Over 90% of criminal cases are resolved through plea bargains, not trials. But behind these quiet deals is a system built on pressure, power, and fear. This blog breaks down how plea bargains work—and why they raise serious questions about justice.

Deleted texts, call logs, flight invoices, and explicit footage—all of it collided in court as the prosecution unraveled what they say is a pattern of control, coercion, and coverup. From shady message chains to sex-trafficking evidence, Day 24 of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial was a turning point.

I pride myself on always catching mistakes before they happen—until I don’t. And when I slip, even just a little, my brain launches a full internal breakdown. This blog is for the perfectionists, the overthinkers, the ones who mentally punish themselves for the smallest misstep. If embarrassment feels like a personal apocalypse… same.

Tyler Perry’s new Netflix film, Straw, is a wild, heart-wrenching descent into one woman’s worst day. Taraji P. Henson delivers a raw, soul-cracking performance as Janiyah—a single mother pushed to the edge by loss, poverty, and a world that keeps failing her. 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.

From luxury hotels to Gucci pouches full of drugs, Days 22 and 23 of the Diddy trial spiraled into something darker. With witness after witness testifying about “King Nights,” hush money, explicit videos, and weapons designed to pierce body armor, the courtroom no longer feels like a place of justice—it feels like a crime scene unraveling in real-time.

For years, I treated my body like a problem to solve. I tied my worth to control, starvation, and perfection. But now, I’m rebuilding that relationship—through movement, nourishment, and real self-care. This isn’t a glow-up. It’s a healing. And I’m proud of the version of me that’s finally choosing care over control.

I’ve spent most of my life tying my self-worth to how much I get done. Productivity gave me confidence—but also guilt, burnout, and fear. In this post, I unpack where that mindset came from, what it’s cost me, and how I’m slowly learning that I’m still worthy… even when I rest.

Over three days of testimony, Jane delivered the most harrowing account yet in the federal case against Sean “Diddy” Combs. From coercion and financial control to emotional manipulation, sexual pressure, and even threats of extortion, her words painted a devastating portrait of abuse. This recap breaks down Days 19, 20, and 21—revealing how power, money, and fear kept her locked in a cycle she couldn’t easily escape.

On Day 18 of Diddy’s federal trial, one witness’s story peeled back the performance of love to reveal a pattern of power, coercion, and survival. From financial threats to forced piercings, “Jane” exposed what life looked like behind the scenes of a relationship built on fear and obedience.

RICO is one of the most powerful—and terrifying—legal tools the government has. In this blog, I break down what it actually means to be charged under RICO, how the law works, and why it’s showing up more and more in celebrity cases, corporate crime, and organized violence.

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.

I tried to open myself up. I even made a friendship application. But men keep reminding me why I stay distant. Why I don’t trust. Why survival mode still feels safer than connection. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about boundaries—and I’m done pretending.

I used to chase men like they were the last Uber out of hell—until they liked me back. Then I’d emotionally block them, disappear, or redirect that energy into work. Maybe it’s intimacy issues. Maybe it’s delusion. Either way, I’m healing. Slowly. Loudly. Hilariously.

Low-effort men don’t just waste your time—they chip away at your confidence. This blog unpacks the reality of being pursued for your image while your soul is ignored. It’s for every woman who’s ever been ghosted, gaslit, or glamorized by someone who only wanted the baddie, not the brain.

Blogging didn’t just give me a platform—it gave me power. In this personal essay, I reflect on how starting Raw Reflections helped me rediscover my voice, reclaim my identity, and build something no one can take from me.

As “Jane” took the witness stand in federal court, the curtain pulled back on what prosecutors describe as a disturbing pattern of psychological control, financial dependency, and sexual coercion. Meanwhile, Sean “Diddy” Combs was reprimanded by the judge for attempting to sway the jury—an ominous sign for a defense already under scrutiny.

Ozark wasn’t about justice — it was about survival. In this blog, I dissect every season and episode of the Netflix series, ranking characters, breaking down major plot shifts, and giving Marty Byrde the credit he deserves. From Ruth’s rise and fall to Wendy’s descent into delusion, this is the ultimate Ozark deep dive.

On Day 16 of Diddy’s federal trial, Bryana Bongolan—Cassie Ventura’s former friend—testified that she was held over a 17-story balcony by Combs in 2016. Her chilling account also included threats, drug use, and years of trauma that she says she’s still working to heal from.

You keep calling your ex a narcissist—but do you actually know what narcissistic personality disorder is? This post dives deep into the real signs, behaviors, and dangers of NPD—and why it’s not just about ego, it’s about emotional manipulation, control, and denial of reality.

Day 15 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial delivered emotional testimony, a surprise subpoena, and a dramatic courtroom disruption. From a hotel security guard’s revelation that Combs paid $100K for the infamous Cassie video to speculation over a former executive being pulled into the case, this trial shows no signs of slowing down.
