In the realization of this curse of seeing parts of my life experiences depicted in Dustin Hoffman and Barry Levinson’s movie Rain Man it’s important for me to document everything that has happened in my life especially in the past 34-years of working my way up from minimum wage. It does not bother me that my images and titles might be offensive or insulting to some, but it’s important for me to hold on to some type of hope for a better end to preserve my faith and confidence.

Roosevelt dropped his crutches to put his right foot in the door to drag them out of the gas ovens! And how President John F. Kennedy brought the subject of People with Intellectual Disabilities “out of the shadows” and into the public light in America with the help of his sister. So it is you who opened a door for them in your country.When you have a work ethic and you’re limited in what you can do and your work life has been stolen for entertainment it’s a terrible adjustment to find some meaning in your life. Therefore, the premise of this collection NOT FOR SALE: Stay Well, Stay Safe, Stay Alive! is to preserve my spiritual heritage coming out of the Pentecostal church experience and to give a voice to the voiceless Women with Mental Disabilities and American youth and to remember and document all of the circumstances and struggles that I overcame in 34-years.
