heroes and villains
Heroes and Villains throughout history that have defined their industries and workflow as we know it today. Those we look up to, and those we learn mistakes from.
Love Is Part lV
I’ve been told on countless occasions that, because I’m a black woman, I would never be able to understand what it’s like to be a black man. That I could never relate to the struggles black men face daily in love, family structures, society and the breaking of generational curses overall. I’ve been told that I cannot understand how a black man thinks or feels. That I would never know what it takes to assist and guide a black man to heal. Perhaps there’s truth to these statements. Then again. . . perhaps that isn’t the fullest truth.

Runaway Witness
She had been running for over two years. From her ex, from the people who had done this to her. It would be easier if she wasn't the witness for entire departments and against entire departments . She didn't know who to trust anymore- she had tried to get in touch with everyone she trusted. None of them would answer. They hadn't for years. The constant push and pull of was always too much. Except one man, Rich was always there when she was scared, when she wasn't strong enough physically or emotionally to try to figure it out. Him leaving was one of the hardest things she was dealing with. He had literally saved her life, given her a home, a chance to go back to solving the biggest case of her career. She had to believe that there was more than just basic survival. She had scrapped by for a year while no one had listened. She had to remember she was the key to solving and fundamentally reversing the biggest fraud Chatham County had ever tried to pull off. At least pregnant wasn't a complication anymore. She was not the redhead from Savannah as Matt, her ex, Steve's male best friend (She had been his female one) had coined her on Memorial Day 2015 as she spent the best holiday she had had with Dalton PD family. She had made Hall County home for the last year, she would never be from Chatham County, Ga. They had taken everything she ever owned illegally and covered up everything their law enforcement and Assistant Chatham County Attorney Jennifer Davenport, who was threatening to sue her for simply putting in print what she had done. She had reversed every public employee in Georgia's rights. She had lied to the Ga Supreme Court, the Chatham County Superior Court and defrauded even them, creditors and every good public employee in the state. She had for 2.5 years altered court records, made every public employee an at-will employee and fundamentally put their careers at risk. Even if they didn't know it because law enforcement in Ga had ignored every violation of every civil and criminal code, why everyone she trusted had remained silent or attacked her. Even being threatened by convicted child molesters, assaulted by felons, sexually battered by two men law enforcement covered up, attacked and left in the street by every police officer she had attempted to get help from, friends, ex lovers and people she looked up to she wouldn't be silenced. They weren't witnesses, they were walking corruption with a badge and law degrees covering up their roles in what they thought were disconnected incidents. They had added insult to injury by refusing to even take police reports about even federal crimes. She had been attacked by a Mayor John Ernst on LinkedIn for trying to have her sexual assault not be botched by incompetent police officers writing police reports that contradicted themselves, common sense and even their own reports. Lawyers literally ignoring reports of entire departments, of police refusing to investigate corruption, even federal agencies pushing their witness farther and further way.

When Apple.Inc Broke Consumer Trust and Paid $613 Million in Damages
Apple came under fire from social media giants earlier this year when it decided to give the control of tracking user activity on apple phones to its device owners. While social media giants like Facebook started a war against Apple as it meant a major setback to their advertising revenue, most of us welcomed this move, as it gave control of our data in our hands.

Respectful Representation of Diversity in Media
The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas, is a hard-hitting representation of what inner-city life is like for Black people in America. The main character’s childhood friend is murdered by police, who allegedly thought his hairbrush was a gun, and the main character spends the remainder of the story calling for justice, and dealing with the fallout.

Uncertain Future
My first story here - my favourite thing - a journal entry. On Facebook, a group I follow of nerds, geeks and dorks asked a question - What would you call this chapter of your life? So many funny answers like - My back aches - and some others that made me feel like I wasn’t alone - like - Rock bottom. So often I think everyone has it better than me or that is the way life is supposed to be. I think we all want to hear happy stories from people - we want to be around people that uplift us - bring light and warmth.

Forty Hour Week
We always seem to focus on the misbehavior of individuals in their industry. The rude agent, or the nasty sales clerk, perhaps the angry cop you met along the way. We have them in all professions and the biggest complaint if the airline industry. Yes we have rude agents there, but when you put up with the crap we do on a daily basis, then it is understandable. But what about those who go above and beyond? Customers can be just as rude with the agents and I've been cussed out by many a customer. There is bull shit to be dealt with at every job level known to man. We don't even think about reporting that story. You will see some of them here.

I Used to Be a Hero
Who decides who gets to be a hero? What makes someone a “hero”, anyway? Is it bravery? Courage? Goodness? Where is the line between goodness and evil and why is it that whoever drew it is allowed to move it whenever someone like me gets too close to the good side?
