  • The content I create is a reflection, not a production
    I have experienced many kinds of adversities throughout my journey to be the change I want to see; from people supporting me and believing in me to people disparaging me and cursing my name.
    I take it all in stride because even though they don't know my intent, my heart or why I speak up like I do, my mission doesn't stop bevause of other people's lack of understanding about why this person chooses to speak out against any given issue, problem or topic.
    We all have the basic human right to exist in all of our authenticity and even when people are used to bullying people and intimidating people, we have to stand up and fight for what we believe in. Who would we be if we didn't.
    That is all I am demonstrating as a strong minded human being with something I stand for, something I believe in and something I'm willing to fight for.
    It's not just for me. I care about people, I continued parents mission to look out for people who may not be looking out for themselves and I know I am doing God's work along with fulfilling the purpose of my existence.

  • It's not us vs them It's just all of us; How do they rationalize Trump?
    I want to preface this podcast with the fact that I have a lot of white friends. I relate and align with a lot of conservative values like the right to bear arms and the idea that people should work and not expect a handout. When it comes to those ideals we agree.
    I'm pro-life but I'm also pro-choice because I would never take the right to make that decision away from any woman. I don't understand how so many people can do so much moral gymnastics to rationalize why they support a man who displays to the world exactly who he is which is a selfish, self-absorbed overgrown spoiled rich kid who never worked a day in his life, squandered a lot of his daddy's money, bankrupted a casino, has never been even a decent business man and put this entire country into a stranglehold causing a pandemic because he was jealous of Obama and closed the National pandemic response team.
    it's just lunacy to watch him talk about Haitians eating people's pets and not think a whole half of our society have lost their freaking minds if they think the Insurrectionist should lead this country again.

  • Never allow someone to takeaway your ability to discern information
    I made a post the other day on Facebook a couple days ago about how horrible it is for someone to first deceive you, mislead you then blind your eyes so now you blind and cannot see your way forward. It's not your fault. shame on them for taking advantage of trusting people looking to be advocates. They have taken advantage of you.
    That has always been my position when dealing with people continue to walk down this aisle of misdirection and alternative facts. I promise you, I read a lot of the things they assert and it isn't ALL LIES. That's what makes it so hard. It's truth with fiction sprinkled in.

  • Otherizing, transgenderphobia & moms n daughters
    I recorded this with a very heavy heart โค๏ธ it's hard to experience someone who displays an extreme level of disdain for a group of people in general but how people reached to the Olympic boxer wheb they thought she was a transgender female was disgusting. On top of that they were wrong and the aftermath and fallout that has happened as a result of these transphilobic people coming out the woodwork with their prejudice positions is just another reason why we cannot allow close minded ignorant people run this country. it will be a mistake and a complete Segway back possibly all the way back to slavery if we don't stop them now. their quote unquote pretentious Christian values is just a front to try and turn us all into the Duggars with all their cult like pretend happiness.
    We have to remember our history and never repeat the mistakes of this country's forefathers who thought that by creating a society of separatists it would make this country great. it made this country into a nightmare for those who weren't white. People were burned in the streets at the height of those kinds of ideologies. No way can we allow that dark history to creep back into mainstream society.

  • Keep moving forward
    I've been creating content since 2011 and it can be extremely taxing. It's a lot of jumping through hoops to get people to follow and engage. I was watching YouTube and came across a video on Scott Evans' channel with the comedian KevOnStage who was talking about when he started and they were recording on VHS. Wow that was a great while ago but he's a perfect example of what it means to keep pushing forward ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

  • Donald Trump is a clown
    The ignorance of Donald Trump is a complete idiot just based on his interaction at the conference of black journalist. He tried to act as if Kamala positioned herself as Indian and not black but we know through and through that she's always identified as a black woman. I
    It's offensive, insane and just plain ignorant.
    That is nobody I want in office. He's a complete psycho and we have to ensure that someone this ncompetent (who didn't do his research about her ot just wants to blatantly be rude) stays out of our White House.

  • Bringing my backstory to light
    I have a unique story that has taken me on a journey beyond my disability and declared I'm notdisabled, I'm just differentl- abled.. Asthma has plagued me my entire life. I've lived behind a mask of having to struggle for every last breath I take. In the second half century of my soul's physical journey I declare and demand that I will prove to myself that I still have it within me to fight for what believe in and will do so by aby means necessary.

  • convicted felon for President
    It's hard to understand how any convicted felon can run for President. We as a country need to take a hard look at the disparity between the haves and the have not in this society. Are we going to give this man another chance to usurp ultimate power in this country? He literally collected bodies as collateral damage in his failed attempt to stay President after being voted out.
    Now he's had more time to dream up new ways to take advantage of the position of being President. who knows what his ultimate goal is. Does he want to be like Putin and be President forever?
    Do we ever want to find out? I wouldn't give him another chance to see if he can stay in power indefinitely.

  • My memory of talking to Michael Clarke Duncan RIP ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ
    I was watching Shannon Sharpe's podcast #ClubShayShay on #youtube with #MeaganGood and she was talking about working with #MichaelClarkeDuncan and it reminded me of when I was able to talk to him over the phone after meeting and interviewing #ChalieSheen 's best frien Tony Todd. He was so gracious and kind to me. I am so grateful to have had such a beautiful and memorable experience through him after accidentally using the wrong pictures in my article about Charlie Sheen's best friend when I was a local Las Vegas Best Friends columnist in 2011 - 2015 on Examiner.com
