She comes to the conclusion God is bigger than all the devastating blows that come with living life.The author was one of only two African-Americans to hold an executive title within the Kemper Insurance Co corporation eastern region. 9-11 changed her priorities and now is the founder and executive director of Safe Hugs, a non profit organization for helping women and children that are homeless and victims of domestic violence.
