#AllishaIsMe

IMG_0516
 Hear Our Prayers O' Lord. Amen. The Bible says to be slow to anger but over the last two weeks I have been very angry. I'm ready to meet Allisha, as a writer, so she can tell me her story. I'm ready for the lesson in all this. And I spoke to Ms. Yvex Franklin last night, not as an advocate but as a mother with a young daughter. And as she spo...

Response Time - Rev. Queen Mack

IMG_0374
Today I was brought to tears when I looked in my email and saw they were auctioning my storage unit. I immediately called my sister crying. She knows how much I write and how I have so many unpublished books in storage. I thought they told me the 25th was my last day to pay but I must have been wrong. And life has become a rollercoaster from n...

And I certainly have deep opinions about mental health, battling these challenges myself. I have a light story before I begin the serious topic at hand. My wonderful 13 year old child s...

Taking Risks for Someone In Jail Praying for Ladayisha

IMG_9817
I was married to a man in the Feds for years and I saw personally how some of the young correctional officers would cross the line first hand and hear how they would bring in more contraband than anyone yet search those grannies and others coming in scrupulously. Why would you risk your freedom for someone locked up? I asked myself that q...

Servant of the Community - Rodney McGill

IMG_9428
That day leaving “Safe Alliance” seemed to be surreal, as I found myself passing several community leaders in Charlotte, trying to keep my dirty little secret under wraps. But Rodney McGill didn’t cut me from the corner of his eye or act like he didn’t see me but walked up to me with a hug and greeting. I was feeling m...

When The Lawyers Won’t Even Defend Us

IMG_9092
There is no amount of money that could have convinced me that three years separated from my abuser, I would still be in court, still telling the story, still reenacting the moments. Still. Never in my life would I imagine that one person could shatter my humanity and there be no restitution. Never would I believe in a civilized society that someone...

Facing Blackness . . . Thanks for Sharing

My name is Dearest Price, one of the managers of Black Line News. I use to say I was an owner but I realized I can’t own a culture. I can’t own compassion to promote others. I can’t own Blackness. Over the years many people have said you will make a lot of money on Black Line if you just change the name. Well Black Line wasn’t created to ...

I Have A Dream Too . . .

It was January 20th, 1986, 18 years after his death and the dream was still being deferred. It was during a time when the only songs MTV would play in Black culture were Michael Jackson and we stayed disillusioned in the lyrics of Billie Jean, being proud, “the kid is not my son”. It was when the crack epidemic wa...

Forgiving Betrayal . . . Dear Dearest

E13ACBF0-AFB2-4447-AC57-33774B90F923
Dear Self, Betrayal wrote me on New Years Eve and at first I had nothing to say. He called me by my old name, like my old school friends would yell down the way. They would rough me up on Saturday then by Sunday forget about it all. And to just be outside in the sunlight, removed any embarrassment of the fall. I o...

Dear Dearest,  I have a 19 year old daughter that I adore more than life itself. Her mother and I never got along; a street gutter woman with a hot temper that would keep me away from my daughter at the slightest missed payment of child support.  But my child always wanted to be with me, so at 16, she ran away and...

Dear Dearest,  I contracted COVID in March of this year. I was very resistant to go to the hospital when I began to get sick but my son insisted because of my age and health.

Dear Dearest,  I’ve had a period where I ran the streets and messed with drugs. It was due to a rough upbringing by an abusive mother. I have two sons and they were put in foster care, reported by my mother. I can’t seem to forgive her because she put them in the system when she could have taken them in herself. She says she raised her ki...
