“How do you tell a black woman, raising a son isn’t some type of inside joke …snickering at the soul of a single parent mother, dressing her son for graduation hoping he can make it across the stage, down the aisles or off the balcony quick enough to not be caught in his skin at the wrong time.” – Jasmine Mans
