So, Thanksgiving is next week and that means a lot of y'all be be out of town but how would you feel about our first Safe Space Social during the weekend next week?

CeCe is a creative and energetic person who, before her life was so unjustly interrupted, was studying fashion at MCTC. She had a stable home where she lived with and helped support four other African American youth, her family.
