I wish every Black American would have a chance to live overseas. I have lived in Africa, Germany, Dubai and in many Caribbean Countries. America with all its flaws is indeed the greatest country on Earth, because in the U.S. you can achieve anything if you are willing to educate yourself, work hard and have […]
I was an abused baby. After my mother had me, she was out on the street. She lived with some man rumored to be a pimp and would leave me alone with him every day. My grandmother’s sister would come by and check on me. She said when she’d get there, I would be crying […]
For the past few months, my heart has ached for the millions of babies whose lives have been stolen from them, for the intense pain they each have experienced and for the choice they never had. This is why I feel I must now speak out. Abortion is an issue which touches me deeply and […]
We want to believe so many things in life, like the IT things, don’t affect us, that we can move beyond them or through them and they will not determine our well-being or our happiness. The IT, can be many things — natural disasters or disasters of our own making, although most of the time […]
In the past few days, I had thousands of abortion proponents come on my Facebook page accusing me of being pro-rape because I actually love my life. Valuing my life does not make me pro-rape! I was raped myself when I was in law school. My abuser broke my jaw and I lost my front […]

Tennessee’s “Heartbeat Bill” passed in the […]
We met when I was 16. He had just gotten home from boot camp for the military, and was a mutual friend of a girl I had known my whole life. We stayed up late and spent the whole night talking about our life stories and even watched the sunrise. Young and naive, I was […]
“They’re not going to believe you. Sign here.” That is what she told me when she gave me the pen and the custody agreement. “This is your best bet. Sign here. They are NOT going to believe you!” How did I get here??? It was the summer of 2016 . . . . After exchanging […]
I recently testified before both the Ohio Senate committee and House committee in support of the Heartbeat bill as someone conceived in rape and as a pro-life attorney. In the Senate, despite being the last to testify after four hours of proponent testimony, I was asked questions by a pro-choice Democrat on the committee. However, […]
Over the last week and a half, I’ve been advocating on for the Georgia heartbeat bill, called the LIFE Act – HB 481, at the Georgia State Capitol. I’m from Oregon, but as I visited my grandparents in the Atlanta area, it only made sense to take the opportunity to help Georgia’s most vulnerable, and […]
