The revolution WILL be televised! See, these tears streaming down my brown cheeks are rage mixed with fury because these brown eyes are not color blind.
You can’t expect an entire race of people to stand idly by, while key players from an entire race aren’t gun shy.
My Brown skin is NOT a weapon! But they using the privilege of their White skin, to cave our pigmented chests in. To crush our necks, silence our breaths, control what was never theirs in the first place. I know YOUR constitution considered us 3/5 of a man, but this is about the human race!
The revolution WILL be televised! See, these tears streaming down my brown cheeks are rage mixed with fury because these brown eyes are not color blind.
You’ve burglarized our homes, and murdered us in our sleep! You’ve robbed us for generations because our minds, bodies, and souls you COULDN’T keep!
Psst, YES, YOU, the “ally” come in closer, no more standing idly by. You are either with us or against us. Because when this shit hits the fan you’re either swinging or you’re getting your chin bust.
Cause, this revolution WILL be televised! See, these tears streaming down my brown cheeks are rage mixed with fury because these brown eyes are not color blind.

My Why.
What fulfills me and why people should support my passion is summed up in my photo, my why. I don’t need between 600 and 5,000 words to say what you can see and feel from the photo of my son, husband and I. It’s simple, family. My family drives my passions and desires because all I want to do is make a better life for us. They are why I’m currently working my derrière off: full-time job as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, adjunct university instructor, self-published author/co-owner of an indie publishing company, future Doctor of Social Work. It’s my ultimate goal in life to create generational wealth and true passive income for my family. I want to be able to leave my son and future generations to come something more than debt and heartache.
