Welcome to Raw Reflections
This is where the commentary gets sharp, the writing gets bold, and nothing is off-limits. Raw Reflections is more than a blog—it’s an ongoing conversation about law, identity, culture, power, and the personal truths we’re told to keep quiet.
Here, I unpack courtroom drama, critique pop culture, analyze the systems meant to protect us (but often don’t), and write through the chaos of being alive in a world that demands silence from the loudest hearts. From legal education to emotional storytelling, every post is crafted with clarity, depth, and purpose.
If you’re here for truth, for context, for the unfiltered version of what really matters—then you’re in the right place.

It’s not just about rejection—it’s about survival. About growing up watching violence. About the women who said no and died anyway. About the system that keeps failing us. If you’ve ever blamed a victim, read this. If you’ve ever been one, this is for you.

The question isn’t “Why didn’t she leave?” The real question is: “Why did he feel entitled to hurt her in the first place?” Survivors don’t owe us perfect exits. Abusers owe us accountability. Here are the real numbers—and the real conversation.
She Said No, So He Killed Her: What Adolescence Reveals About Male Fragility and Misogyny in Boys
He wasn’t confused. He wasn’t “just a kid.” Jamie Miller killed Katie because she said no—and Adolescence makes one thing painfully clear: boys are being taught that rejection is a reason to destroy. In this post, I don’t hold back. This is about misogyny, male entitlement, and the girls who die because society keeps protecting fragile men.
