BRACING MYSELF, FOR WHAT? By Rayola Kelley
I was recently reading one of my Facebook posts that was four years old. It was about the fact that we needed to brace ourselves. One might ask why must we brace ourselves, but I knew it was in light of the upcoming elections and the unstable issues taking center stage in 2020. I thought […]
