About Me
When I Was The Greatest
We’ve literally become a society that judges a book by its cover. The message from the author is that gang involvement and gun violence has a beautiful illusion to the youth in urban communities as a way to be accepted and loved. However underneath it all, is bloodshed, death and…
#Pottymouthprincesses
Domestic Violence and Rape; We all agree these are intolerable and cruel acts that need to be punished. How do we make this known to the masses? Have pre pubescent girls drop F bombs at an exponential rate?? See my thoughts below on a groups attempt to shed light on…

Self Destruction aka “Cutting”
What is with all the cutting? (Technically known as self mutilative behaviors). Has it’s frequency increased tenfold? Or has it always existed at the current prevalence? Why is it dangerous? Does it correlate to suicide? We should spend more time talking about its origin. If we know its origin we…
Senseless 2.0; Building A Psychopath

Senseless in Sandy Hook
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with every member of the community in Newtown, CT. There are no words… We now must be vigilant as a society to end these senseless acts. Step 1: We must gain understanding to why this happened. Unfortunately, this also happens to be the biggest…
