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...

Tomorrow is the 12th Day - Where is Allisha?

IMG_0496
I don't understand why more is not being said about James Dunmore. Is he a suspect? Where is he? What is his story? We know that Allisha was in Charlotte for a concert with her cousin. According to her cousin, Allisha didn't show up. "It just wasn't normal. That's not her," Utley said."I came back home. Allisha's car was still there at her boyfrien...

Where Is Alisha Watts? Press Conference Tomorrow at 11:00 am

IMG_0447
 In the wake of the Carlee Russell case, some of you have become desensitized and even cynical about the abuses and exploitations of Black Women but we can’t stop advocating because of one’s lies. I truly believe in the case of Carlee it was mental illness but Alisha Watts is another story. Missing since July 16th, the 39 year old an...

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 She knows how much I write and how I have so many unpublished books in storage.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...

I’ve always wondered how the Queen City could have such progressive people yet run such an archaic educational system. I have stood floored by a body that has the most important task in Charlotte, audaciously make decisions without putting our most precious first. A board that has wasted millions on superintendents truly has forgotten how to a...

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...

When The Lawyers Won’t Even Defend Us

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.
