The Street Sense Media Story, #MoreThanANewspaper

Originally founded as a street newspaper in 2003, Street Sense Media has evolved into a multimedia center using a range of creative platforms to spotlight solutions to homelessness and empower people in need. The men and women who work with us do much more than sell this paper: They use film, photography, theatre, illustration, and more to share their stories with our community.

Our media channels elevate voices, our newspaper vendor and digital marketing programs provide economic independence. And our in-house case-management services move people forward along the path toward permanent supportive housing.

At Street Sense Media, we define ourselves through our work, talents, and character, not through our housing situation.

Report shows DC children are missing out on the School Breakfast Program

KAELA ROEDER

Many D.C. children in public and public charter schools are missing out on the School Breakfast Program, according to a recent report by D.C. Hunger Solutions.

Less than half of schools reached the goal of 70% student participation in the breakfast program during the 2021 to 2022 academic year.

School breakfast is essential to helping students thrive, according to a study by the Journal of Nutrition. Participation in the program is linked to better test performance, fewer cases of tardiness and absenteeism and fewer disciplinary problems. The School Breakfast Program is especially beneficial to students from low-income families, according to the report.

“We know that children can’t learn on an empty stomach,” said LaMonika Jones, the interim director of D.C. Hunger Solutions.

“While there have been some improvements, many families are still recovering from the fallout of the pandemic and have been thrust into a hunger cliff amid the ending of pandemic-era waivers and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program emergency allotments. Now more than ever, school breakfast is needed to reduce child hunger across the District.”

Any public school, public charter school, nonprofit private school or residential child care institution is eligible to participate in the breakfast program and receive federal funds for taking part — and, any student can participate. The Healthy Schools Act of 2010 also mandates every student receives school breakfast for free in the District.

To increase participation in the School Breakfast Program, the report recommends a “breakfast after the bell” model. This could include providing breakfast in the classroom at the beginning of the

day, implementing a “grab and go” system where students can pick up breakfast from the cafeteria and eat it in the classroom or allow students time to pick up breakfast after their first period.

Honoring the life of Marcellus Phillips

ALEXIA PARTOUCHE Editorial Intern

Street Sense artist, vendor, and former vendor program associate Marcellus Phillips died in late February. He was 43.

Phillips' generosity, determination and passion left impressions on all who interacted with him. His mother, Karen Swailes, remembers him as a strong-willed person who worked hard.

"He was the type of person, he would say what he knew he wouldn't be able to do and figure out a way to do it," Swailes said. "He was gonna figure out a way to work it that way."

Phillips was born in D.C. on Aug. 6, 1979, but his mother said the family moved around often. Even though moving frequently was frustrating for Phillips, Swailes said his determination made it work. After one move, Swailes said Phillips insisted on attending a school in the county the family had previously lived in, rather than going to a new school.

"I told him to figure out how he couldn't go, and he did, and he went to the school he wanted to,” Swailes said.

Phillips often directed that energy towards improving things at Street Sense Media as a vendor program associate. Thomas Ratliff, Street Sense Media's director of vendor employment, originally met Phillips in 2020 when Ratliff was working as a volunteer and leading the writer's group program. Phillips immediately impressed him when he asked Ratliff if they could meet to discuss a presentation he had made about ideas to improve the workshop.

"He was always thinking about how to build new programs that were empowering to people," Ratliff said. "He was concerned for people experiencing homelessness, people who are unhoused, and thinking about new programs and new ways to energize programs that already exist that support those people."

Ratliff remembers Phillips as incredibly generous. He said that often, when someone would come into the office in need of money, Phillips would give them cash, even if he didn't have much to share.

"That was kind of his ethos — if he has something, then he should share it," Ratliff said.

Phillips' generosity wasn't limited to money. Ratliff said Phillips loved to share the things he was passionate about with others who were interested.

"He was always looking to learn more about the world, to figure out how to be his own business person, how to be a musician and then how to show others those things if they were interested in it," Ratliff said.

Phillips loved music. Swailes remembers Phillips always playing the same song while he was getting ready for school in the morning, while Ratliff recalls that Phillips would often spend his downtime at work talking about his rap music.

"He had a wide range of influences and tastes and things that he listened to, but that's what he was really working on," Ratliff said. "He specifically was a rapper and had lyrical skills."

