The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) held a four-day exhibit in the Orlando area that presented shocking evidence of mental health abuse and dangerous psychiatric drugging of children.ORLANDO, Fla. - April 1, 2025 - PRLog -- Hundreds of concerned Floridians toured an exhibit highlighting the history of psychiatry and exposing mental health abuse this week in Kissimmee. The exhibit, "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death", travels all over the world reaching tens of thousands of people annually. Designed to raise awareness on such human rights abuse as the use of electroshock, involuntary examination and the drugging of children with dangerous psychiatric medications, the exhibit is based on the permanent museum located at the international headquarters for CCHR in Los Angeles, California.Hosted by the Florida chapter of CCHR, an award-winning nonprofit that exposes abuse in the mental health industry, in partnership with the Boomtown Community Partners (BCP), a cornerstone of community engagement in Central Florida, the exhibit attracted people from all walks of life.During a special presentation recognizing the co-founder of BCP, Isaac "Coach Boom" Vasquez, for his work to help youth, the president for CCHR Florida, Diane Stein, stressed that this exhibit imparts real understanding of the roots of psychiatric abuse, resulting in those who need help receiving real help and not coercive treatment such as involuntary examination or dangerous treatment such as drugs and electroshock.Other than California, Florida is the only state that has a permanent installation of the "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" exhibit. Located in the CCHR Center in downtown Clearwater, the museum exhibit was unveiled in July of 2015. Presenting the unvarnished history of psychiatry while also providing information on the state of psychiatry today, the exhibit consists of 14 audiovisual displays revealing the cold, hard facts about psychiatric abuses using interviews from more than 160 doctors, attorneys, educators and survivors to expose the multi-billion dollar fraud that is psychiatry.Over 10,000 people have toured the Florida museum including students from nursing schools and technical colleges from across the state who come to the museum to go through the 2-hour self-guided tour as part of their clinical days finding the experience to be informative and eye opening. Coupling tours of the museum with seminars and workshops delivered by attorneys and healthcare professionals on the mental health law, known as the Baker Act, CCHR is working to educate lawmakers, doctors and all private citizens on mental health abuse and their rights under the law. The museum is open daily and events are held weekly and monthly. Both are free to the general public. To learn more, please call 727-442-8820 or visit www.cchrflorida.org.

