Mainstream conceptions of social work usually consider it to fall within the framework of particular legal and societal contexts. As such, it is presented with boundaries for legitimate action even as it espouses principles that may require it to challenge these boundaries. How does one do social work in legal and societal contexts that challenge these principles with institutional and state-mandated exclusion and discrimination? Should social workers simply act within the bounds of the law in line with their professional sanction and mandate?

Women have a secret set of powers when it comes to manifesting. I realized women are the original portals for manifesting. A spirit comes from another reality, lives in a woman's body, and then becomes a physical reality. With that, comes codes for manifesting that are written into the DNA of our bodies.