In personal essays and poems published in Street Sense's newspaper, Phillips wrote about his personal journey and his motivation to help others. Phillips was diagnosed with epilepsy after he had his first seizure the night of his high school graduation. Although this meant that Phillips sometimes struggled, he emphasized his gratitude for his life in his writings.

"Things aren't perfect, but I have no reason to complain," Phillips wrote in "I'm building opportunities for others" in 2019. “Having a seizure disorder limits my job options, so I've had to create my own opportunities. My goal is to help more Street Sense Media vendors do the same."

Ratliff remembers how, whenever he asked Phillips how he was doing, Phillips would reply that he was "blessed to see another day."

"Marcellus was someone who would give the shirt off his back to someone else who needed it, like really, literally," Ratliff said.

Big Issue Taiwan vendor Chung-Hsing Liu:

LIANG RU

It’s the weekend, and Sanmin Road in Yizhong shopping district is bustling with shoppers. Big Issue Taiwan vendor Chung-Hsing Liu has set up his pitch at the outer wall of Taichung University of Science and Technology. The bottom of the wall is lined with foliage, which provides a striking and eye-catching backdrop for his colorful display of street papers.

“This year will be my twelfth year selling the Big Issue Taiwan,” Chung-Hsing Liu tells me.

Before then, 61-year-old Liu spent his time in and around Taichung train station. He would occasionally hitchhike to Yuanlin, or even Tainan and Kaohsiung, to play video games and earn back his losses. When he was young, he worked as a video game store manager and knew that there was an unwritten culture of bribery between managers in the gambling industry and local police through the exchange of red envelopes. After a major raid, Liu lost his job and switched to driving cabs.

One day as he was driving, he was involved in a car accident while trying to avoid running over a dog, resulting in severe damage to his right hand. He was hospitalized in Taichung for 28 days and then transferred to a rehabilitation hospital for 10 months, but his nerve-damaged hand failed to recover, and he was no longer able to drive his cab.

At the end of 2011, Big Issue Taiwan set up an outpost in the city of Taichung; Liu started selling the magazine in October 2012. In the beginning, he sold the magazine at Tunghai University seven days a week. Business was very good, and he would sell 50 or 60 copies of the magazine the first day they came out. The majority of Liu’s customers were university students of various ethnicities, most of them from mainland China. He vividly remembers the boss of a coffee factory in mainland China who bought 30 copies in one go. He said he wanted to send them back to his friends in mainland China to read. He also has fond memories of the student who became a regular customer for three whole years. Even though he had planned to leave Taiwan in June, he stayed a little longer just to buy the July issue of the magazine so that he could bring it home with him.

However, the popularity of the magazine has been declining in recent years, and Liu believes that the effects of the pandemic and internet use have reduced the number of readers. In an attempt to combat the drop in sales, Liu started moving from pitch to pitch. Aside from stationing himself at Taichung University of Science and Technology, on Mondays and Thursdays he would drop by Tunghai University and on Tuesdays and Fridays he would be at Chung Hsing University. He met another memorable customer at Tunghai University, a foreign language student who lived in Kaohsiung and came to see him every month. The customer later went to Nepal to work as a volunteer and yet remained in contact with Liu through Facebook.

“I quite enjoy selling Big Issue Taiwan,” Liu says. He explains that it is a stable job and gives him time to read the wuxia [Chinese martial arts] novels he loves. He says the characters in the story never die and that they are more amazing than even the famous wuxia novels by Jin Yong.

The injury to Liu’s right hand, which is irreversible, meant

that Liu was rejected numerous times when applying for jobs, and his mobility is also limited in many ways. Quite some time ago, Liu went to the career guidance and development center and completed his registration to receive counselling, but there was no follow-up whatsoever. When Liu mentions the issue of requesting subsidies, he is unable to hide his dejection. “At first, my injury was evaluated and labeled as a moderate injury and so I could receive subsidies of around NTD$4,000,” he explains. “On my second check-up, my assigned doctor had changed, as the original one had been transferred to work as a government official. By then, my injury had been relabeled as a minor injury.” To this day, he still feels unhappy about this, but no amount of protesting has helped his case.