A prestigious award recognized five decades of relentless advocacy for justice and reform fought by CCHR and survivors of electroshock torture at a psychiatric hospital.LOS ANGELES - March 31, 2025 - PRLog -- The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a leading international mental health watchdog, and survivors of the now-closed Lake Alice Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit in New Zealand have been honored with the prestigious New Zealand Community of the Year Award for their decades-long fight for justice and mental health reform.[1]   Presented through the Mitre 10-Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards, the honor recognizes individuals and organizations that significantly contribute to the social, economic, cultural, or environmental well-being of their communities.[2] CCHR and the Lake Alice survivors were recognized for their unwavering advocacy against human rights abuses in psychiatric institutions.The award follows widespread international attention in 2024 after an official report confirmed the abuse at Lake Alice constituted torture. The New York Times reported that the atrocities included "sexual assault, electric shocks, chemical restraints, medical experimentation, sterilization, starvation, and beatings."[3]CCHR first investigated Lake Alice Hospital in the early 1970s, uncovering widespread abuse of children and adolescents. The organization committed itself to exposing the truth, protecting victims, and demanding justice and compensation. In 2022, the New Zealand Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care recognized that CCHR "remained involved in advocating for survivors of the unit and bringing attention to what went on there."[4]In a landmark legal development, New Zealand Solicitor-General Una Jagose determined that the "treatment" administered to children at Lake Alice met the legal definition of torture.[5]Lake Alice survivor Bruce Harkness praised the organization's efforts:"CCHR have dedicated themselves for decades to fight for this. They are the moralistic people that have got behind us and without them we would not be here today. They are true champions."CCHR's Role in Exposing the AbusesThe award presentation recognized that:"The former Lake Alice patients bravely fought for justice with steadfast support from the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (NZ), which first uncovered the ill-treatment in 1976. CCHR continued its advocacy, taking the matter before government agencies, health officials, and ultimately the United Nations Committee Against Torture."In 2020, the UN Committee Against Torture upheld CCHR's formal complaint and urged the New Zealand government to thoroughly investigate the matter. This led to formal agency inquiries and an independent Royal Commission, both confirming that the abuse amounted to torture.CCHR continued to fight for nearly 50 years to expose the crimes committed at Lake Alice and bring justice to its victims. In the presentation of the award, it was stated:The former Lake Alice patients bravely fought for justice with steadfast support from the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (NZ), which first uncovered the ill-treatment in 1976. CCHR continued its advocacy, taking the matter before government agencies, health officials, and ultimately the United Nations Committee Against Torture. In a landmark decision the UN Committee upheld their formal complaint in 2020 urging the New Zealand government to properly investigate what took place at Lake Alice.In 2020, the United Nations upheld CCHR's formal complaint and urged the New Zealand government to conduct a thorough investigation. This resulted in inquiries by the New Zealand Police and the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care, which concluded that the abuses at Lake Alice amounted to torture."The ongoing courage and commitment displayed by the survivors and CCHR—led by director Mike Ferriss and researcher Victor Boyd—has resulted in real impact, ensuring survivor voices are finally heard, paving the way for systemic change and accountability." [6]As a result of CCHR's advocacy and the survivors' perseverance, the New Zealand government finally acknowledged the harm endured by victims. The award judges noted: The Crown prosecutor's office has since reimbursed survivors for the abuse they suffered.[7]Recognition from New Zealand LeadersDuring the Royal Commission hearings (2022-2024), Chair Judge Coral Shaw praised CCHR for its dedication:"CCHR has gone to extraordinary efforts since the 1970s to keep this flame alive on behalf of survivors. It's been an extraordinary effort."[8]Royal Commissioner Paul Gibson added:We acknowledged CCHR's role in uncovering the truth about Lake Alice in the 1970s and its ongoing advocacy, including taking the matter to the UN. Their extensive evidence is impressive, and we thank them for their tenacity and endurance.[9]Prime Minister's Apology to SurvivorsNew Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon addressed survivors last year, stating:"The State was supposed to care for you, but instead, many of you were subjected to the most horrendous physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse.""People in positions of authority—whom you should have been able to trust—failed you in the worst possible way. When you tried to speak up, those same people turned a blind eye, covered it up, and prevented you from seeking justice for far too long."A Global Call for ReformThe Royal Commission called for a ban on all forms of inhumane treatment in psychiatric and state-run institutions.[10]Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International, emphasized the global relevance of this decision: "These recommendations don't just apply to New Zealand. They apply to the U.S. and worldwide. There is no place for electroshock treatment in any healthcare system. It must be banned."She said, "The New Zealand Community of the Year Award is a monumental recognition of the decades of advocacy by CCHR and the Lake Alice survivors. It underscores the importance of justice, accountability, and systemic reform to protect future generations from similar abuses."About CCHR:The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a global watchdog dedicated to exposing psychiatric abuses and ensuring the protection of human rights in mental health care. Founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and professor of psychiatry, Dr. Thomas Szasz, CCHR has been instrumental in reforming laws, shutting down abusive psychiatric facilities, and advocating for the rights of mental health patients worldwide.Sources:[1] Lake Alice Survivors and the Citizens Commission on Human Rights New ZealandNew Zealand Community of the Year, nzawards.org.nz/winners/lake-alice-survivors-and-the-citizens-commission-on-human-rights-new-zealand/[2] nzawards.org.nz/winners/kindness-collective/[3] www.cchrint.org/2024/07/26/new-zealand-inquiry-findings-child-psychiatric-torture-prompt-us-reforms/; www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/world/asia/new-zealand-abuse-in-care-report.html; nzawards.org.nz/nomination/lake-alice-survivors-and-mike-ferris/[4] www.cchrint.org/2022/12/30/lake-alice-psychiatric-hospital-children-were-tortured/[5] www.cchrint.org/2022/12/30/lake-alice-psychiatric-hospital-children-were-tortured/; www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/royal-commission-of-inquiry-into-state-care-finds-lake-alice-children-were-tortured/ZB3EVQL765ATLMDKSX6XHSTXEA/[6] www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360619822/real-impact-lake-alice-survivors-win-nzer-year-awards; nzawards.org.nz/nomination/lake-alice-survivors-and-mike-ferris/[7] www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360619822/real-impact-lake-alice-survivors-win-nzer-year-awards; nzawards.org.nz/nomination/lake-alice-survivors-and-mike-ferris/[8] www.cchrint.org/2021/07/01/cchrs-work-acknowledged-nz-inquiry-lake-alice-psychiatric-child-torture/[9] www.cchrint.org/2022/07/11/cchr-praised-for-47-years-of-exposing-psychiatric-abuses-in-new-zealand/[10] www.1news.co.nz/2024/07/24/horrific-and-harrowing-parliament-responds-to-abuse-in-care-report/; www.cchrint.org/2024/07/26/new-zealand-inquiry-findings-child-psychiatric-torture-prompt-us-reforms/

