Now you have all these black educators there, especially the black women there to help them with education 402 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:52,000 Things will put a huge impact on to them because they understand black women understand 403 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,360 Black women know how it is 404 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:03,840 Black women have been there within academics.

Sometimes you need somebody to help you. You need to fight that 414 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,480 You know, you're saying complex and everything like that. Sometimes even your same gender because you know sometimes 415 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,280 Younger females are not going to really want to talk to a male. They need to talk to an older woman 416 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,360 Older females, you know, let help them pay the way understand 417 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:11,840 So I understand that's why I feel like it's my calling to be a social worker and to be in the presence of 418 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,720 Probably middle school or high school kids 419 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:22,000 Children, excuse me because they needed the most especially when middle school because they just got out of high school 420 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800 I mean just kind of elementary school 421 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,280 Preparing for high school.
