Harlem Ain’t Nothin’ But A Third World Country
My rating was an overall 10 because there was flexibility within the program, that wiggle room was really important to me. I knew before hand that I'm atypical client, and so wasn't surprised at no vibes with some of the other folks there but was pleasantly surprised that it was hassle free for me to go seek out on my own.
Since leaving I'm still working with the folks I met up with there, and probably only now will the work actually grow.
It's too difficult to say recommend, I'm already recommending it certain people, all of Latin Caribbean descent but not so much to my other friends from suburbia.
