BREAKING THROUGH THE TRAUMA OF DOMESTIC ABUSE… (PART TWO).
BREAKING THROUGH THE TRAUMA OF DOMESTIC ABUSE… (PART TWO).
The Victory of Self Realization, Self-Love and Self Worth.
By George L. Addison
Choke
He watched her head snap back
like the hair tie his daughter used to control
her unruly curls
His hands…
once used to trace horoscopes
on the small of her back
as she dreamed of stars,
closed around her throat
ever so gently
it was at this moment that he
realized how fragile she was
a disaster…

BREAKING THROUGH THE TRAUMA OF DOMESTIC ABUSE… (PART ONE).
The Victory of Self Realization, Self-Love and Self Worth.
By George L. Addison
“In the moment, as mad as I was, somehow, I was still shocked when he pinned me to the fridge with one hand around my throat, aimed his fist just so to knock me out, and released. Then he dragged me across the floor, took my keys, and left. Our two-year-old son saw all of it, and I will forever regret not getting…

BASKETBALL… VALUING THE SPORT… ITS LESSONS AND CONSEQUENCES
One man’s journey to define his fork in the road…
BY: George L. Addison, Jr.
Sport has the power to change the world… It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.

THE POWER OF LEGACY...
THE POWER OF LEGACY…
THE REAWAKENING OF A NEW SENSE OF BELONGING
BY: GEORGE ADDISON
All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race: racism, religion, where we grew up, class, socioeconomic status. What makes us be so selfish and prideful? What keeps us from wanting to help the next man? What makes us so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the legacy of an entire race?

Some day we’ll be able to measure the power of words. I think they are things. They get on the walls. They get in your wallpaper. They get in your rugs, in your upholstery, and your clothes, and finally in to you.Maya…
