The Forgotten Murals of Chocolate City aka Washington DC Part 1

Welcome to the lost, replaced and new murals of Washington, DC formally known as: Chocolate City.

The picture murals you are about to see tell the stories of a native culture that has been replaced by gentrification. Ask me how I know …Many of the murals you are about to see can no longer be found as a part of the native Washington, DC’s history.

Native Washingtonians Lives Matter Too!

Do not worry; the MURAL culture of Washington, DC has been replaced with animals, flowers and birds. All you have to do is just take a look around.

Wait until you see part 2

How Being Bullied Affects Your Adulthood

We know that we shouldn’t turn a blind eye: Research shows that bullying is corrosive to children’s mental health and well-being, with consequences ranging from trouble sleeping and skipping school to psychiatric problems, such as depression or psychosis, self-harm, and suicide.

This abuse can span exclusion, rumors, name-calling, or physical harm. Some victims are isolated loners while others are bedeviled by their own friends or social rivals.
