At its core, peer services and skill development are not about replacing traditional therapy, but about bridging the gap between specialized clinical treatment and real-world application. A therapist can help a youth process trauma in a session, but a peer mentor can help that same youth practice resilience, discipline, and emotional regulation in real-time—whether in a gym, on a trail, or scaling a rock wall. When counties and administrators reject these services outright, they are not just protecting outdated models—they are actively limiting the resources available to the people who need them most. 👉🏾Check out my latest Substack.

I've been perplexed with the platform X because it seems like unless you're participating within an echo-chamber with pre-scripted regurgitated ideas and comments, there isn't much innovative narrative.

Just finished final exam #2, wrapping up our second course in commercial law studies in London, England. My colleague Warren and I are now preparing for our final project—mock arbitration. I’m really looking forward to arriving back stateside on the 16th! It’s going to take quite some time to process the scope of this international experience, both personally and professionally. An El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcom X) quote in a letter from Mecca resonates quite well with me in this moment: “You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions.”