“I am an optimistic person and am quite open-minded about a lot of things,” he smiles. Liu is busy every day, and he helps his neighbor – who was injured in a car accident – to buy lunch boxes and take out the trash. When another neighbor got into a motorcycle accident, Liu not only went to the hospitalto

borrow a wheelchair for him but even pushed him home, bought him water, prepared rice and washed his clothes for him. The residents who lived downstairs jokingly said that Liu was like an underling doing other people’s bidding. Liu himself felt like he was a volunteer, as he did this all without payment. Although the neighbors remain nosy about what he gets up to, Liu keeps on helping others out. “If it is within my power, I will help as much as I can,” he says.

Liu is just like the tenacious characters in the wuxia novels he loves. When faced with trials and tribulations, they always maintain a positive attitude and face life with a sense of optimism.

Senate committee probes top universities, museums over failures to repatriate human remains

MARY HUDETZ AND GRAHAM LEE BREWER ProPublica and NBC News

This story was originally published by Propublica and NBC News.

More than a dozen senators are pressing for the museums and universities that hold the most Native American remains to explain why they’ve failed for decades to return thousands of them to tribes as required by federal law.

Members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and other senators singled out for scrutiny the five institutions identified in a recent ProPublica and NBC News investigation as having the largest collections of Indigenous remains — including powerful and prestigious universities with long legacies of delaying repatriation requests.

“It’s inexcusable, it’s immoral, it’s hypocritical, and it has to stop,” said committee chair Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii.

In letters sent Thursday to the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, the Ohio History Connection, the Illinois State Museum and Indiana University, the senators called the slow pace of repatriations of Native American remains and belongings under the 1990 federal law “unacceptable.”

“For too long, Native ancestral remains and cultural items have been unconscionably denied their journey home by institutions, desecrated by scientific study, publicly displayed as specimens, left to collect dust on a shelf, or simply thrown in a box and forgotten in a museum storeroom,” the senators wrote.

More than 30 years ago, Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA, requiring federally funded museums, universities and government agencies to identify human remains they believe to be Native American and then work with tribal

nations to repatriate them.

Lawmakers expected the process would be completed or nearly completed within five years, the senators said in the letter, yet “a daunting amount of work remains.”

Hundreds of institutions nationwide still hold a total of more than 100,000 ancestral remains, according to the news organizations’ analysis of federal data. None has more than UC Berkeley, with 9,000, followed by the Illinois State Museum and the Ohio History Connection.

The senators wrote that Congress “continues to receive troubling testimony” about institutions’ poor compliance with the law, including insufficient consultation with tribes, poor tracking and misidentification of items, disrespect for traditional knowledge and allegations of avoiding or slowing repatriation efforts.

In response to the news organizations’ request for comment on the senators’ letter, UC Berkeley said in a statement that it will cooperate in a “fully transparent manner” with the Senate’s requests. It apologized for the harm caused by its inaction and said repatriation is now a top priority.

“We accept responsibility and accountability for the university’s past failings and errors in so far as repatriation and tribal relations are concerned,” it added.

A spokesperson for the Ohio History Connection said it welcomed the senators’ attention to NAGPRA, adding in a statement: “This work requires many resources and time commitments — for both institutions like ours and the federally recognized Tribes — to undertake repatriation on such a large scale.”

Fred Cate, Indiana University’s vice president for research, said the school had assigned six staff members in recent years to work on NAGPRA compliance. “The whole point is to get to a consensus point with the tribes we’re working with,” which takes time, he said.

Harvard and the Illinois State Museum did not comment Thursday; Harvard has previously issued an apology for past collection practices, and the Illinois museum said it developed plans to speed compliance with NAGPRA.

In the letters, the senators asked the universities and museums to respond to a list of written questions within two months, including how they decide whether to grant or deny tribes' requests and how long they take to make decisions.

The senators cited an expert’s recent estimate that it could take 70 more years for institutions to complete the repatriation process. “This is simply unacceptable,” they wrote of the estimate by Chip Colwell, who as curator of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science oversaw its repatriation efforts.

Meanwhile, the Interior Department recently estimated the process could take 26 more years, based on institutions' progress in the past decade. Schatz said he wants it done much sooner. “It can’t take another decade or two for this to get fixed,” he said.

The Interior Department this year is reviewing proposed regulations that would push museums and universities to finish the work within three years, which some institutions have argued is not feasible.

Edward Halealoha Ayau, the chair of the NAGPRA Review Committee, said museums have too often skirted the mandate to consult with Indigenous people. Many institutions rely only on their own records and do not review evidence rooted in tribal traditions and knowledge when they decide on claims, he added.

