Hey I’ve had 8 seizures. I usually work with kids and due to what they believe is now epilepsy I can’t. If anyone needs more proof I will screenshot and upload everything! 💚.
My cash app is $torrettoo and it’s a picture of sunflowers.

Eli have been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) it's a cancer of the bone marrow and blood and is one of the most aggressive forms of childhood cancer. We have been doing all we could financially to see our son out of this but the year haven't been so good to us(with the whole covid-19 and lockdown thing). Many family members came through and supported(which we do not take for granted). But in last few weeks the support and help reduced drastically ( which is understandably due to the festive season plus the second phase if covid-19). This is why we seek the public help (financially) to help us fight this together with Eli. Please help donate if you can. Thank you.

Black lives matter in France too. Justice for Adama
Hello guys, so, you are many to follow me for years, and you all know how vocal I have always been about racism, and the place of black people in fiction and society. However I didn’t quite shared my thoughts about what’s happening in USA rn here in tumblr, but I definitely did on twitter and instagram, now it’s your turn to read.
In the light of recent events, riots happening in many cities around the US and of course, the unspeakable actions of many policemen, I need to talk about what also happens in France.
We are in 2016, and a young man named Adama Traoré, was allegedly murdred by three policemen in the same fashion of George FLoyd. Like George, his last words were “ I CAN’T BREATHE.”
Since then, his sister Assa Traore, demands justice for her brother and an actual mediatic war happens between the Traoré family and the police representatives. Many reports contradict each other like what we can observe with the reports issued by the police concerning George Floyd. These two cases are very very similar, but unfortunately for Adama, we didn’t have a camera that could show the actions of these policemen. HOwever, many witnesses came to deliver what they saw showing that the police went above their duties, but Adama Traore never got justice.
What’s happening in the Usa, then, reasonates particularly here in France. You have to know, that black and Arab people are unfairly racially profiled since they are teenagers in the blocks and even beyond. I have the story of my own little brother who is racially profiled everytime he goes in the city. Many cases of police violence happened during the quarantine, and this cameras recorded unspeakble actions. We saw a young man being tackled, took in a van where he was lynched. We saw another getting tackled, taken somewhere where he couldn’t be directly seen and we heard his screams. Lately, a 14-years-old teenager was attacked when he was in custody.. He may loose his right eye.
Police violence is a very serious issue against people of color, here in France, especially Blakc and Arab people. I am telling you that France that arrogantly sees itself the land of justice and human rights doesn’t respect them.
Today a protest will be very repressed since because of Covid 19, protests are forbidden. People will ge hurt because of Paris chief of police who is… very dangerous.
I am telling you, France is watching the US, and I really would like that black people in the US know, that the entire diaspora in many countries in the West knows. Please support us as much as we support you. No justice, no peace everywhere.
Take care,
Oce.
Adama was killed 4 years ago on his 24th birthday by the police in 2016; Assa decided to fight for her brother and not let this crime be an “accident” or be part of the local news, for 4 years she kept fighting for her brother and for the black community. Her voice will not be stifled and we will keep shouting Adama's name until justice is done.

I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place.
My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.
After a lot of self-reflection on that incident, I’ve realized that violence against women is not always connected to being in a relationship. Instead, it happens because too many men treat all women as objects, which helps them to justify inflicting abuse against us when we choose to exercise our own free will.
From the moment we begin to navigate the intricacies of adolescence, we feel the weight of this threat, and the weight of contradictory expectations and misguided preconceptions. Many of us begin to put too much value to how we are seen by others. That’s if we are seen at all.
The issue is even more intense for Black women, who struggle against stereotypes and are seen as angry or threatening when we try to stand up for ourselves and our sisters. There’s not much room for passionate advocacy if you are a Black woman.
