It's been a busy day but I couldn't let it pass without sending out a huge thank you to Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange for recognizing my work with my platform, Hiding In Plain Sight- and proclaiming February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month in the City of Montgomery. I am so blessed to have such great community support.
