Thank you to the author @doctressstory for this powerful body of work. If you believe in the spirit of "we all we got," this is a book worth reading.

The room was small but beautifully diverse. Different identities, different lived experiences, all in conversation with one another. We left with a deeper sense of community and a clearer understanding of the roles we each must play if we are serious about building a better world.

We gathered. We broke bread. And we spoke honestly about how the book resonated with us and how it reflects the world we are living in right now.

After Watching 'Love Is Blind' Season 10, Maybe Loneliness Is What Men Deserve Love Is Blind has turned into a humiliation ritual for the women contestants. This season left me wondering if the men of Love Is Blind Season 10 can hear themselves when they talk.

This by far has been one of the worst seasons of the show! From the pods, to the trips, to the weddings! This reunion is about to be a mess! ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽฏ
