After me. Urban Survivors wasn’t the best allyship program for me couldn’t read the logos or pamphlets! Not a lot of routines in my time and elephant tranquilizer I guessed about 4 years ago. Love the follow up.

I was never an ally to begin with. I had to steak a claim in what I thought was not up to standard. The insufficient data Ripples throughout the hierarchy, as the organizations tell me it’s the furthest from hierarchy. And the info was still further from results with any accuracy
