Thank you, J.A. Allen! Not only have I grown tired of the argument of what has been called “political”, but I have learned to see through this false narrative. What is going on in the world regarding our “leaders” isn’t merely a matter of politics. These are societal matters of common sense and simply the heart of humanity (or often the lack thereof). America is the poisoned chalice . . .

She's an educator who hasn’t quite figured out how to escape the Sunshine State and is surviving and thriving within its alligator-infested clutches with her husband and three sons. The daughter of West Indian parents (Haitian father, Jamaican mother), she loves learning about different cultures, languages and people. She binge-watches forensic television shows and Soca dances until she glows! Why? So she can have seconds on cake!
