I am very glad you posted this here, I hope many, many people get to read this.
Sometimes we talk about the accomplishments of men and very little about the accomplishments of women of color.
Not only does she take care of herself, she is a gorgeous woman, but she helps wherever is needed. Cheers to her.
Blessed is a soul that has strived to be the best she can be in life.
Mrs. Vera Jackson is a great asset to the Black community and also the white community.
You can be as great as you want if you set your mind to it.
