		<description>Thanks for posting this. Tooting your own horn can be difficult because it is directly opposite of what we are often taught as women, and especially black women. But when what we have to offer will help others... to not showcase that effort we are even further limiting our sisters from the possibilities that exist. 

Brava girl!</description>
