A Wise, Wise Woman

In this culture so quick to cancel (and all the permutations that come before that) author Loretta Ross takes us down another road--one of "calling in". A real grown up, Loretta doesn't hide behind a screen screed, take potshots at the Thanksgiving table or whisper behind her hand to a sympathetic listener. She constructively confronts, and creates a dialogue in order to (hopefully) build a bridge, or perhaps just create a moment of thoughtfulness. She has had a life full of challenges, and has come out a beacon of inspiration. I hope someday I can have a fraction of her mature hutzpah and set a good example for my granddaughters. So far, though, nope.
