Black Mental Health
One of the worldās greatest conflicts is issues surrounding mental health. Poor mental health has contributed to a lot of the worldās woes and has created a lot of misery when misguided choices have been made by those with poor mental health. As an African American male Iāve come to realize in my adulthood that mental health is an issue in the Black community that has never been properly addressed and I think if we did address it more then a lot of progress would be made.

Strong People Need Care Too
Everyone knows that one person in their life who is commonly referred to as the āstrong personā. We know what they look like. Itās that person we go to when weāre having a little too much trouble with our everyday struggles. The strong person is the friend to the world who always has a shoulder to lean on and keeps an extended hand to those who need lifting up, even when those who need lifting are complete strangers. Strong people are like superheroes to us, no different than Batman or Superman right? But more often than not, the strong person is the one who actually needs the most help.

Watcherās Prey
Livewire Bar, downtown Oaksville, 10:00 p.m. Leslie Duncan is having a drink at her favorite bar on a Wednesday night. Livewire is not exactly the craziest bar to journey to after hours, but it is certainly not the safest place to be after hours. While sipping her martini Leslie looks over and catches a man in a blue denim jacket staring at her with a vacant expression across his face. She quickly dismisses his look and goes back to viewing the mounted television above the bar.
