I Am Who I Am

My experience has shown me how quickly misinformation can grow when "multiple" voices repeat the same false story just to see someone incarcerated so they can receive a victims compensation as well as civil litigation. I use my platform to shed light on the reality of smear campaigns and the need for justice when someone’s identity is threatened. Every part of my work is rooted in truth, and AWARENESS.
