National Conference on Bullying

I had the honor and the privilege of travelling to Orlando, Florida to participate in the National Conference on Bullying.  I must say that the conference was jammed pack with people that were there and willing to learn. It does my heart good to know that so many people are dedicated to the cause of eradicating bullying. In addition to being a participant in some sections, I had the opportunity to present two sessions of my own, "Black Girl Blues, An Examination of Intra Racial Bullying" and "Yo Momma So, the Dozens and Bullying Culture" Both sessions were jammed packed with people that were ready to get down to the business of helping kids and saving lives.  We were able to enlighten some and validate others about unspoken rules of being young in today's society. I cannot wait to do it again!

Until next time, keep courageously conversing
