“My goal is to assist in providing a safe place of healing for my Siblings within the Mid-Atlantic Onyx Pearls chapter,” says Lady Sa'Vage. “Once we can heal, we can then move forward as One Strand United, We as a stronger, chapter can then start to heal relationships and build bridges with other chapters. However the want and drive to heal is up to us as a Chapter.”
