A video my new and beautiful friend, Eslam sent to me of her precious son Kinan 🌹🥹 He’s saying hello to me!

She has more children and she’s pregnant. Eslam and her family are from Gaza/Palestine and I promised her I’d help spread the word regarding getting her help.

Currently Kinan suffers with an eye condition that may require surgery. He’s been wearing his glasses for a while but they broke recently. Kinan really needs help. The family needs financial aide ($200+) for her son’s glasses and even more just to keep surviving. Despite being low income on my end, I was able to send Eslam something 🌹❤️

Eslam and her family stay in a tent. She’d also sent me a video of her husband tearfully walking around parts of Gaza as it indeed is in ruins. 💔😢

Please show mercy to this beautiful family. No person deserves to live the way her and others are living there.

What we can do is come together to support these beautiful people. Even if you can’t give anything now please send Eslam a kind message or two and help spread the word regarding her help. ❤️🌹

To support Eslam, visit @asystemoflove ‘s page and click the link in bio to learn more, support, and raise money for Eslam’s family!

You can visit her Instagram page @eslam.gaza96 and hit the links in her bio to send over funds/donations directly! ❤️‍🩹

Artists deserve to feel safe everywhere.. ❤️‍🩹🔥
………..

“When the Voyager Platform was first created under its old name, its chief mission of mine was to provide safety measures alongside filmmaking.

After doing so much research and encountering stories of various abuse and mistreatment in the entertainment industry or Hollywood settings, I’d decided that it was time to establish some kind of system that would protect talent and future collaborators of all kinds from the real dangers that may arise in the industry.

It started off with creating contracts that went over strict and protective safety measures prior to production and now it’s led to this, the creation of the Driscoll Rescue Center (DRC), which is now at its new home at my mental health outreach @asystemoflove . It’s named after actor Bobby Driscoll as a means to give tribute to the hardships, addictions, (and possible violations) he faced in his career before his death. It’s also set to honor other deceased or living artists who have been through all kinds of industry atrocities and tragedies.

To any talent or anyone working in entertainment, my promise is to fight for your protection and security in entertainment landscapes. The Voyager Company joins hands with ASOL’s DRC page in order to make this a consistent mission of mine.

Please stay tuned for resources and even stories of those who were able to overcome industry traumas and also those who didn’t make it but deserve their stories to be told as well.

The VC platform also takes this time to stand with @epsteinsurvivorsisters & all other Epstein victims. The platform recognizes these incredible women and their bravery including the late Virginia Giuffre ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🌹”

@asystemoflove is now updated for September with an official and permanent look for the future ahead. It’s been a while but I hope this month’s content provided can bring hope and comfort in dark times!

Be sure to check out this monthly’s listen featuring a September recommend celebrating the first album from @celticwomanofficial & A Message of Hope for abuse victims in the entertainment industry, high and low.

The Emmy’s made headlines recently, but it’s still important to recognize that there are victims in entertainment spaces dealing with current or aftermath effects of abuse. They continue to suffer in silence. @epsteinsurvivorsisters have come forward with their stories and the ASOL platform hopes that more can follow in these brave women’s footsteps in sharing their stories.

It’s one chief reason why the DRC (Driscoll Rescue Center) at ASOL was created. It’s an outreach and recovery center for those in entertainment settings providing ways to safeguard talent of all kinds against abuse, addictions, trauma, on-set mistreatment, harassment and etc. Please show any abuse survivors support.

The platform also takes this time to stand with those suffering in silence. It may be hard to speak up or difficult to leave talent abusive settings, but you are strong, brave, and beautiful. Never let any abuse define you. You can find saftey and your stories are valid. ASOL sees you, hears you, supports you and believes in you. 🔥❤️‍🩹🫂

You’re not a failure. Even if the patterns seem like they won’t stop, even if the circumstances feel overwhelming, and even if there are voices telling you so, you are not a failure. Everyday is a chance to make this right. As long as you’re alive, your story is not finished.

