Get educated on Domestic Violence! Read Love is a Battlefield:The Survival Guide Updated with link.

I am excited to have released my new e book titled, Love is a Battlefield: The Survival Guide, yesterday on Amazon.com. This book can help anyone affected by family violence. Understanding the dynamics, warning signs, and victimology will raise awareness to a very prevalent problem. In lieu of the Ray Rice scandal, it is obvious that the public needs education and awareness on domestic violence. The unfortunate reality is that these people are public figures so we will not know the truth because they have publicists dictating responses from both the victim and abuser.
A month ago, I read a Sport's Illustrated article in their August 4th edition titled, "Message Unsent". This article, written by Phil Taylor, highlighted his outrage with Goodell's lack of holding Rice accountable. "Nothing in Goodell's words or actions conveyed a sense that he was disgusted by what happened to Janay Rice....". Well now he's disgusted because a video of the incident surfaced. I guess Goodell needed to see it to believe it well, there you go. I am happy that video surfaced because now the public can see domestic violence and believe it happens, even in the NFL. Thank you Phil Taylor for calling them out and pointing out their ignorance on domestic violence!

Get educated, spread the intolerance for domestic violence. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, show your support and wear purple or a purple ribbon!!

How to be the best version of yourself?

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I living my life to the fullest? Are there things about myself or life that I would like to change? These are all self-evaluation questions that are worthy of your attention; especially if you are feeling lack or uncertainty in your life. I definitely asked these questions a few years ago because, I was feeling very unfulfilled in my life and struggling to understand my place. Many times, as human beings living in the moment and as a coping mechanism, we put on a mask and pretend to be okay but hurting on the inside. Life requires balance and recognizing an imbalance is the beginning to discovering your full potential. Being the best version of yourself means being the authentic, "YOU." A trick to understanding your authentic self requires honesty about the things you are currently doing in your life that are creating unhappiness, uncertainty, negativity etc. You have to reflect on your shadow side (negative characteristics about your persona...

Exploiting Wellness: Exposing the wellness industry frauds.

*This post was written 6 months ago* The global wellness market is valued at over 4.75 trillion (wellnesscreative.com 2022 statistics). There is a demand for self-improvement, homeopathic or alternative ways to achieve better health or mindset. Where there is a need, there are always people waiting to exploit people's desperation to look and feel better. I believe that most people have great intentions to help others achieve their highest potential; however, we have to be mindful of those that don't. I am not a consumer advocate but, if a sell is too good to be true and people promise you the world and total transformation, I'd run for the hills. That’s a huge indication of fraud. What concerns me about the wellness industry is that some of these organizations are cult-like and require you to be a part of a controlling following. At this point, your chances of becoming victimized either financially, emotionally, or physically becomes a given. My dear friend, who works for ...

How to stop the blame game? Five ways to reduce victim blaming attitudes.

In lieu of the R.Kelly trial, I have felt compelled to talk about victim blaming attitudes and belief systems as a debilitating cultural norm. I will specifically address violence against women in this post. Victim blaming occurs when a victim of crime is considered at fault or partially at fault for the harmful act against them. As a professional crime victim advocate, I have always felt it necessary to educate people about victimization and people's responses to crime to help mitigate the prejudice against victims and the perception from society that victims are some how responsible for the actions of the violent offender. This happens a lot in sexual assault and domestic violence cases. We have witnessed, predominately in the R.Kelly trial, past and present, the perpetuation of rape culture and the normalized attitudes about gender and sexuality. Victim blaming, slut-shaming, minimizing rape and the denial of accountability of the offenders is the norm. Society bathes in ...
