I hope you like these quick posts and if you see Shalom in the Wild…Let me know. Yesterday, I listened to three women talk about race. One black. One white with black sons.

Melanie is also the author of two books: Women Are Scary: The Totally Awkward Adventure of Finding Mom Friends and It’s Not Fair: Learning to Love... Read more
