How I Became an Investigator-And Why I Teach What The Job Really Requiers!
I grew up during the 1960s and 1970s. Becoming a private investigator never crossed my mind.

Building Stronger Connections!
Everything in life is connected — our families, our communities, our finances, and even the level of safety in our neighborhoods. When one part weakens, the others feel the impact. That’s why we can’t look at crime, poverty, education, or opportunity as separate issues. They all come from the same source — how we live,Continue reading “Building Stronger Connections!”
Building Strength Together: No Matter Who’s in Office…..
Building Strength Together, No Matter Who’s in Power Even under this current administration, where many of the decisions have hurt Black communities, we can still make progress — but it will take a shift in strategy.

” Why working Together is Personal for Me”
