I saw this mentioned yesterday on Racialicious, I think, but then found a link to a news story on an amazing blog I discovered today via Afrobella: What About Our Daughters?

In light of the Jena protests yesterday and the general state of our world, it’s definitely important to spend some time @ What About Our Daughters? and in particular check out this story which I’ve been following via the various online resources:

Torture-rape victim faces bad-check counts

The part that really got to me?

The false check charge is for a $32.21 check to Dominos Pizza. The false pretenses charge is for $96.40 to the Kiddie Junction Consignment Shop in Beaver.

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]
