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!!

The truth about hookup culture ;)

As of 2022, The Pew Research Center found 30% of U.S. adults are neither married, living with a partner, nor engaged in a committed relationship. Additionally, 1/2 of young adults inthe U.S. are single. What the?! Why be in a relationship when you can, “hookup” with no expectations.Let's talk about hookup culture! What is hookup culture? Is this a healthy dynamic? Why is hookup culture popular in today's society? Are there negative effects engaging in this behavior; Does this behavior negatively impact women? My original intention was to answer these questions, in an effort to talk about hookup culture as part of a series of educational videos/posts during Domestic Violence Awareness month to raise awareness about healthy relationships but, time ran out. However, we can still have an honest discussion and continue the conversations about our current relationship climate that will help us understand the current trend of , "hooking up." I decided to talk about this t...

Passive Targets: Rape Victimization before Crime Victims' Rights

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Wrong place, wrong time?" Forty years ago crime victims, especially sexual assault victims, were viewed as passive targets. There were a lot of societal views that placed responsibility and shame on crime victims. This weekend, I watched three episodes of a documentary on HBO, I'll Be Gone In The Dark. This documentary chronicles the East Area Rapist in the seventies and eighties, later identified as the Golden State Killer, and is based on a true crime book by Michelle McNamara. This documentary highlighted what was absent in crime fighting forty years ago: cooperation, inclusiveness, equality, compassion, and understanding of victimization. I'm a crime story buff; however, I was specifically drawn to the interviews and experiences of the survivors. I listened to survivors share their pain, trauma, and secondary victimization. Secondary victimization refers to "victim-blaming" and behaviors that members of society engage i...

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 ...
