This presentation is crucial to educators interested in the future and empowerment of inner-city youth of color. View the entire video here.

Admitted rapist Sharieff Mulkey, Philadelphia PA, attending university, 26 or 27 years old, models on the side and has sold sex and done nude shoots and maybe even porn (I found out later, he doesn’t share this) There is also a witness who saw me running out of the house after he raped me. Police don’t fucking care.

Please share this. He is an abuser. He won’t stop.

When Angelica Sweeting’s daughter Sophia said she wanted “‘yellow hair’ and white skin like her dolls had so that she could be pretty,” Sweeting sought a doll that looked a lot more like her daughter. When she only found dolls that were essentially a “spray-painted” version of a doll with white features, Sweeting decided to make her own. She set the Kickstarter goal at $25,000 — but was blown away by what happened next.
