With the journalistic spotlight on Oklahoma, I thought it would be a good idea to look at some recent events surrounding the death of non-binary 16 year-old Owasso student, Nex Benedict. I will include various links to stories related to this, as well as help line sites if any of you or anyone you love is needing a helping hand in these difficult times.
