk – Bridging the Divide between Black and White Women

I strongly urge you to take 30 minutes and watch this video of Red Table Talk led by Jada Pinkett Smith.  Just wow.  We have a long way to go to build a bridge over the historical hurt and shame that has existed for some many years between black and white women – but now is the time ladies!  It is a difficult conversation, and many of us feel as if we don’t have the tools.  But we need to find them.  This conversation may help everyone get started!!
