Dude, #IAMBritney, and it’s the ugly truth. I’ve been a fan of the pop star since Baby One More Time. As a lover of any big artist, you take a great deal of personal heat when you begin to defend them, specifically now in the days of social media commentary. Britney Spears is a cautionary…
Isolation is the most dangerous aspect of experiencing a manic or depressive episode. In the tragic case of Elisa Lam, whose the topic of Netflix’s Crime Case: Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, a young Chinese-Canadian woman is found dead, floating in the hotel’s water tank.

I presented at the first Be Well event with my team at www.forusnation.comback in May. It was mental health awareness month.

“It’s not too late for them to do the right thing,” she tweeted. “Lincoln Project should take the L and publicly pledge to give a lot of their fundraising to the people who actually made a big difference.” AOC has been mouthing-off like the Bronx native that she is. We love it. But we monitor…
