My name is Wansena Spearman and I am a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters. As a Psychology Major, I am constantly challenged to reflect upon my values and cultural identity in relation to those biases and prejudice that I have developed about another race or culture. This is no easy task and requires complete honesty. However,through soul searching and reflection I have come to understand not only self but the soul of another. Subsequently, In using this blog as a platform to gain knowledge about different cultures, my goal is to pose topics that allow each individual to inform the readers about something we may not know about his or her race or culture. The blog is not intended for individuals to criticize or demoralize another individual’s race or cultural values but will focus on gaining insight by uncovering prejudice in order to discover understanding

What am I faced with today?
As 2009 approaches, I have been recycling the last 361 days in preparation for brining in the New Year. Although the past year has been a roller coaster ride of academic achievements, unemployment and marriage woes; I am filled with hope and optimism. I am determined to face the past year—for all it offered—joy, love, disappointments and pains by embracing the power of chose; the power to look in the mirror and be Face 2 Face with the past, present and future. The reflection in the mirror tells a story that cannot be avoided. In facing myself, I willingly sacrifice my pride in order to explore the most intimate details of self.
In bringing in the New Year, are you willing to be Face 2 Face with you?
