G.G. is a survivor, advocate and lover of words. A book judged by the cover far too many times which led to her passion for advocacy of those who may or may not be able to speak for themselves. It was important to her that equality, independent thought and strength be central in her message to each young person she taught and or mentored. Her dedication to breaking cycles swirled through both her personal and professional life. As a true southern belle, G.G. would never speak of her past but never forgot it.
