I seek to shed light on how things appear to be great. We then take the veil off what has been a nightmare for many. With so much that has yet to be completed, we tell ourselves little lies about maltreatment to help us sleep at night. We make excuses for our behavior until our actions become known to the public. No more lying to ourselves about who we are. It is time to tell the truth about what it feels lime to live where we live. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
