Growing up with a white and native mother and a black father has left me in the middle of a dialogue I want to see from both sides, but I am forced to go with what they "see". My skin. My mother use to get strange looks while I was growing up. Snotty looks, as white women and men stared at her black child and looked down at her. My experiences growing up here in Los Angeles has been a total and utter nightmare. The gang war that broke out here in the early 90's led to my brother's death. Shot 25 times. I was only 5 years old, but I remember my mother kissing his forehead, her red lipstick leaving the last bit of love she had in this world in that coffin, with him. From that point on, she spiraled, she lost herself and in the process I lost my childhood.
He was 23. 12 years later, I lost my mother. I know the pain of losing your family. It never goes away.

The end result of a murder, justified in the eyes of the law or not, sends ripples of pain that continues to torture the person(s) left behind. Depression rears its ugly head and eventually suicide becomes an option. The lack of mental health awareness and help in America for trauma victims would suggest we live in a third world country.

The division we are experiencing in our society right now gives us racially charged hashtags like, #AllLivesDidntMatter, #CrimingWhileWhite, #WhitePrivilegeMeans, and #WhiteInventions. Social Media has become the breeding ground for racist bickering and threats. There are extreme points of view from both sides, but what bothers me the most is those who want to bring up statistics of black on black crime. The conditions upon which poverty stricken blacks live in create the climate for these crimes.

The fact that they say these directions, "came from the top" speaks volumes.

Money plays a big role in how the police do their jobs. This video (will open in new window) gives astounding proof as to why we are in prisons across America. There are quotas these cops must meet and the punishment for not meeting them are devastating. The fact that they say these directions, "came from the top" speaks volumes. This article(will open in new window) further shows how the system is rigged to imprison ALL of us. Judges received kickbacks on handing out long sentences to our youth. To further top it off, prisons are privatized, not government owned, however they are government backed. Meaning they receive money to stay running. This article(will open in new window) further drives the point home that we must end For-Profit Prisons.

With all this evidence stacked against our government, We Charge Genocide(will open in new window)brought these issues plaguing our society to the United Nations, in an effort to charge the United States government with genocide. Information is available to us on this worldwide web, we have to begin using it for more than Likes and Retweets.

Second Life mimics Real Life and already I have been attacked in groups I thought were for the intelligent people.

In conclusion, I fear for our future. I find it difficult to feel safe driving, going to the store, walking my dogs or even standing on my street. Not that I have a criminal record or anything, just the tension in the air. It's palpable. I am getting phone calls from my family telling me that they are getting strange looks on the trains and buses on their way to work. White passengers are shaking scared and blacks are just as scared if not more. Second Life mimics Real Life and already I have been attacked in groups I thought were for the intelligent people. I no longer feel comfortable going out and exploring in fear of being ridiculed or targeted by others who, before this, never would have given a second thought about me teleporting into a sim.

The mean jokes and automatic responses to others has to stop.

Now, every comment I make on any platform, Flickr, Second Life, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram is being attacked, no matter the subject. The stress I feel from not being able to express myself openly about anything is painful on so many levels. We are all human, and anyone human, White, Black, Latino, or Asian should be equally outraged at what is happening to our society. I ask that we all show compassion to one another. The mean jokes and automatic responses to others has to stop. We have to be leaders, not followers of out of date ideas that no longer work in this melting pot we call America.







We all know of the atrocity that happened in Orlando recently. Innocent people lost their lives, this event on July 15th in Second Life will raise funds for the victims and the victim's families. My heart goes out to those affected. The unthinkable happened, but we as humans have a duty to comfort, help and look after everyone we can. The greatest support system we have is our ability to lend a helping hand and show our compassion. I ask that all those who read my blog attend this fundraiser. Even if you have your own personal beliefs, you are human and these individuals, LBGTQ or not, that were gunned down were human as well. These were people's children, friends, brothers, sisters, lovers. The best kind of love you can show is a helping hand.

Any atrocity against humans triggers a feeling of deep sadness within me. Being the family of a victim of gun violence, I understand the anguish that lasts forever. It never goes away. I am asking that everyone open their hearts and their pockets. 50% of all proceeds will go to the victims and families of victims. This event also features a Gacha Event. So come play the gacha, listen to some hot tunes and donate as your heart sees fit. Much love and may Peace come to all those affected.

Whew! I just hit the proverbial jackpot when I found this location. The attention to detail in this lounge blew me out the water! From the ceiling to the floors, I got instant chills as I entered and could not believe my eyes. With the word "hello" greeting you as you walk into the most immersive experience, you cannot help but be impressed by this location. Checking out the "About Land" tab, the owner stresses that this is a lounge and not a club. Which is fine, but I personally would love for this become a social club. I can see it now, clothing designers, furniture designers, bloggers (SL's elite) being all in one room. Yes. This spot gives me that kind of vibe.





With ample seating and an amazingly contoured ceiling, I almost want to move into this location. The hanging leaves and plants, offer a color palette that is definitely timeless. No matter what time of year you visit this location, you will be comfortable. Dressed up or dressed down, you are not out of place, that is what makes this location so versatile. It is available for booking at 750L per hour, which is pretty good for a great party. They will allow you to bring your own DJ, they just need the stream.





This location is lag free from what I can tell, and they know about good music, (look at who they idolize) you can tell soo much about owners based on what they deem important. My heart flutters here, its magical, it's appealing to the eyes, and comforting. A very nurturing atmosphere where the greatest of experiences can take place! That is what SL about.
