This a great discussion.
My hometown doesn't have J&J, but we do have a similar org, which was actually co-founded by a Past National President of Delta Sigma Theta. It was very much an "elite" organization, and it was well known that only girls from certain families would be invited to join. My parents were from the ghetto, and not from my hometown, so I guess we (or should I say I) wasn't good enough. Even though I'm one generation from the projects, I feel like I'm doing good to be only 24 with 2 degrees and a job that I love.
Who knows, maybe when I grow up and get married and have kids, maybe I'll be cool enough to be invited to J&J.
