The Empty Wagon As a child, my mother would often say, “An empty wagon makes a lot of noise.” At the time, it didn’t mean much to me. It was just another one of those sayings grown folks tossed around. But as I got older, and life started teaching me its lessons, I began toContinue reading “The Empty Wagon?”

On March 15, 2025, an unfortunate incident happenedContinue reading “Opinions vs. The Law”

Our Children are Priority 1
We must prepare our children for the future. Some may find this narrative uncomfortable, but the truth must be told.
