CONGRATULATIONS NEW YORK!! And I have good news, WE (Cali) are next!! AB 32, authored by Assemblymember @robbonta, will end the state of California from entering into and renewing contracts with private prisons.
AB 32 already passed its house of origin (the Assembly) and will be heard in Senate Public Safety on Tuesday, July 2nd! It’s been a joy to lobby this bill and I can’t wait to see it through to the governors desk to be signed into law!
We should NEVER incentivize criminalizing and incarcerating people to line the pockets of private contractors and their stakeholders — which is exactly what private prisons do.
Divest. Divest. Divest.
One by one, little by little, we're doing what's needed to create a better California for all. Just wait on it, we workin!

People have asked me... how are our youth getting trafficked here in our own country? A complex answer..but here is something I am most passionate about sharing. *
Traffickers have been interviewed and share the kind of ( mostly girls) they target. 1. The most vulnerable youth (fosters, at-risk, troubled homes) 2. Children raised in faith-filled homes because they say they are “naive and good at keeping secrets”. So it’s my main goal in this movement to build an army of youth that a trafficker strays away from. Strong, educated, empowered, confident youth that can not be “broken down, manipulated and controlled”
.
.
Parents, teachers, leaders get educated. Talk to your children about sex-REGULARLY. Be a wise advisor in this. Plug into a local nonprofit in your area and understand this global plague with education, watch the horrific documentaries, know what YOU have to do to protect the youth in your life. Knowledge is much more than power in this war, it’s a lifesaver. *
Let’s raise a generation of @kailanimkim who know how VALUED, Loved and strong they are...where their outside beauty doesn’t hold a flame to their inner beauty and wisdom. Let’s turn the tide on this criminal enterprise and see this awesome next generation move mountains.

Yep! Jesus, Jiujitsu... and working digital minimalism this summer with intentional screen time- it’s all liberating and peace filled. And if I can find that peace and joy in my personal life while raging war in the super dark ministry work of sex trafficking of youth- anyone can. ❤️Be encouraged- there is hope in all things with Jesus Christ. . .

Perseverance, grit, determination, growth mindset... all of it is . Stepping out to see the world change for the youth has been filled with constant flaming darts of opposition... but I will keep moving towards the mission, “set captives free” is the constant word from God. I love how the jiujitsu mat is a tangible experience of life’s ups and downs. .
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. - #James1:12

Happy Freedom Day! #Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the U.S. In 2017, NBO held a bail out in honor of #Juneteenth to free our people from cages in honor of the tradition of Black folks freeing one another.

I love watching this boy’s fearless adventurous spirit form through the years and travels. As his mama I pray that I can always guide and protect him with the Lord’s direction through the grey foggy seasons of life to the bright sunshine seasons. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

These are my people and I love them dearly. I’ve had lots of questions and messages and calls about why I am a non participant in the dating world. It’s a complex answer but here is the most simple response - I weigh my choices daily- what I say “yes” to means I’m saying “no” to something else. Dating is a boring subject to me personally, and definitely not worth saying no to my people for, ministry fun, and Jiujitsu. Also, I’m a lady who thoroughly enjoys and needs lots of alone time with God. My best advice to singles is to spend time with God and let Him write the story, if someone’s hearts desire is to be married, God will work that out. . But it’s ok if it’s not someone’s desire, and I fall into that category. Maybe the Lord will change that one day? Who knows? All part of the wonderful, mystery and awe of God. For now I am just soaking up the joy and peace with a grateful heart to my eternal love- Jesus Christ ❤️
