We all need mental health days. Not just as women or as mothers or as caregivers. We ALL need to have access to resources that can help us take a step back when we need it. @tracycwrites #IntersectionalAtWork

48 million Americans are family caregivers… “We need supports in place for people who are caring for the people that they love.”@StaciAlexander

It’s not just personal when caregivers go unsupported, it’s costly to society. Our economy is being robbed when employers fail to provide their workers support. @StaciAlexander @AARP #IntersectionalAtWork

@FifthWardMoe @mysikix Thank you. I definitely got some new perspective on the question today. I shall take my several seats. Cheers.

[Michelle D Parrish @msparrishspeaks]

@joeatlarge @mysikix @OrangeVo40 @ZacharyforWard5 Touche. I do see that point. Appreciate the perspective Joe.

@joeatlarge @mysikix @OrangeVo40 @ZacharyforWard5 No but I watched my brother die in his youth because coming out in DC was harder back then and by the time he did, he was gone. The question here is not about coming out. It doesn't seem that anyone is reading the question.

[Michelle D Parrish @msparrishspeaks]

@cadenfabbi @mysikix @OrangeVo40 @ZacharyforWard5 It really isn't. My comments are very specific to the politics involved and has nothing to do with his decision but its easy to overlook that and make it about something else. In no way is the question intended to be offensive.

[Michelle D Parrish @msparrishspeaks]

@KyIeReeder @mysikix @OrangeVo40 @ZacharyforWard5 I think there was.

[Michelle D Parrish @msparrishspeaks]

@FifthWardMoe @mysikix @OrangeVo40 @ZacharyforWard5 @FaithForWard5DC It's unfortunate that my question has been taken out of context and flipped into something less than apporiate. This election season has been terribly divisive on too many fronts. This is one.

[Michelle D Parrish @msparrishspeaks]

@mysikix @OrangeVo40 @ZacharyforWard5 @FaithForWard5DC I'm sorry you misread my comments this way. This is my personal opinion of the statement and while I am not on board with VO, I am concerned about misuse of context and propaganda for personal gain in this round of elections.
