"How Racism Affects the Mental Health of Black Youth"

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"Anti-Black racism is a driver of the Black youth mental health crisis, separate from socio-economic status, and solutions are urgently needed to tailor the mental health treatment of Black youth. Research funding is necessary for further studies examining the impact of anti-Black racism on child mental health throughout development. The topic remains understudied and underfunded, especially for very young children. We also need more funding for anti-Black racism-conscious mental health treatment tailored to Black youth—staffed by mental health clinicians who have expertise in providing anti-Black racism targeted care."

How To Receive Salvation

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

Romans 10:8-13

"But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says,“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Revelation 3:11

"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."

Help End Race-Based Hair Discrimination

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"Our groundbreaking CROWN research study revealed that Black women are 80% more likely to change their hair from its natural state to fit in at the office. Now, this new body of research illuminates the pervasive nature and deep impact hair discrimination has on Black girls highlighting the horrific multi-generational impact of narrow beauty standards in America... These biases continue to perpetuate unfair scrutiny and discrimination against Black women and girls for wearing hairstyles inherent to our culture. This is unacceptable and why it is imperative that everyone join the movement to make hair discrimination illegal nationwide through the passage of The CROWN Act." - Esi Eggleston Bracey

Editor's Note On Recent, Unfortunate VP Harris Statements

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

When Vice President Kamala Harris spoke against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel yesterday, she made a dire mistake and is on the wrong side of history.

VP Harris is clearly not in possession of the facts in Israel, that Israel has a right to defend itself, that Israel did not initiate this war, or that Israel works tirelessly to ensure resolution and that every person, including Palestinians, are treated with fairness and equality.

Perhaps her staff is lying to her or they give her the wrong information. Whatever the case may be, you can rest assured that God is not on her side, and she is not in possession of the truth.

"Israel Implemented More Measures to Prevent Civilian Casualties Than Any Other Nation in History "

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

⭐️#ICYMI, "No military fighting an entrenched enemy in dense urban terrain in an area barely twice the size of Washington D.C. can avoid all civilian casualties. Reports of over 25,000 Palestinians killed, be they civilians or Hamas, have made headlines. But Israel has taken more measures to avoid needless civilian harm than virtually any other nation that's fought an urban war.

In fact, as someone who has served two tours in Iraq and studied urban warfare for over a decade, Israel has taken precautionary measures even the United States did not do during its recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Prayer For Donald Trump

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

Dear President Donald Trump,

I extend my heartfelt and sincere prayers to you.

What you have gone through in the past two weeks has been so overwhelming. On the one hand there is the profound knowledge that your precious life was almost taken away, and on the other, you perceive in your heart that you were given a powerful, miracle testimony.

I both weep, and rejoice for you. It isn't every day that you turn your head in the blink of an eye, and it saves your life.

God was with you. He sees you, and He knows your heart and what you have been through.

Walk with God in the light of good, be fair, repair the world, encourage broken hearts, instill justice, pursue righteous good!

My prayers are with you!

Respectfully,

N. Parks

The October 7th Massacre

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

On October 7th, 2023, over 3000 Hamas & Palestinian Terrorists attacked Israel without provocation and committed the largest massacre against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Since that time, if appears that the international community has refused to fully acknowledge the pain, suffering, and even humanity of Israeli citizens impacted by the ongoing hostilities' that they didn't initiate.

When it was announced that girls and women were raped, no one believed them. When it was reported that innocent babies were slaughtered, the world looked the other way. When innocent civilians were kidnapped and murdered, no one cared.

The international community might respond this way, but Americans should ALWAYS do better!

"Like all Israelis, my wife Sara and I were shocked by the horrific assassination attempt on the life of President Donald Trump.

This wasn't just an attack on Donald Trump. This was an attack on a candidate for the presidency of the United States. This was an attack on America. It was an attack on democracy, it was an attack on all the democracies.

On behalf of myself, my family, the Government and people of Israel, we wish President Trump a speedy recovery, continued good health and continued strength." - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

#ICYMI: The Legacy of Racial Inequality (It's an ongoing issue)

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"In America, there is a legacy of racial inequality shaped by the enslavement of millions of Black people. The era of slavery was followed by decades of terrorism and racial subordination most dramatically evidenced by lynching. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s challenged the legality of many of the most racist practices and structures that sustained racial subordination but the movement was not followed by a continued commitment to truth and reconciliation.

Consequently, this legacy of racial inequality has persisted, leaving us vulnerable to a range of problems that continue to reveal racial disparities and injustice. It is essential that we begin to discuss our history of racial injustice more soberly and to understand the implications of our past in addressing the challenges of the present." - EJI
