Did you know that the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) initially opposed the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968?

But after meeting her biological family she is understanding why she is the way she is. And she is fully stepping into her true nature and who she was born to be.   Connect to Kerri: Website: https://lawlenins.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kerri.drake.9 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livewellwithkerri/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerri-sanford1934/ Complimentary Life Insurance Review: https://calendly.com/lawlenins/30min  Phone: 916-330-4001 Connect to Genea: Website: http://geneabarnes.com/ Book a Call with Genea: https://bookacallwithgenea.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geneabarnes/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@geneabarnes Bio: Kerri Sanford is the Founder and owner of Lawlen Insurance Solutions.
