Get Anything You Want: The World You Are In Is The World You Create.
Once you're here, I can promise you the feeling of constant happiness is even more intense than any proper depression. It’s as if you like doing Valium, and then do heroin for the first time. The feeling will be so great that you'll never want to get down from that trip. It is just that with ...
How The Cosby Story Taught Me To Speak Up.
This time I was not anesthetized. I screamed at the top of my lungs in English. Whatever curse words I knew, tumbled out, as I blushed profusely. Each word got louder, until my community, one by one, rushed out.

What’s All This Fuss About White Privilege?
There are a lot of things I don't have to worry about, simply because of the color of my skin. This is my unearned and ever present white privilege.
Schools And Prisons: The Education Industrial Complex.
No child gives a damn about the Pythagorean theorem, or stoichiometry, or the falsified history of European devils. All of the garbage being taught is what wires students’ brains, and prevents free and critical thinking. Most students are force-fed lies, and frivolous information they don’t ...
Sisters, We Need Each Other.
Women, why do we do this to each other?
Why do we put each other down?
Why do we cut each other out, without a second thought?
Why do we hurt each other, without apology or remorse?
