Black Girl Lost (You’re Worth More Than Sex)
After receiving a disturbing comment from a woman propositioning men for sex I felt it my place to address this young woman, and others like her, who use sex as a weapon. CLICK HERE to see why I believe more young girls need to know that there’s more to life and love than sex.

Fatherless Child (Dealing With Daddy Issues)
