Sorry for the hiatus in posting. The holidays, work commitments and family time took me away from this blog.
Recently, a reader sent me a message to warn me to be careful because Breaking Free can be a vindictive organization. Don't I, and so many others who have been involved with Breaking Free know it. At this time it's not wise for me to keep this blog under my real name. As you will see, there is very little that Vednita Carter and some Breaking Free staff won't do to keep word from getting out about the organization's unethical and damaging practices.
In the spring of 2015 a group of former Breaking Free staff, board members, volunteers and organizational partners wrote a letter to some of Breaking Free's funders and other partners. The letter accused Breaking Free of numerous forms of wrongdoing. I will post the entire letter at some point in the future but at this point I only want to excerpt the section of the letter that discusses the retaliation against those who speak out against Breaking Free face.
I was not involved in the writing of the 2015 letter at any point but I received a copy of it from a trusted source within Breaking Free shortly after it was released. I have redacted the names of those who were not accused of any major wrongdoing in the letter.
