Episode 5 of 5: The final episode in the Closure Series wraps up the love story of my biological parents Frieda Morris and James Lockett. This series brought me the closure I needed in my life and I hope that it helps you begin conversations with your friends and family that you may have perceived to be difficult but that you need to get closure on. Do not be afraid to walk in your truth and do not carry other people's secrets that may harm you.

4 of 5 episodes of the Closure Series featuring my biological parents and all the ends and out of the '70's love story and abandonment issues that followed. We are winding down this series and seeing just how talkative and off subject these two people who came together to make the LawChic can go. From high priestess to Buddha to Jesus, these two discuss it all. It is what some call AGAPE love!

3 of 5 episodes in the closure series with my biological parents. This episode explores the revealing of the secret by a third party out of spite and anger and the unraveling of a mother-daughter relationship; and the establishing of a father-daughter relationship. Through it all, I always knew the truth, I just needed confirmed.

2 of 5 episodes featuring my biological parents and their love story and years of feeling unwanted and abandoned. This episode has some golden nuggets of growth and truthful lies. A truthful lie is also known as a whale tale, it starts off as the truth and then grows into a truthful lie. That would be a no to ever having sex in car as being part of this story. This episode was one of discovery of those intimate things that none of us knew about the other.  It also ends with the knowledge that some black women are tired of broken black men that refuse to get healing and/or address their mental health issues, yet want full companionship. This is a hoodtale of love and abandonment told over 5 episodes. www.Hoodrat2Harvard www.LawChic.com

1 of 5 episodes featuring my biological parents and their love story and years of feeling unwanted and abandoned. These two lovebirds met when my mother was a 16 year-old high school junior and my father was 22 year-old Air Force Airman stationed at England Air Force Base, a former United States Air Force base in Louisiana, located 5 miles northwest of Alexandria and about 170 miles northwest of New Orleans. Originally known as Alexandria Army Air Base. Their story was never complete as my father was made to go away or be brought up on charges of statutory rape by my maternal grandmother. I didn't meet my biological father until I was 23 years-old and a single parent. My parents are now 62 and 69 and I felt that we all needed to have a conversation about what took place in order to have closure. This is a hoodtale of love and abandonment told over 5 episodes. www.Hoodrat2Harvard www.LawChic.com