“You can’t just sit in the corner twiddling your thumbs, saying, ‘Oh, we don’t know whose ancestors these are,’” he said.

Ayau said the senators’ letter sends a message to the hundreds of other institutions that also must comply with NAGPRA.

The senators also asked the institutions what actions the government has taken against them under the law and the steps they took in response. Penalties are rare, federal data shows. Only 20 institutions have been fined under the law — for an average of $2,955 per institution. Of the five institutions that received a letter from the Senate, only Harvard and UC Berkeley have been cited, and they were not required to pay fines.

Schatz said he hoped the letter would encourage the institutions to speed up their compliance with the law.

“If there are deans and presidents and boards of trustees who are sitting around, trying to figure out how to live their values, this is a very practical, immediate way to start,” he said.

Schatz added that he expects the institutions will respond to the senators’ questions but that if they do not, the committee has the power to subpoena them.

Lawsuit alleges life-threatening, ‘deliberate’ medical neglect at DC Jail

JENNY GATHRIGHT DCist

When M.K. arrived at the D.C. Jail around the start of 2022, his HIV was undetectable — meaning the virus was suppressed to the point where it couldn’t be transmitted to others. This was thanks to a decade of using the HIV medication Biktarvy, according to his attorneys.

But M.K. has missed more doses in the past 16 months or so than in his previous 10 years put together because staff at the jail have failed to consistently provide him his medication, his lawyers say. Once, during a search of his cell, they say staff “threw his Biktarvy on the floor and stepped on it, rendering it unusable.”

Missing this medication has consequences: In addition to raising one’s viral load, repeatedly missing doses of HIV medication can decrease its efficacy long term, allowing the virus to develop resistance to the drug. By September, M.K. once again had a measurable viral load of HIV, according to his attorneys.

M.K. (referred to in the lawsuit by a pseudonym for his privacy and safety) is one of several people whose experiences

are detailed in a new class action lawsuit against the D.C. Department of Corrections (DOC) filed Monday by the Washington Lawyers’ Committee, a legal nonprofit focused on civil rights litigation. The lawsuit alleges that DOC is “deliberately indifferent” to its constitutional obligation to provide people with adequate medical care, arguing that medical care at the jail is “systematically dysfunctional.”

The result, the suit alleges, is that people with serious medical conditions routinely miss doses of life-saving medication and are forced to wait months or years for urgent medical care. In multiple cases, the suit says, medical staff at the jail failed to schedule necessary follow-up appointments until they were months past due, or canceled appointments last minute without explanation. One plaintiff with congestive heart failure claims that jail staff routinely deprive him of his medications. Another plaintiff who needs catheters in order to urinate claims that jail staff insist that he reuse old ones, using only his cell’s sink to clean them.

“The level of indifference — and the widespread amount of indifference… is mind boggling,” said Jacqueline KutnikBauder, deputy legal director at the Washington Lawyers’

Committee.

The suit aims for a court order to fix the jail’s system of delivering health care, as well as ongoing monitoring and enforcement to ensure the jail follows through. It also asks D.C. to pay damages and attorney’s fees to some of the plaintiffs.

DOC declined to comment on the allegations in the suit, citing its policy of not responding to inquiries about active litigation.

Residents of the jail — particularly those with complex health conditions — are entirely at the mercy of DOC and its medical contractor, Unity Health Care, to manage their health care needs. While they’re detained, they can’t obtain or manage their medications, schedule doctor’s appointments, seek specialists, access medical supplies, or even see a doctor without permission and an escort.

The suit describes, in rare detail, instances of extreme medical neglect spanning a variety of health conditions — from a resident who tore his ACL while in the jail but had his post-surgery physical therapy routinely canceled or delayed, to a man who went months with abscessed and rotting teeth.

For one plaintiff, they argue, medical delays have been life-

threatening.

The plaintiff, referred to in the filing as “V.C.,” has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, according to his lawyers. They say he must take nine medications every day or risk debilitating chest pains, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of death. The suit alleges that jail staff failed to provide V.C. his medications “on at least 19 occasions, sometimes for a few hours and sometimes for multiple days at a time.” According to the suit, the problems persisted despite V.C. filing sick call slips and grievances with staff, and despite his attorneys reaching out to DOC.

“Because of Defendant’s deliberate indifference,” the suit says, “V.C. suffered unnecessary and debilitating chest pains, shortness of breath, risk of heart failure, and severe anxiety over whether his heart could fail completely.”