SAN JOSE, Calif. - March 30, 2025 - PRLog -- The Tenacious Group (TTG) has been recognized as a 2025 Climate Smart Equity Champion by Climate Smart San José for its leadership in climate education and community empowerment. Through its Air Quality Initiative, Thrive2, TTG is bridging the climate literacy gap by equipping students with the knowledge and tools to address air pollution and advocate for climate justice.In partnership with the Santa Clara County Youth Climate Initiative, TTG is integrating climate education into 10 East San José high schools, fostering a new generation of environmental leaders. Programs like AIR CARE, immersive field trips, and hands-on learning experiences help strengthen climate resilience in frontline communities, ensuring long-term environmental and social impact.Additionally, five students from Yerba Buena High School, participating in TTG's Raising Expectations, Standards, and Honor 180 (RESH 180) program, have also been named Climate Smart Equity Champions. As part of the Thrive2 Air Quality Initiative, they designed and built mobile plant carts for schools, featuring air-purifying snake plants to help reduce carbon dioxide levels and improve air quality. Their leadership has not only enhanced climate literacy but also boosted their academic performance—demonstrating the power of environmental engagement. Their efforts are inspiring future students to take action, creating a lasting impact on climate justice and community resilience.Since 2000, TTG has empowered marginalized youth of color in underserved communities across San José and Santa Clara County. By introducing students and schools to climate literacy, TTG provides meaningful entry points for climate action. Reflecting on this journey, Adam Ybarra, Former NFL Oakland Raiders Chaplain and Executive Director of The Tenacious Group, shares, "Engaging in the climate space has transformed my approach, allowing me to see people through an environmental lens. Being immersed in climate science, tools, and methodologies has enhanced my prevention and intervention strategies, empowering people to live with purpose—and, just as importantly, inspiring others to create positive climate and environmental changes in their schools, neighborhoods, and communities."Looking ahead, TTG is committed to building an equitable regional framework for impactful climate education. Its initiatives include developing interactive classroom curricula and climate-focused videos on air quality and extreme heat, emphasizing ways to combat air pollution and promote cleaner air in homes, schools, and communities. TTG also aims to establish a resilience network by launching certified train-the-trainer programs designed to reach under-resourced communities. These trainings will equip nonprofits, government agencies, and academic institutions with tools and methodologies to implement climate solutions in their communities. Ybarra emphasizes, "We hope to lay the groundwork for awareness and understanding of climate issues, ensuring this subject becomes a priority in East San José schools. Many of our students live in low-income, historically under-invested neighborhoods, where climate challenges are more severe. Despite these barriers, students are rising to the occasion—empowering themselves to adapt and thrive in a changing environmental landscape."In honor of César Chávez, we share his powerful words: "We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community." This sentiment embodies TTG's mission—empowering youth and communities through climate literacy and environmental action.Visit our website www.thetenaciousgroup.com to explore data from Thrive2 participants.Click the link to view the award notice from the City of San Jose Climate Smart Equity ChampionIf you are interested in having Dr. Adam Ybarra speak at your upcoming event or conference, we welcome your inquiries.

