When military spouse entrepreneur Melissa Whiteford St. Clair found herself emotionally affected by the rise in social injustice in our country and she dedicated herself to learning more about racism. While participating in the course "On The Matter of Race: White People Committed to Beginning the Journey Together" led by Dr. Lynne Maureen Hurdle Price, poetry became a processing mechanism for her thoughtful reflections and responses to homework assignments through verse.
