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.
You Want My Body But Not My Voice? I’m Not Here to Please You Quietly
They want my body. They don’t want my voice.
They’ll watch the content, crave the curves, praise the pictures—then flinch the second I speak up.
But here’s the truth: I’m not here to be quiet. I’m not here to be polite. I’m not here to be yours.
This blog is for the women who have been looked at but never listened to.
For the ones who turned their image into power—and dared to keep their mouths open.
If You Think I Hate Men, You’re Not Listening.
I don’t hate men—I just don’t trust them. And that’s not the same thing. My boundaries aren’t built from bitterness; they’re built from experience. If that makes you uncomfortable, then you’re not really listening.
Pretty Privilege Doesn’t Protect You
Being beautiful doesn’t make you safe. In fact, sometimes it makes you a target. This piece unpacks the myth of pretty privilege, the danger of sexualization, and why I’m done accepting compliments that come with disrespect.
The It Girl Blueprint: Confidence, Chaos, and Knowing You’re That Bitch
The It Girl isn’t perfect. She’s powerful. She’s the one who walks into chaos and owns it like it’s couture. This isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about energy. If you’ve ever felt too much, too loud, too bold… congratulations. You’re already her.
A Legacy of Love: What My Mother and Grandmother Taught Me About Strength
This Mother’s Day, I’m honoring two women who raised me in love, chaos, and courage. My grandmother Diane gave me stability. My mother Erica gave me fire. Together, they gave me everything I needed to survive, succeed, and heal.
The Loneliness of Outgrowing People Who Felt Like Home
Some friendships don’t end—they just fade. Not because of drama or betrayal, but because the version of you that once fit so easily with them doesn’t exist anymore. This piece is about the grief of growing apart, the guilt of moving forward, and the peace that comes when you stop shrinking to stay close.
The Power of Reinvention: You’re Allowed to Change Your Mind, Your Style, Your Story
You don’t owe anyone consistency. You’re allowed to evolve, to contradict yourself, and to outgrow past versions of you that no longer feel honest. Reinvention isn’t a betrayal—it’s a reclamation. This piece is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped by who they used to be.
I Was So Good at Performing, I Forgot I Wasn’t Okay
I wasn’t healed—I was productive. I wasn’t happy—I was useful. For years, I tied my worth to how impressive I could be. But behind every achievement was a scared, high-functioning girl performing perfection just to feel safe. This is the story of how I mistook survival for success—and what happened when the performance stopped.
Money Is My Survival Instinct
Money isn’t just currency to me—it’s safety, identity, and emotional control. I grew up fearing instability, and now I chase security like my life depends on it… because once, it did. This isn’t about greed. It’s about survival.
Breaking the Cycle: A Personal Look at Substance Abuse, Survival, and the Power to Change
I didn’t learn about addiction from a textbook. I learned it by living it—by watching my mom struggle, survive, and slowly reclaim her life. This isn’t just a story about drugs. It’s a story about pain, healing, and the love that survived in between.
5 Shows I Wish I Could Watch for the First Time Again
Some shows don’t just entertain—they imprint. These five series didn’t just pass time, they changed me. From redefining justice to teaching me the cost of revenge, these comfort shows have been on repeat for years. And if I could experience them for the first time all over again… I would, in a heartbeat.
