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.

Severance: A Mind-Bending Workplace Horror We Can’t Clock Out Of

I had to watch Severance twice to appreciate its brilliance. The first time, I was bored and confused. The second time? I was obsessed.
