On June 4, 2025, exactly 6 months before my 50th birthday, a jury of 12 restored my name.
After several days of trial the jury decided that the 4th Ward Democratic Organization and Lamont Robinson for Alderman defamed me when they sent false mailers and text messages to over 30,000 voters.
I was awarded $1.475 mil.
I remember thinking, "is that it?"
No apology.
No new mailer to fix it.
No big news story to retell the false one that still sits on the Internet.
False news travels around the world before truth can make it to the front door.
And if course, there were the post trial motions. Their attempts to overturn the jury's decision.
This week, almost a year to the day, the judge decided in my favor on those motions‼️
One year later, I learned that restoration doesn't happen in a moment, it forms over time.
Publishing the book that I had been holding on to and doubting myself.
Getting on stages speaking and teaching again.
Building an educational social media platform to over 70,000 followers.
I am no longer hiding, shrinking myself, worried about the whispers.
Legacy is about writing your own story.
