The Books Are In! - The Makings of Mariam

The books have arrived, shipping materials are in stock, and the buzz is building!  I have dropped off several copies of The Makings of Mariam to coffee shops, bookstores and salons.  They have been waiting on the book, and I delivered it to them with a smile.

Hofstra...it was a Gang Bang, Not a Gang Rape - Lying Trick!

A white female student at Hofstra accused four men of rape. The men were of African and Latin descent. As it turns out, she made up the story to make an ex-boyfriend jealous...with hopes of reconnecting with him. This is another example of how white people place little value on the life of brown people. She subjected these men to scrutiny, time in jail, and the possibility of serving a long jail sentence. These young men will have to explain their arrest records from this day forward. The media has released several photos of the real victims (the falsely accused), but have failed to parade photos of this liar. That's a double standard if ever there was one. Watch the clip, and allow yourself to "be bothered"!
