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.

What begins as a story of survival quickly spirals into psychological chaos, layered with hallucinations, heartbreak, and a gun-wielding breakdown inside a bank. In this blog, I unpack the plot, the performances, the twist—and the deeper truth behind the madness.

In this review, I break down the themes, characters, standout moments, and why Season 2’s finale changed everything.
