Somebody is lying, and there must be accountability.

A witness gave information that helped accuse a man of Chris’s murder, and now that witness has reportedly recanted. Either false information was given to law enforcement in the beginning, or the truth is being denied now. Investigators need to determine which statement is false and hold that person accountable.

You cannot point the finger in a murder investigation, send everyone down one path, and then simply take it back as if no damage was done. If the witness knowingly lied, charges should follow. If fear, pressure, threats, or intimidation caused the recantation, that must be investigated too.

None of this brings Chris back. It does not comfort his parents, help his children, or give his family the answers they deserve. It only leaves them with an open wound, a questioned arrest, and no clear explanation of who took his life.

Chris is still dead. His children still have to grow up without him. His family is still grieving. Now they are left wondering whether the investigation was built on false information while the real killer may still be free.

This is bigger than gossip, street loyalty, friendships, or fear. A life was taken. Someone knows what happened, and the truth matters.

Chris and his family deserve real answers. They deserve a complete investigation. They deserve justice.

Prosecutors have dismissed murder charges against a man accused in a weekend homicide at the request of police. (Full story below.)

The surgeon said, “I don’t know how you’re eating solid foods!”

Me in my head: I put the food in my mouth, chew it up, and swallow it. 😅🤣😂

Listen, I’m a Sagittarius. Nothing stays serious in my head for too long! ♐️😂

Whatever you do, just don’t give up!

Some days I feel like a complete train wreck. Other days I feel like I can conquer the whole world. But no matter what kind of day it is, I keep going.

I have three big reasons:

1. Legend expects his granny to be able to play and run with him.
2. I need enough strength to pick up both of my grandbabies at the same time.
3. When it’s all said and done, I need to look in the mirror and feel like ME again.

So here I am, on this bike at therapy, putting in the work one pedal at a time. This journey is about more than losing weight or looking good. It’s about rebuilding my strength, reclaiming my body and being present for the life God has blessed me with.

I’m on a mission because legacy doesn’t build itself. 💪🏽❤️

I wasn’t close to my little cousin, so I’m not going to perform grief or pretend that we had a relationship we didn’t have. But he was still my family, another young life was taken, and the larger issue needs to be addressed.

Being from down that dirt road in St. Stephen, I know there isn’t much for people to do. That location has become the local club and gathering spot, which means the people operating it have a responsibility to make safety a priority.

This is now the third death at that location. Three deaths are not an isolated incident. That is a pattern that demands immediate change.

Alcohol, drugs, weapons, and conflict cannot continue to mix with inadequate security. Everyone entering should be searched. Anyone caught with a weapon, selling or using drugs, fighting, threatening people, or repeatedly creating problems should be permanently banned. The property needs trained security, working cameras, controlled entry points, and clear safety procedures.

This is not about taking away the only place people have to gather. It is about making sure people can gather without another family receiving a devastating phone call.

People should be able to go out, enjoy themselves, and return home alive.

I’m speaking as someone who comes from that dirt road and wants better for St. Stephen. We cannot keep accepting violence simply because there are limited entertainment options in our town.

Three deaths are three too many. Something has to change before another life is lost.

Prayers for his parents, siblings, children, loved ones, and everyone directly affected. 🙏🏾

Omarie Gaillard, 24, has been charged with murder in the slaying of a man in the parking lot of a St. Stephen nightclub. Multiple weapons and more than one person may have been involved. (Full story below.)

Drove 1 hour and 45 minutes each way to spend time with Grandma Ola, then made rice, baked beans, deviled eggs, string beans, potato salad, and potatoes for the shop and the family.

Came home and still grilled my lamb, turkey sausage, and chicken wings. Then I ate, cleaned up, showered, and officially checked into Club Bed with a golf ball sized knot on my leg from the bugs that clearly chose violence at the cookout! 😅😂🤣

But before ending my day, I checked on my cousin after the unimaginable loss of her son Saturday night. Life has a way of reminding you that showing up for the people you love matters, even when you’re tired.

Today was full, heavy, blessed, and exhausting. Now I’m giving myself permission to rest. 🙏🏾❤️

Facebook sucks when you find out family died as soon as you open the app! Come through God 🙌🏽🕊️🙏🏽

Whew! I was in physical therapy crying today. I mean real tears rolling while I was trying to do those exercises! 😭

Then they added a new exercise today, like I wasn’t already fighting for my life. By the time I finished with the heat, electricity and everything else, I could barely get up out of the chair. I felt like a little old lady! 😂

My therapist told me I have to do those exercises three times a day, or I’m going to end up hunched over, holding my back and struggling to walk.

Lord knows I cannot be in that predicament! I have houses to sell, bonds to write, cars to move and roles to act. So I guess I’ll be somewhere crying and exercising three times a day! 😩😂

So I’m on the phone when she says, “Mama has a fever of 104.2. I thought you should know.”

I hung up and called Mama immediately.

Me: “How are you?”

Mama: “Oh, I’m fine. Just getting over a little cold.”

Me: “What’s going on?”

Mama: “I had a little fever, but you ain’t got to come scoop me up and take me to Columbia!” 😂🤣

She already knew! She said, “As soon as somebody says I don’t feel good or I’m sick, you be on your way. That’s why I don’t know what they call and tell you for!”

Then she gave me the full report: her temperature was already coming down, she took a test, it wasn’t COVID, and according to her, it was “just a little cold.”

I love that she explained everything because she knows I would have been on that highway headed to pick her up. And once I got there, she wouldn’t have had a choice. She was coming to Columbia with me until I decided she was better! 😂❤️
