By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor “What’s it like to be a black woman in America?” It would probably take me a whole novel to thoroughly explain my answer to this question.

By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor To me, Black History Month is an exceptional reminder of black excellence. The black community coming together to celebrate each other is a wonderful thing.

Whether your former partner dumps you, you dump them or the breakup is mutual, ending a relationship with someone you truly care about can be painful. Unfortunately, I know this all too well.
