ABOUT THE BOYFRIEND SCHOOL

After over two decades of listening and providing relationship guidance to singles, couples, spouses, and the newly singled, Shalina J. Akins began to notice patterns in communication chasms, divergent behavior, and muddled understanding of motivation, that have contributed to the loneliness epidemic taking the world by storm.
