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 a strategic, emotional, and bloody blueprint for how legacy can shape, twist, and consume you. And by the finale? Tariq isn’t running anymore. He’s the one calling the shots
The Rise, Reign, and Ruin of Ghost St. Patrick
He wanted to be James St. Patrick — a husband, a father, a businessman, a politician. But he died Ghost. A king without a crown, a dreamer undone by his own delusions. This is the rise, reign, and ruin of Power’s most tragic antihero — and why his story still haunts us.