Another plaintiff in the suit, B.L., needs to use catheters in order to urinate because of long-term damage from a gunshot wound. According to the suit, jail staff not only won’t regularly provide him new catheters but often give him catheters that are too large and routinely fail to provide him with enough sanitizing wipes and lubricant to insert them safely and comfortably. As a result, his lawyers say, B.L. is at risk for infection, bleeding, and scarring. He limits his fluid intake so he has to urinate less often, the suit says.

These are not his only problems with medical care: B.L. also requires specialty care for two concerning health issues — blood in his stool, and an abnormal mass in one of his testicles that emergency room staff identified in January of 2022. The suit says it took jail staff a year to bring him to a urology specialist and that B.L. still does not have answers about the

cause of the bleeding and whether his mass is cancerous.

The suit also details delays in vision care for plaintiffs. One man, referred to in the complaint as L.S., is blind in one eye and requires lubricating eye drops and glasses to see out of the other.

The suit argues that because of failures at the jail, L.S. hasn’t been provided enough drops or had functioning glasses with the correct prescription since his broke more than two years ago. Sometimes, the suit says, he goes months without being able to see, regularly bumping into people and objects. Given the dangers this presents, he often stays confined to his cell.

DOC officials and patients’ medical records offer a variety of reasons for missed medication, missed appointments, and other medical delays, according to the suit. In one case, DOC officials said errors in their electronic pharmacy system led to a resident missing medication. Another time, they said they failed to transfer that patient’s medication over when he switched housing units. Other times, the suit says, the jail fails to deliver people their medication if they miss “pill call” (when staff pass out medication in the housing units) because of legal visits or court appearances.

Other times, the problems appear to be linked to staffing — in M.K.’s case, the suit says he had 13 appointments canceled because there wasn’t sufficient staff to provide an escort.

The suit argues that these problems with medical care aren’t limited to the plaintiffs they name in their complaint and are instead systemic at the jail — which is why they’re asking for a judge to certify their suit as a class action case. They argue that numerous others at the jail — most of whom are being detained pre-trial and haven’t been convicted of a crime — are

deprived of medical care.

The suit also argues that the current widespread problems with medical care at the jail are part of a decades-long history of failures.

As part of a pair of lawsuits against the jail that led to more than 30 years of court oversight, District Court judge William B. Bryant seized control of medical and mental health care at the facility in 1995. He said the jail’s failure to abide by his orders to screen and treat people detained at the jail for tuberculosis “could very well result in an epidemic in the entire city.”

Complaints about medical care have persisted since then. More recently, residents of the D.C. Jail filed a class action lawsuit against the facility over its handling of the COVID19 pandemic, ending in a settlement where DOC agreed to submit to a series of inspections. In 2021, complaints from Jan. 6 defendants about medical care in the jail brought more attention to the treatment of residents in the facility. Those complaints led to an inspection and memo by the U.S. Marshals Service that alleged a litany of failures at the jail — including unsanitary conditions and punitive denial of food and water to residents. DOC officials largely denied the Marshals Service’s allegations, but local advocates said they weren’t surprised by the contents of the memo. They pointed out that people detained at the jail — most of whom are Black and from D.C. — have complained about poor treatment at the facility for years.

In the land of dreams and magic, where the sun sets in a blaze of color, and the stars twinkle in the night, there lived a young girl, fair and mild.

She wandered through fields of flowers, dancing to the tune of the wind, singing songs of love and laughter and chasing after butterflies.

One day, she met a prince so brave, with eyes as blue as the summer sky, and a heart so pure and true, that she knew he was the one for her.

Together they rode on white horses through mountains high and valleys low and faced the challenges that lay ahead, with courage and strength that only one love could bestow.

Their love was like a flame that burned bright, A beacon of hope in a world of night, and through the years passed by like a fleeting breeze. Their loved remained steadfast and true.

They built a home on a hilltop green, and raised a family with love and care, teaching their children the ways of the world, and the importance of love and kindness there.

I believe that we are living in precious times and men will become more so lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God. We should turn away from such things. I try to thank God for his divine intervention and leadership. God does not make mistakes. Instead, he brings things to the pass into fruition.

No matter what it looks like or how so-called “bad” things get or become, you’re a child of the king. He will bring you out unsinged and not burned. What the devil meant for bad, God meant it for good! I truly believe that God allows situations, circumstances and things, good or bad or indifferent, to shape and mold us into something beautiful!