A raw, philosophical dive into love's messy reality—unflinching, dark, and unapologetically human. Unlike typical romance novels, LOVE BEFORE COVID is a dialogue-driven exploration of human flaws and ideologies, blending fiction with metaphysical inquiry. It's not about comfort; it's about confrontation and insight.DALLAS - April 1, 2025 - PRLog -- Laced with dark humour, it is best described as traumatic (sur)realism. Love Before Covid takes the reader on a journey through the mind of Joe Pastorius - jazz fan, poet, and victim of horrendous sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of his mother.The real-time dialogues between the characters that emerge from Joe's unconscious come via arguably corrupted memories and dystopian dreams. They tell us more about Joe than he could ever know, and perhaps more about our world than you could ever imagine.Dialogues entail an exploration of clashing perspectives and opinions, that cause reflection. Today though, our world has been infiltrated by online dialogues that tend to feel like wild unfiltered streams of human thought, raw, chaotic and often polarising and devoid of much reflection. Arguably that attitude, and lack of reflection is mirrored by the characters you will encounter. The reflection comes from the reader as the situations unfold. Your moral boundaries will without doubt be pushed to the limit.You will meet an altruist who can't stand up for himself, a charming but violent public intellectual, a beautiful dancer who hates fat people, a flirty and gregarious bartender who will do anything to get pregnant, a traumatised art historian who never wants to be a mother, a successful intellectual Mexican writer who is secretly disapproving of her childhood friend's career as a pornstar, the teenage genius son of that pornstar who has sexual fantasises about his mother, a woman who is pressured into cutting off her penis and a successful therapist who has a habit of ruining people's lives.And yes, before you ask, some of the characters in this book eventually catch Covid 19. However, there is always hope. For Joe Pastorious, that comes in the form of the psychopath named Janet Waverley.About the AuthorDuring the pandemic Dr Greg Scorzo completed his first novel 'LOVE BEFORE COVID' as well as producing an innovative radio play based on 6 chapters from that book, also called – LOVE BEFORE COVID.The 'Art of Thinking' with Greg Scorzo podcast is available on YouTube where he does friendly philosophical interrogation of ideas with many interesting thinkers. Also available via Audioboom linking to all major podcast platforms.His extended essays on Arts and Culture as well as Cultural Issues are available on this platform http://www.gregscorzo.comGet your copy for just $0.99 for a limited time: https://mybook.to/LoveBeforeCovid

Losing a loved one is one of life's most painful experiences. While the grief can feel overwhelming, unanswered questions about the cause and manner of death often add an additional layer of complexity to the mourning process.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - March 26, 2025 - PRLog -- For many families, private autopsy services have become an essential step toward finding peace of mind and understanding the medical circumstances surrounding their loss.Postmortem Pathology, based in Kansas City, Missouri, specializes in providing comprehensive private autopsy services conducted by experienced pathologists. With a mission to offer clarity and closure, the company highlights the importance of considering a private autopsy in cases of unexpected or unexplained death.What Is an Autopsy and Why Does It Matter?According to the official autopsy definition, an autopsy is a medical examination of a body after death, typically performed to determine the cause of death and assess other contributing medical factors. While most are familiar with hospital-conducted or state-mandated autopsies, a private autopsy differs in the sense that it is requested and paid for independently by families seeking a deeper understanding.Dan Lingamfelter, lead pathologist at Postmortem Pathology, explains, "A private autopsy often becomes the missing piece of the puzzle for families navigating the uncertainty of a sudden loss. We provide unbiased, detailed reports that not only uncover answers but also bring a sense of closure."Key Benefits of Private Autopsy ServicesFamilies turn to Postmortem Pathology for various reasons, including their comprehensive approach and dedication to help loved ones during difficult times. Here's why private autopsies are so important for grieving families:1. Uncover the Truth – Private autopsies help identify the actual cause and manner of death, providing families with long-sought answers. Whether the loss was sudden or involved complicated medical circumstances, knowing the truth can bring a sense of resolution.2. Legal and Insurance Clarity – For deaths with potential legal or insurance implications—such as vehicular accidents, workplace incidents, or disputes over policies—a detailed autopsy report can provide the documentation needed to settle claims.3. An Unbiased, Professional Analysis – Postmortem Pathology's team consists of highly skilled pathologists who provide independent and impartial reports without outside influence. Families can trust that findings are based purely on medical expertise.4. A Path to Closure – Understanding the medical details of a loved one's passing helps families come to terms with their loss. Private autopsies can resolve lingering doubts and bring emotional closure during a difficult time.5. A Second Opinion – If a family has questioned the findings of a prior autopsy, or if the cause of death was categorized vaguely as "undetermined," Postmortem Pathology's private autopsy services can provide critical clarity and a second opinion.Why Choose Postmortem Pathology?Specializing in private autopsies across Missouri, Postmortem Pathology stands out for its dedication to compassionate care and meticulous reporting. Its services are particularly valuable to families navigating complex health circumstances or those in need of additional medical insights."Our job is more than science—it's about offering families the answers they deserve," Dan Lingamfelter says. "We take immense pride in helping families uncover the truth while treating every case and client with the utmost respect."Create Peace of MindWhen facing the sudden loss of a loved one, unanswered questions can weigh heavily on families. A private autopsy provides the precision, clarity, and compassion necessary to address doubts, resolve uncertainties, and create a pathway towards peace.For more information about private autopsy services, contact Postmortem Pathology at https://postmortmepath.comAbout Postmortem Pathology:Postmortem Pathology is Kansas City's premier provider of private autopsy services.

