The Constitution is the REAL "Creative Brief" for California

Outside my apartment in Venice Beach, I met lots of people just walking to my apartment to my car. I spent six years of my thirty-four years in Venice Beach, California | After College, then again after moving way from Woodland Hills when LAUSD made up allegation that kept me out of the classroom for four years with pay from 2019-to September of 2023. I still have my credential, but lost my job through LAUSD's "Kraken" narrative that gas-lights innocent teachers to protect their financial interests, rather than serve students.

I believe that we lived in a world that doesn’t have the structure for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Why?

Because reality is much more harsh than you could understand just by watching the news; reality is verifiable dystopia -- it’s easy to live in a bubble if you’re doing okay; but when you’re personally affected, it opens your eyes to the reality that you normally wouldn’t see.

I was part of a retaliatory narrative inside LAUSD schools; I saw how the system spent loads of money to push a false narrative through its systems that I knew was really just a waste of time and money; it took me a while to realize that I had lived in a bubble; I really thought everybody was doing their best to make the world as it should be; but they weren’t, and that direct knowledge transformed me.

I felt overwhelmed by my naivety.

I had to look back and realize what a fool I had been.

My faith in God gave me hope

I felt God was awakening me from the bubble he had kept me in to prepare me for the next chapter of my life – reality.
