I grew up with all the regional and cultural influences of the Southernmost part of the Missouri Ozarks. It has been a difficult journey of growth and self discovery. I asked, hard and forbidden questions. The process of growth is continuous.
Education and access to accurate information through research has been a major privilege.
To the caretakers, educators, therapists, mentors and supervisors that helped me along the way. Thank you for your wisdom, acceptance, kindness and understanding.
