Time to Own Shit
I told y'all why racist systems are still prevalent in this country and every country. And I laid out for y'all why you (black people...the African diaspora) should gain economic and political currency in this country. Be patient, BE HUMBLE, be smart, don't quit, and it'll work.

Social Workin' Wonder Woman
Have you seen her in action yet? The new Wonder Woman film is a thrill for so many reasons, especially to social scientists like myself. We study the things people do, say, and feel so that we can get a handle on how fast society is approaching "hell in a handbasket" status. Watching Wonder Woman was most amazing because of her innate, undeniable, burning sense of empathy for the less fortunate. Social workers rejoice-- Wonder Woman just made your case for why helping professionals need help: salary increases, self-care assistance, and professional autonomy. Now.

My Friend the Police Officer
I have known this man decently for at least three years. We went to the same high school and served in the Manual Academy JROTC program. As I've grown to know him, he's been more and more himself. In the past... well, for a while he was in the police academy. Despite being one of the star football players, he was really down to earth in high school. He dealt with all kinds of drama from people having a concussion every other week to struggling with Trigonometry. By his senior year, he was in the top three, "god powers," as we cadets called them, of the JROTC Battalion. He was the Cadet Sergeant Major, CSM for short. He led the weekly Physical Training, amongst other things. After he graduated, he suffered a terrible loss, that no one really knew how to help with. Somewhere in the midst of the homework and football games, he decided that he wanted to be a Police Officer.

Ripped From The Bylines
Once upon a time, not so long ago, I wanted to be a journalist. The reasons for the desire were numerous, including it was the one writing job that my parents wouldn't complain that I couldn't make money doing it and I would still be writing. Best of all, I would be making a difference in the world. Exposing bad guys would make the world a better place for my nieces and nephews. It was ideal, almost utopian. Then Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President and the world went upside down.

Bad Business? Write a Letter
Companies large and small have special representatives that handle customer complaints. Within these departments, customers are able to advise on their issues in order to have them investigated and possibly corrected. Customers also turn to social media to voice their complaints and are catered to by these representatives. This is done because with any business, mistakes happen and by these companies going through the motions of listening to their customers, they are showing how much they value their customers’ business. These attempts show the integrity of the company both by their giving a response to these complaints along with their finding ways to fix the issue by offering specials or a refund.

Online College
We've all seen those commercials about online college. They encourage us to get our degree online. But is it worth it? Up to now, I am not so sure it is worth it. If you are a stay-at-home mom, your options are limited if you have not worked in several years. Even if you have a degree that you got online, you're going to hear these phrases when you apply for jobs, even jobs that your so-called degree qualify you for: "You don't have enough work experience;" "You have no work history;" "You don't have the experience we're looking for."
