The Trans Handy Ma'am shows us there's no one right way to do home repair, and there's no one right way to live your life. However, legislators seem determined to define what it means to be an acceptable human according to their own narrow worldview. www.creators.com/read/bonnie-...

Every interaction you have creates a ripple, whether you intend it to or not. Mindy Corporon wants it to be one of kindness. How she came to this resolve after a white supremacist killed her son and her father is why I wanted to talk to her. www.creators.com/read/bonnie-...

The 1979 legal challenge to dumping garbage on Black Houston, 1990 Dumping in Dixie, and 1994 Clinton EJ Exec Order were not about Affirmative Action. Biden's 2023 EJ Exec. Order was not DEI. Equal access to clean air & water and safe environments to live are RIGHTS of all Americans, not DEI.
