This is MH! Maybe it seems like something philosophical at first…but it absolutely impacts our MH. Had a busy wknd. Friend was coming in town. Had a friend from college’s daughter’s bat mitzvah on Saturday (a couple where I went to school w both). Then, I got the call on Thursday that my friend’s mom …
In 2018, we did a SameHere Sit-Down w USC.

Today’s SameHere Hero Story: Donna Brown I come from generational trauma, which for me, impacted our young family life when our young, wounded mother departed from our family when we were very young children.
