Although her grades haven t suffered during the pandemic, Shekinah Glory Peter Mba, like many students, knew she wasn t feeling well.
She has endured episodes of depression. It was bad, honestly, said Peter Mba, a junior at East Orange High School. This is probably the worst year ever. I realized all throughout my life, I was using school as an escape. Having that taken away from me has not been easy to cope.
Then there was the constant drumbeat of disturbing news. For Peter Mba, the murder of 33-year-old Sarah Everard by an officer of the London Metropolitan Police was an emotional blow.

(EAST ORANGE/ORANGE, NJ) - On this last day of Women’s History Month, before the clock strikes 12 midnight, TAPinto wanted to pause from all the Coronavirus news and take the time to highlight women in our communities making a difference.
In honor of the many s-heroes, we have created our second annual “East Orange and Orange 100 Women of Power and Progress” list.
The criteria used to select each woman was as follows: 1. The woman must be a resident of or work in East Orange or Orange. 2. She must use her life and platforms by way of career, volunteerism, social media, etc. to promote positivity, unity, and the uplifting of other women within one of the two municipalities and beyond.
