Member Of The Month

BRUH WIZDOM

It was 2012 when I got the phone call. The voice on the other end would tell me about
a new organization being put together with a few others I had become acquainted with
a year prior.

At the time I was still heavy into what I will refer to as a nonsensical time in my life.
Still out trying to ―hustle‖ in and out of jail not taking accountability just grown in age
and hard headed as a brick wall.

The idea of this while joining an organization to further myself mentally spiritually and
emotionally was a complete eye roll but little did I know this phone call and the deci-
sions I made after would of course change my life as with any real decision. The
pledge process for any procrastinator started slow, but with time I became engaged
opened up began to learn and accept that if others can see greatness in me I too can
see it in myself. A long list of statistics hit me early in life so confirming to that train of
thought was regular and not something I seen a problem with. That there was the
problem. Upon crossing I was given the name Wizdom which has always been one of
my greatest honors to know that my peers respect my mental just that much. Over the
course of the last 6 years my organization has given me my own personal accountabil-
ity system a sense of camaraderie a family that I was chosen to be apart of. My bruhs
have helped me become and continue to be a better me striving to always be the best
example of myself to uplift and create a space for those in need to feel comfort in
shedding the self that holds them back. Its of no use to the community to be of the
wrong mind and extend any helping hand that does not have the right energy behind it,
which is how I consciously approach each day how can I be of service and am I first
being of service to myself. Like my line I am thoroughly committed to succeed through
and through. I owe a lot of my growth to this organization who has stood by me when I
fell back into the streets to me losing my mother last year my bruhs have been diligent
and their support and I honor that by continuing to grow and set the right examples at
all times.

Aja Owens

I don't fit the image
I don't match the mold
But, if you look beyond my clothes
And see inside my soul
There you will behold
The elements of a queen

Equip to survive
Ride the tides

And weather any storm
And Ain't I A Woman

Or must you see me bare
To get your validation

Should I expose my scars
When I nurture generations
And carry nations on my back
I don't need rely on any man
We fight this fight together

Yes, I am a woman
And the universe knows my name

I represent all warrior women
I exist because of them.

Black Single Mothers and the Child Welfare System examines the struggles women of color face in working with the
child welfare system and how social workers who investigate childhood abuse and neglect can effect positive change.
This book addresses intersectionality and ideological, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized oppression and how it
affects the safety, permanence, and well-being of children. Through research and case examples, the reader will be im-
mersed in a historical perspective of oppression faced by black single mothers involved with social service systems, ex-
amine ways oppression plays out in child welfare supports and services, and discover new integrated methods of ad-
dressing oppression.
