Social Media Coupled with Community Partnership Can Solve Injustice | Not These Two

Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. Social Media Coupled with Community Partnership Can Solve Injustice. June 29, 2016. July 3, 2016. In my work over the last 10 years in criminal and juvenile justice, getting a win has been piecemeal and quite the challenge. We often have to dig for wins in a published opinion editorial, in an email from a policymaker offering kudos on a report we released, or a tweet from a celebrity championing our cause and reusing a hashtag we created.

Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. 122 Black Men Shot Dead by Police in 187 Days? July 7, 2016. July 7, 2016. Note: Within just an hour or two of posting this blog on July 6 in the wee hours of the night, the nation learned about another fatal incident involving police and a Black male: Philando Castile. The number is now 123 Black men shot dead by police. Within hours. That Fusion statistic was preceded by the murder of Alton Sterling. Instead, I would be in a dimly lit cor...

Have You Seen My Children’s Childhood? Or Maybe Just Their Playground Equipment? | Not These Two
https://notthesetwo.wordpress.com/2016/06/01/have-you-seen-my-childrens-childhood-or-maybe-just-their-playground-equipment
Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. Have You Seen My Children’s Childhood? Or Maybe Just Their Playground Equipment? June 1, 2016. June 1, 2016. It wasn’t my effort to make the NotTheseTwo blog. A rant about the lack of community services in my city. 8211; and particularly my community – BUT, there is, in fact, a distinct connection between keeping kids from falling in the at-risk category and the services and activities they have access to. But hey, it all makes sense, right?

Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. The Next Four Years: A New Chapter of Child Rearing. November 9, 2016. November 10, 2016. But today starts a new day. November 9, 2016. The day after the Clinton-Trump election. One of their 8th grade school mates this morning took to Snap Chat to tell everyone to calm down; he said the presidency doesn’t even affect people their age. Ah, how sweet. And naive. So, yeah – the presidency DOES affect kids! Lucky for these two, (and really, it&...

To Be or Not to Be Independent: The Ugly Reality of Short Leashed vs. Free-range Kids | Not These Two
https://notthesetwo.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/to-be-or-not-to-be-independent-the-ugly-reality-of-short-leashed-vs-free-range-kids
Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. To Be or Not to Be Independent: The Ugly Reality of Short Leashed vs. Free-range Kids. July 3, 2016. July 3, 2016. That I’ve been advocating for and writing about recently. No one was physically hurt, but the family and the children that had to duck, cover, hit the pavement are definitely experiencing mental trauma. And apparently, so am I. So maybe now you’ll get why. Aren’t the free-range children. That I’d like them to be. Mayb...We don&...

Why | Not These Two
https://notthesetwo.wordpress.com/about
Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. Formerly, in my daily work in communications at two national nonprofits dedicated to reforming the adult and juvenile criminal justice systems, I had to repeat the stat that 1 in 3 Black men touch the justice system at some point in their life. I also reiterated the fact that the number of women in the criminal justice system is on the rise. So, that’s the why! Now I need to figure out the how! Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Is it Just Me or is that Racist? | Not These Two
https://notthesetwo.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/is-it-just-me-or-is-that-racist
Mothering to Ensure My Children Stay Out of the Prison Pipeline. Is it Just Me or is that Racist? June 27, 2016. I’m real quick to point out disparity in anything. Especially when it comes to race. This time, however, I left it up to my son to point out the disparity – or not. You’ve probably already heard about the Red Cross and their swim safety poster. He saw it, too. “All the Black kids are the ones doing the bad things,” he said. I wrote earlier about choosing the positive narrative. Too many of our...
