I'm Here to Learn and Grow: Onita on Stepping into Advocacy and Making the Best of a Life She Didn't Choose (Part 2)

A year after submitting a poem and painting to a national journal, Onita found herself keynoting a conference of hundreds of professionals. In part two of our conversation, she talks about saying yes despite the imposter syndrome, stepping into a classroom as a college professor, and the fictional daughter she wrote for Paul Lawrence Dunbar as a way to honor two writers who came before her. She closes on hope, two of her three children pursuing what they love, her new grandbaby, Skylah's recent gifted identification, and what she wants her family to carry when she is gone.Learn more about the Public Children Services Association of Ohio and the work Mike & Ashley are doing at https://www.pcsao.org.Onita gave us their full permission to share their story in this format.