I’ve heard it said that life is meant to be lived and that if you keep on living you are bound to end up experiencing more or less your share of difficult days. Just as well as good. We cannot have one without the other. Life is like a box of chocolates. All of it will not always be satisfying to your taste. Life shows up for all God’s creatures, great and small. No doubt. I will attest, our creator God sure possesses a good sense of humor and it ain’t always funny!

Be good to us but instead, it is good for us. “As I look back on my life and I think things over I can truly say that I’ve been blessed. I got a testimony!”A familiar songwriter/ vocalist once wrote and penned these words.

Back when I was a child, before life removed all my innocence, I still can remember waiting, anticipating the recess bell at school to sound, and acknowledging that it was time to go outside to the playground. Besides lunch, that was my next best class. Basketball, volleyball, kickball and sliding board, just to name a few, were some of the things we would do during recess. I can also still remember a few of us kids huddling up and we would begin to say “eenie meenie minie moe, catcha a tiger by the toe, if he hollers let him go, eeenie meenie minie moe” and so on. It was oh so simple then…memories! Life was so simple.

I can remember when I was a young boy around the ripe

age of 10, my parents allowed me to join the Number 9 Police Boys Club. At the boys club, we were able to play ping pong, shoot pool, and play board games such as chess, checkers, dominoes, monopoly, clue and a host of others! The boys club, back then, was the best thing in our lives, for it saved us from the threatening and treacherous life of the streets. Boxing and basketball were the two most popular activities that kept us mostly out of trouble.

As I aforementioned, boxing and basketball kept me out of trouble, most of the time. Every now and again I would slip back into embracing doing foolish things. And getting into trouble and causing disruption all around the neighborhood. Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. I had some good days and some hills to climb. And I had some weary days as well as hungry ones and some sleepless nights. In comparison, the good outweighed the bad (and I could) but I won’t complain.

Be it though as it may, regardless of my mischief, I was even more an A to B student and I was skillful at whatever I was engaged in pursuing. 100 fold! I always excelled in whatever I endeavored to do. In spite of all those Godgiven gifts and talents, there still remained a void, an empty place and space which kept me frantically at times trying to accommodate and fill what I found out later in life could not be filled with things and other worldly possessions. This emptiness could only be filled by a power greater than self and this sufficiency would only come from God, our Father! By the time I embraced the ripe age of 12, the concept of junior high school my dumb-intelligent-genius within me took me to a whole new world. A whole new level of ungodliness. In the same beauty though, I knew God called me to do exploits for the advancement of the kingdom. It is there I recognized and acknowledged the war that was being waged within me.

From this very point, my life began to spiral out of control even with the foreknowledge of that declaration of being called by God to live a life pleasing to him. There were times

when the good I desired to do, I did not do. But instead, the bad I desired not to do, I did, on purpose. This battlefield of the mind got so draining to the level of despairing of life because even when I wanted to, I still couldn’t do right. The dumb-intelligent-genius in me began to navigate my life and took me to negative heights unimaginable. I knew how to be better, which is truly desired.

This tug of war persisted and it ended up in this negative rigamarole with these two defining characters who were piloting my life and where I would end up. It was not a pretty picture. I ended up in juvenile detention as a result of listening to and adhering to that powerful and negative deafening voice in my head. This period of detention was tedious and overwhelming and my very being rejected and disputed things put in place to aid and assist me in becoming a productive citizen of society. Here I grow again! The dumbintelligent-genius within me piloting my life again without a license or a parachute!

Doing the same old ignorant things, expecting different results. I wanted to blame everybody else for choices foregone. Someone once told me “Reginald, you got issues” and I say that to this. “You are your own worst enemy and it shows up in the choices you make until you get honest within yourself and expose that demon you are allowing to manipulate and sway you in the wrong direction. Things will only get exceedingly worse.”

Oh, what a tangled web one weaves for the entrapment of oneself. It’s like a jungle sometimes. It makes me wonder how I keep from going under. Yet, I still continue to fight the good fight of faith, knowing that the creator is he that is in me, that the is in the world. God always has the last say so.

Stay tuned! Let me continue to connect the dots and disclose to my avid readers the road from whence I’ve come and where I am today. Come along with me and connect the dots.

