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.
The Power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and The Expansion of Technology
Artificial Intelligence isn’t new—it’s just louder now. From its 1950s origin to the generative boom of today, AI has always been a reflection of us: our potential, our flaws, and our future. In this post, I break down the real history of AI, celebrate the pioneers behind it, address ethical concerns, and explain how we can use it safely, mindfully, and powerfully. I also spotlight the urgent need for legal protections against AI-fueled exploitation, including the Take It Down Act and RAINN’s Day of Action. This isn’t just tech talk—it’s a conversation about justice, power, and the world we’re building next.
