The Blended & Black Facebook live Series kicked off last night. Our inaugural interview was with Simone Spence, The Deadbeat Hunter. Simone has been an active member of the group and she’s made her feelings about parents that skip out on Child Support known. She does not like them very much! This video is packed […]
