An Important "Push to ‘Decriminalize’ Young People Who Grew up in Foster Care"

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

🚨 “With our young people, we want to ensure the system sees them as children and not as criminals... and there should be trauma-informed practice that can shape their stories and help them find the healing they need.”

PS... This is worth repeating because the world fails to see their humanity.

"80 Years Ago In The Holocaust, We Were Completely Defenseless. Nobody Came To Our Aid And We Were Slaughtered"

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

In a recent interview PM Netanyahu rightly justifies his position to defend Israel.

"We will do what we need to do, what we must do to make sure Hamas does not retake Gaza and ... repeat the horrible October 7th massacre, the beheading of women, after they raped them, the burning of babies, the slaughter of the innocent, the taking of hostages... I hope we can reach an understanding, but we will do what we must do." - PM Benjamin Netanyahu

❤️ Israel

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

❤️ Israel has been unjustly targeted throughout history. It is important that they love who they are, and that they defend themselves faithfully.

Hundreds pack funeral for Roger Fortson, the Black airman killed in his home by a Florida deputy

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"People lined up well before the start of the service at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest to file past the open coffin and say their goodbyes to Fortson, who was shot six times by a deputy responding to a May 3 call... He was 23. The Rev. Jamal Bryant opened his eulogy with a story about how civil rights icon Medgar Evers joined the Army during World War II even though he and other Black American service members were fighting for freedoms abroad that they didn't enjoy at home."

"TULSA RACE MASSACRE SURVIVOR CELEBRATES 110TH BIRTHDAY"

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"TULSA RACE MASSACRE SURVIVOR CELEBRATES 110TH BIRTHDAY"

"Over four years ago, Fletcher’s and Randle’s families launched a case in 2020 seeking justice for the attack that took place when they were both children. Their lead attorney, Damario Solomon-Simmons, said Fletcher looks “vibrant” but said time is of the essence for her to 'see justice in her lifetime.' ​ The third plaintiff in the case, Hughes Van Ellis, died in October at 102 years old. Ellis was Fletcher’s younger brother. The case, filed against the city of Tulsa and the regional chamber among others, has two claims: to seek money and property lost as a result of the massacre and an unjust enrichment claim in which the suit alleges that the defendants made money off the survivors’ name, image and likeness." ​

Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

“Once again Dorothy Roberts offers us a bold, visionary critique of the contemporary institutional consequences of colonialism and slavery. Her penetrating analysis of the family policing system and its masquerade as child protective services not only persuades us that reforms alone will forever reinforce the system’s racist and repressive foundations, it also compels us to imagine new modes of care and frameworks for abolitionist futures.”

― Angela Y. Davis, author of Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

Dream Deferred No More!

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

The apparent racist refusals and denials remind me of the old Langston Hughes title "Dream Deferred," and it is something that many people can unfortunately relate to. @ Luxury Law, with all of glorious mentoring and talent you bring, I sincerely pray that you can continue to help this jewel shine as she was always meant to. ❤️🙏🏾

PUBLIC STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

President Joe Biden and the current administration, through Hillary Clinton's CIA we have the Transparency Program technology to get the hostages out. There are no excuses.

Additionally, I respectfully call on President Joe Biden, President Jimmy Carter, President Bill Clinton, President George Bush, President Barack Obama, President Donald J. Trump, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, & Michelle Obama to please do the right thing, support Israel, and remain at her side. THEY NEED PROTECTION, THEY NEED PEACE.

Respectfully, Niya Parks
