As a columnist on HipHopGivesBack.org (I have a regular column entitled This Woman’s Work- Thoughts & Randomness From An Insightful Chick), I write about causes, problems, solutions, and other important topics which affect the community and the world around us.

It’s gotten better…but I’ve got a ways to go.
