I attended a fundraiser with Susan L. Taylor and MED (Michael Eric Dyson) that included a talk by them facilitated by my friend Makani Themba. The fundraiser benefitted my center of spiritual living, Heart and Soul Center of Light.

2. We both have been divorced and happily remarried now.

3. We both are mothers.

4. We both are columnists. Her “In the Spirit” is legendary, check out my columns on authory.com/kikimonifa
