BE FEARLESS -FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY

Progressive, Civil & Women's Rights Activist/Advocate, Conscious Thought Leader, Media Influencer and Social Entrepreneur

I AM the ORIGINAL JERSEY GIRL. I AM what MAKES AMERICA GREAT. My family roots on my mother's side date back to the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indian Tribe of Bridgeton, Cumberland County, New Jersey to the first interracial marriage on record in the United States of America that built America's oldest African-American community. 

All races came together to build a self-sufficent community in New Jersey. True patriots who fought for freedom in the Revolutionary War. They wrote President Lincoln with the promise of building an army to fight slaveholders in the Civil War. When denied, they found innovative ways often controversial to FIGHT FOR FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY.

WE ARE WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT- NEW JERSEY- AMERICA'S BEST KEPT SECRET-DIVERSITY

My family roots on my father's side date back to the seeds of Civil and Women's Rights in Camden County, New Jersey. My great grandmother and great grandfather had 10 children on my father's side, whereas my great grandmother and great grandfather had 18 children on my mother's side. Today, many children never have the pleasure of growing up with their great grandparents. Why?

Is it HEALTHCARE? the ECONOMY? EQUAL PAY? EDUCATION?... Why are so many New Jerseyans living paycheck to paycheck in a fragmented sense of community and family?

Where is the American Dream my ancestors built right here in New Jersey? A FEARLESS COMMUNITY of all races, cultures and religions fighting for freedom and democracy, NOT divided by a fake presidency who gaslights fake news, to the point of convincing a congressman to become a traitor; not only to his party, but the nation. Congressman John Van Drew is now among the symbols of the HYPOCRACY of our DEMOCRACY.