When you've been blessed

It's like heaven

Diamonds in the rough

Waiting to be brushed

Where is your praise

Lights up every heart

No wonder I feel this way

Blessed beyond your wildest dreams

I can't fathom not being blessed

So if anyone asks

How's life's treating you

Tell them

I can breath

I can feel

I can smell

And I can touch

I am happy

I am excited

And I am blessed

First impressions are everything. From a bartender’s perspective, I’ve seen lots of good dates and a hell of a lot of bad ones, oftentimes at first sight. Internet dates end badly because neither person is prepared. Much is probably passed writing each other online, but making speech work is entirely different. I’ve always gotten a kick out of watching people meet for the first time after connecting through internet sites.

Grace, I thank almighty God for this place; everywhere I look I see your face in this place; in Street Sense I look to get a piece for my spiritual writing to keep me fighting for my thinking so I put it in inking.

First fruit

Artist/Vendor

Never put your best last, because your

Hard work and efforts won't be worth the task.

First fruit.

God gave his best, when he sent

King Jesus to be a propitiation for our sins

First fruit

He said it is not good for man to be alone

So God gave Adam Eve

First fruit

Let there be heaven and Earth

Let there be light

Let there be firmament

Let there be waters

Creatures that have life

On land and in sea

Fowls that fly

First fruit

For your last will never get you through

Only your best will do.

First fruit

Down on my knees

Morning, noon and night

Asking God to help me get it right

First fruit

Thank you, to the woman who does everything

GIGI DOVONOU Artist/Vendor

Beautiful, elegant, righteous, devoted

These are the words that come to mind

When I think of Shea Saunders

Thank you, Shea

You gave us all hope

You helped us feel alive

Thank you for consoling us and saying “Everything will be alright”

You comforted us when we felt unsafe

And while we went through difficult times

We are truly touched

We feel lucky to have crossed paths with you

In the midst of our experience with the homeless crisis

You created a place that was more than a shelter, a home

There, we did not feel homeless or houseless

We felt the warmth of belonging

You were there for us when no one else was

Thank you for taking on God’s mission at the Church of the Epiphany

You truly surprised us with the outsized social impact on the world

We all felt you were the salt of the sauce

We are in awe of you

And have much respect for your mission

To make the world a better place

Thank you

With love and respect,

Gigi Dovonou

I can write more and edit

I want to make sure I bring an awareness

Because life is real, housed or unhoused

Life is a reality

I like the workshops

They do amazing work with the theatre group

Being a part of it has helped me build my confidence

I am so thankful for all the opportunities

I am getting better with performing

Enjoying my life to the fullest

Here’s a little part of my story I’d like to share

I survived multiple situations

I experienced multiple traumas

But I am stronger and better

Spring is beautiful

As I hung out on U Street I began to explore the surrounding area to get away from the nightlife. This is how I met one of the overnight security guards that I affectionately called “Chilli Beans” or “Cool Beans.” It was a holla when you see me sort of friendship. So as I went by there less the bond went with it. I'd stop by for a quick chat and to maybe knock some of the chill off on the brisk nights. That was one end of U street.

When I found myself hanging out at the Starbucks one chill evening, resting for a bit with no particular place to go at that time, I got engaged in a conversation with a fellow DMV-er who seemed to have found his way there too. As we began chatting about the area, we sat and totted up a few. He told me his friends had somehow left him behind. I guess it was the way they did things way out in Roanoke, Va.

He was grown and bound to find his way back home eventually but in the meantime he kept me company as I was just sitting out and about. And as it got later in the evening, it began to snow and I was like “uh oh,” as the new found friend in a stranger began to worry about his next move. He suddenly offered me to come with him up out of the weathery elements. Being all alone, I accepted cautiously and we ended up at the Kimpton Hotel just to beat the odds and the elements.

I mean no funny business. No cut cards. Just straight up genuine concern and real time assistance! More than what I could afford to splurge at one time let alone on an abbreviated night! The room was $200 that he shared with me out of the kindness of his heart. It was brought about by our heart to heart and as I recall if I heard right, he told me he was Secret Service or some sort!

I didn't pay it much mind as you may recall from my previous articles, that I've always imagined a peculiar life of living in the seams. So it seemed to fit that mold accordingly and so I was sold! So to speak … I felt just a wee bit better about the world and all then and gained the Kimpton experience. I guess that's Dupont Circle borderline Adams Morgan area just right there, huh?
