ENTERTAINMENT
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Check out my latest Interview with Anthony AKA Flow,
Anthony Herron,is one of the main organisers in support with Jennifer McLeggan. A Black woman, and registered nurse who has suffered nearly three years of racial harassment at the hands of her neighbors The harassment of deadsquirrels, and human faeces being thrown on her property had sparked a viral movement with the hash tag #standwithJennifer.
“It was by far the largest Black Lives Matter demonstration to take place in Valley Stream after a photo of a sign McLeggan had placed on her doorway was shared widely on various social media platforms. On it, she outlined roughly three years — since she moved into her home — of alleged struggles with the trio of white neighbors in what she claims was racially motivated abuse”
Many at the protest remarked that McLeggan, a single Black mother who works night shifts as a nurse, represented the experience of living while Black in America. Others, mostly residents, voiced dismay that the behavior Mcleggan alleges she endured could continue unchecked in a minority-majority neighborhood such as Valley Stream.
One neighbour even said “It’s shocking that someone could purchase a home, and just want to live in their home, but can’t live in their home without fear of retaliation from neighbors because of the color of their skin.”
Jennifer’s attempt to receive help came with the idea of placing a large yellow sign in her door.
"In case something happens to me here, then somebody would know I'm in the house with a baby," she explained. "If I die in here, at least cops would see the sign."
