The personal is political!
I feel concerned about all areas of the city whether it affects me directly or not!
But nobody is that lucky...the statistics are against us. In the last year in my life alone have been three incidents of violence affecting me and the people I love and care about.Two of these incidents were deadly. The most recent was an assault that nearly resulted in death and was especially disturbing to me personally not just for its horrific magnitude but because I suffered and lived through a very similar incident 22 years ago that happened to take place in the same area of the city.
I am just mad at myself that I could not have exited this hellish place earlier! I will get outta this place-if it's the last thing I ever do!!!!
