I am an everyday citizen with a lot on my mind and love in my heart. You cannot believe how many people tell me they are worried about speaking up and engaging in conversations out of fear of retribution and attack. This concern is valid on all sides of the conversation and does not apply uniformly to one group. My platform aims to create a safe environment for conversations about polarizing topics that are usually difficult to discuss. Discussions range from politics to Hollywood, social media, healthcare, family, self-love, and self-care, and they don’t stop there. I am not trying to change anyone’s opinion; I am here to listen and to present a different side to the focus to get everyone thinking differently. Listen, speak, verify and respect. We need to be more open-minded and not so one sided ❤️ If you want to have that conversation with me, I am here! Minnect me!
