'Here’s Our Child, Where’s The Village?' conveys that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish as happy, thriving and free spirited people regardless of race and the displacement factors governing their lives. The question isn’t 'Here’s Our Child, Where’s The Village?' The question is whose village will you be?'We must bear each others burdens. Though the village has been replaced by concrete and Roe v. Wade, there remains innocent children deserving of love and a safe haven. They may be parentless, but they are not Godless...' -Bruce George, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam 'Connecting kids to permanency is paramount.'Stacia C. Hammond- Executive Director/FounderAdoption Support & Consultation Services of Florida, Inc. (ASCS)'It gives me great pleasure to pen the foreword for 'Here’s Our Child; Where’s the Village?' and participate in the efforts of the Gumbo for the Soul project. The joy one gets from a child is indescribable, but something everyone can enjoy in one capacity or another; especially if we believe in the old African Proverb, it takes a village to raise a child'. -Tee C Royal, founder of RAWSISTAZ Literary Group Gumbo for The Soul Publications and logo are registeredtrademarks of Beverly Black Johnson.
