Happy fathers dayCurrently, I do not have a relationship with my dad. However, I am here to say I love you and Happy Father's day! I hope someday we can have that father and son talk and get to know each other. Although I did not have a relationship with my dad, I am thankful for my mentors who took on that role to help me throughout my life.

The sound of the American and Confederate flag flapping in the wind caused a moment of contention inside of me. Instantly, the historic ideologies associated with the Confederate flag raised my fight or flight.