Grassroots Leaders Call on Congress to Protect the Vote of Every American CitizenCHARLESTON, W.Va. - April 1, 2025 - PRLog -- Citizens for West Virginia Election Integrity (C4WVEI) and the Election Integrity Network (EIN) have joined forces to support the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a crucial measure ensuring that only U.S. citizens can register and vote in federal elections.Election integrity remains a top priority across the country, with thousands of volunteers working to increase transparency and accountability in the voting process. By partnering with EIN, C4WVEI gains access to national election integrity initiatives, legislative efforts, and resources aimed at strengthening voter protections in West Virginia and beyond.The SAVE Act enforces voter eligibility laws by requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship upon registration, mandating the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls, and imposing penalties on election officials who knowingly register noncitizens. It also allows citizens to take legal action against officials who fail to uphold these voter protections.Ed Fisher, Founder of C4WVEI, emphasized the bill's importance:"The right to vote is the cornerstone of our republic. The SAVE Act guarantees that only American citizens determine our nation's future. Without citizenship verification, our elections remain vulnerable to manipulation. We urge West Virginia's representatives to support this critical legislation."Cleta Mitchell, Founder of EIN, reinforced the urgency of this initiative:"Election integrity is not a partisan issue—it's an American issue. The SAVE Act is a necessary step in securing our elections and restoring public confidence. Voter rolls must exclude noncitizens, and election officials must be held accountable. Every legal vote must count, and every illegal vote must be stopped. Now is the time to act."C4WVEI and EIN are calling on Representatives Carol Miller and Riley Moore to vote YES on the SAVE Act and urge Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Jim Justice to lead the effort in the Senate.Contact Your Representatives:

"It was born in the high places of Nepal, whispered through prayer flags and stone temples, then carried home in my soul."With themes of belonging, spiritual legacy, and redemption, the novel offers a fresh voice in YA fantasy, while paying homage to Nepalese traditions, Buddhist philosophy, and timeless storytelling.The book is published by The Nayampalli House, a mission-driven imprint founded by Nayampalli to preserve cultural storytelling and support educational initiatives in Nepal.

With these dependencies now resolved, PQC-ready products including Cryptsoft's key management SDKs, are now available.Licensing and implementing Cryptsoft's latest SDKs with support for all three NIST PQC algorithms offers a clear path for CISO's and Product Managers to confidently navigate the challenges that will be created by cryptographically relevant quantum computers."It has been a long journey from proposed post-quantum algorithms to deployable implementations in the market.

Released after 20 years in prison, he reconnects with his now-adult daughter in an attempt to rebuild his life, but things get complicated when the reclusive true crime documentary-obsessed widower attempts to uncover the truth.With a cast of seasoned professionals and four members of The Actors Studio including Steve Mize (Bones, Grey's Anatomy), Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Midnight Club), and Anne Marie Howard (John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, Criminal Minds), the award-winning film has just been released to digital streamers and is available for sale and rent.Plea marks the feature length debut of director Brian McQuery, who also wrote the film. He previously worked as an assistant director on a variety of movies and directed several well-received shorts. The proud son of a Chicago Police Officer and the victim of a violent crime that put him in a week-long paralytic coma, McQuery's projects explore the complex dynamics of the criminal justice system.The film will appeal to the many fans and followers of narrative "True Crime" shows and documentaries, as well as police and courtroom procedurals like the Law & Order television programs, and Clint Eastwood's recently released feature film, Juror #2.

