As a result of her frustration, she and her husband created<strong>\u00a0The Black Parents of Children and Adults with a Disability Support Group (BPSG)<\/strong>\u00a0to provide a safe space for families of African descent to come together to meet and connect, share resources, expertise, and needs, and to inspire and support one another through our unique, challenging, and isolating journey of raising Black children or supporting a sibling of any age with a disability. Today, over 130 families meet on Zoom and connect and share over Facebook.<\/p>\n\n<p>BPSG is a volunteer-run group that meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month via Zoom.
