Fashion and Life Satisfaction

I love doing things that give me some sense of happiness in life; that's why I chose to promote women's fashion. Socially, every individual are responsible for their own happiness in life.

Parents of Black male children face great fear due to the threats faced by young Black men. Some Black parents in the GTA, for example, choose to relocate from Toronto to more rural communities with lower crime rates.
