Susan, publishing Jackie's letter is one of the most important steps in honoring the truth, exposing the overlooked deep pain, framing the UNacknowledged vunerabily, highlighting the accepted invisibility and Unmuting the voice of Black Women! That's what Jackie's "Dear John" letter does for us...I'm a Black Womyn who happens to be her proud Auntie. But that's not what drives my appreciation of her writing and this compelling piece! Go 'head Jackie! Go 'head Susan - I'm going to subscribe sister!

Thank you for sharing this, I am honored to be able to share this platform so this important piece of writing has more visibility.
