One of my dearest friends has a story similar to your daughter’s, only as a single-mom, (due to a deadbeat dad), she managed to raise her 4 black sons as a young mom, going back and forth to hairdresser school on the bus, while her Mom watched her young kids, having to battle almost daily against a public school system which continuously tried to keep her sons down, getting them involved in sports teams to keep them out of trouble, and eventually becoming a partner in a salon with her friend, establishing a moderate yet comfortable life for her and her family.

She and her salon partner also bravely stood up against the Covid mandate fearmania, and refused to force masks or other nonsense upon their salon’s clientele. They lost some clients then, but most have come back now!

All her sons are grown now, and men of extraordinary character, and she is even a proud member of the “Grandparents Club”.

She is one of the kindest, most generous, just and God-fearing women I know, and my absolute hero. She humbles me with her life story.

Your friend’s daughter is one of today’s true “unknown” heroes. She’s a hero for overcoming two government programs that tried to “keep her in her place” instead of succeeding.

For two years in my early career I was a case worker making home calls in the largest welfare district in my county. I learned that the dads disappeared when the government gave mom aid and food stamps, negating the need for a breadwinner in the home. It was barely a living wage, if that. It was almost impossible to break those chains of welfare slavery the government created and shattered the families on the program. (BTW: my district case load had more white families than minority families so this isn’t a race issue).

The second government attempt to put your friend’s daughter back in her place was the obscene, criminal, unconstitutional COVID rules that had NO BASIS in science. It was about control and destruction.

Your friend’s daughter IS A HERO. She overcame two attempts on her family’s life and survival.

Encourage her to write a book.