La Vida Golden Visas has announced a significant 47% year-on-year increase in enquiries for overseas residency through investment, as a growing number of high-earning UK residents seek to mitigate rising domestic tax burdens.LONDON - March 26, 2025 - PRLog -- The sharp uptick in demand, recorded in Q1 2025, reflects ongoing momentum in the global investment migration industry – a trend that has accelerated since the UK's departure from the European Union. While initial interest in golden visa programmes stemmed largely from the desire for flexible European travel rights, today's enquiries are increasingly driven by long-term relocation strategies and wealth preservation in low-tax jurisdictions."We're seeing a clear shift in motivation," said Paul Williams, CEO of La Vida. "For many UK entrepreneurs and high earners, tax policy has reached a tipping point. The direction of travel is clear – taxes are increasing, and investors are responding by seeking greater control over their financial and personal futures through alternative residence options."UK Tax Burden Exceeds European NormsLa Vida's internal analysis, drawing on data from the OECD, reveals that UK-based business owners now face a marginal combined tax rate of 54.5% – comprising 25% corporation tax and 39.35% dividend tax. This places the UK among the most heavily taxed jurisdictions in Europe, surpassed only by Ireland and Denmark. By comparison, the average combined tax burden across Europe for business owners stands at 41.0%, highlighting a 13.5% gap that continues to widen.Tax on business owners rose significantly when corporation tax climbed from 19% to 25% in April 2023. The increase in National Insurance rates in April 2025 will further tighten the fiscal environment for business and wealth generators."The British government seems unaware of the agility of today's businesses," Williams added. "The companies choosing to leave the UK are often digital, mobile, and scalable. These are exactly the kinds of enterprises the UK should be nurturing – not driving away."Investment Migration: A Global Wealth StrategyLa Vida offers access to 18 major investment visa programmes, partnering with governments across Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Collectively, these programmes generate over $20 billion annually in foreign direct investment and provide individuals and families with secure residency or citizenship status in exchange for passive investments.Among the most popular golden visa options for low taxation are:

Bad news seems to come from every corner of today's world, with economic struggles, health care issues, and housing crises. We need a break from all the drama and stressful situations plaguing our minds and bodies these days. What better way to achieve this than through the exhilarating power of movement and dance? And a perfect example of this can be found in Joey L. Dowdy's the original Backstreet boys' choreographer heartfelt story he shared with Authority Magazine on September 13, 2024.PASADENA, Calif. - March 25, 2025 - PRLog -- In this inspiring interview, Joey reveals how he overcame adversity after hip replacement surgery and triumphantly returned to dance and "Slay on The Dancefloor!"Check out this excerpt for his interview.AM: Now let's shift to the main focus of our interview about how athletes overcome significant adversity to achieve success. Can you share your story of one of your greatest challenges or struggles?JLD: I had hip replacement surgery on June 6th, 2016. Leading up to the surgery, I could barely walk and had developed a severe limp. It all started in 2011, but I kept pushing forward even though I knew I was injured. Unfortunately, the situation progressively worsened—from a slight skip to a hop, then a limp, and eventually to nearly dragging my right leg. The pain was excruciating because I had no cartilage in my right hip and was walking on it bone to bone.Here's the thing: Training as an athlete or professional dancer is deeply rooted in mental conditioning. To achieve my goal, I had to think, see, and feel the results. For me, that goal was getting my full range of motion back. It's been said, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."  Because I never focused on my disability. Instead, I stayed positive and celebrated what I was still capable of doing. I started each day with the end in mind—my goal was to regain my full range of motion. And thank God after my surgery and rehabilitating myself through dance, "I got it back!"Now it's your turn to join professional dance coach LA Joey L. Dowdy in his electrifying new online mini dance course, "Slay on the Dancefloor-Read My Hips!" Learn to find your rhythm, master your moves, and gain the confidence like he did to strut your stuff like never before.  Check it out!

As attacks on public education intensify, Bagolie is emerging as a leading voice in New Jersey, ready to stand up to President Trump's plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and defend the future of New Jersey's students and schools.Watch the full video here:https://youtu.be/kvRkIIwgk3Y?si=OqzyFlZ9Itivhzy6Bagolie, the endorsed candidate of both the Essex and Passaic County Democratic Committees, believes New Jersey is at a crossroads. "With the Trump Administration renewing its attacks on public education — including a plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education — we need leaders who understand our classrooms, not just the politics," said Bagolie. "I've been on the front lines. I know what's at stake, and I'm fighting to protect our students, support our teachers, and strengthen our schools."Dr. Bagolie brings decades of hands-on experience and real-world leadership to Trenton. Now, as a state legislator and member of the Assembly Education Committee, she's using that experience to shape meaningful education policy that directly impacts students, educators, and families across New Jersey.The video goes on to highlight who she is as a person, a legislator and, now, a candidate for reelection as the Assemblywoman for the 27th Legislative District serving Montclair, Livingston, West Orange, Millburn/Short Hills, Roseland, and Clifton."I am asking the public to take a moment to watch my video, and if moved, to share it," said Bagolie. "You can also learn more about my legislative accomplishments on my website, https://rosybagolie.com/," she says.