Above all, never define your worth based on accomplishments. You’re here, alive and breathing. That’s what matters is the fact that you’re here. You got this. ❤️👏🏿

Last post for tonight! I was able to update @asystemoflove ! I re-started the Driscoll Rescue Center (DRC) there, a page dedicated to helping members of the entertainment community who are deeply broken inside or dealing with sexual abuse + addictions!

There’s also an all new monthly album listen. Feel free to check out when you have time. ASOL and I have come a long way and I’m not stopping! I promise to continue my mission in helping others as God leads me. 💕

God bless and sleep well! ❤️🌒💤

FNP Post: 💕💔 This is Mandie. Amanda “Mandie” Coco. She was a darling beautiful girl. I remember reading a bit about her story. That first picture always takes my breath away in the sense of how adorable she was! Children and babies are my heart, so when I see them, I may wave to them or if I’m lucky I get to hold them or play with them.

A week ago, I spent time surrounded with few little ones at the park. These kids (or I like to call kids babies) were just innocently playing, while I sat on a swing taking in the nature and the little lives around me. It was a beautiful moment of just watching pure innocence be-Hearing their sweet little voices, too. 🌹 I used to be them now I’m grown but I still learn from the kids. ❤️🌹

So when finding Mandie’s photo and understanding she was both abused and murdered it was hard for me. Child murder cases are very difficult to read and comprehend. The most severe cases won’t just break you- they’ll shatter you. But these little ones that aren’t with us end up staying with me. I end up adopting them in my heart and this keeps me strong in my purpose for FNP. While I’m broken by their cases, I adopt them and end fighting for them.

Mandie was sexually abused and eventually murdered by her father. She died with no love at all. Considering this, I look at her wishing she was my daughter. I wish I could’ve found her in time to take her away from her father and to raise her as my own. I think of that looking at the first photo. I also felt this way recently for some young sweethearts in their teens or 20s who made videos about their parents being evil or abusing them. I’m in my 30s but I often feel that way for abandoned or family/parental abused children.💔

But I become this at FNP. Both advocate and maybe perhaps a mother figure to the ones who had evil family that both abandoned and murdered them. At my vampire series I’ll do activism for this as children are a big part of it. In the meantime, pray or show silence to the ones suffering beyond anything we know.

We remember their voices. 🌹

Take a look at each face in this post. Each person was murdered in some of the most horrific ways with most of these cases becoming famous and even historical. But the brutal tragedy beyond this is that their families, at least the ones that loved them, would go on to live with the devastating events surrounding their murders.

This is one of my hardest posts ever. I post this in tears.. But it’s an important one. Years ago upon coming across Sylvia Liken’s story for a failed film project, post that, I promised to become an advocate. Then I found more murder victims, some very similar or different to Sylvia’s that I ended up growing close to. These faces and more will forever be in my heart. I will never stop fighting for voices like theirs to be heard especially for the ones that are still alive living through similar tortures-children or adults.

@asystemoflove begins its journey with the Friday Night Prayers series, a series that looks to present murder victims in a beautiful way honoring them and their families. FNP looks to convert painful memories associated with these cases into media that can provide both comfort & triumph creating positive and motivational closures for the murdered/deceased-especially for the brutally murdered. 🌹

Victims above 😪: Sylvia Likens , Junko Furuta, Gabriel Fernandez, Rhuan Maycon, Jun Lin, Louisa Vestereger Jespersen (R) & Maren Ueland (L)

This song ironically was chosen for this post. The title for both song and musician quite fit this post. They are indeed sleeping at last..

But we will always remember their voices. 🌹

Right now I would say I’m in deep recovery from having others do things to me especially when I over gave or extended myself. Today, while trying to fight anxiety from being hurt deeply after being vulnerable with some people, this video popped up.

I think this may be God validating why these days I feel so scared to trust people now, though I still believe in the best of us. To be transparent I’ve gone through some deep betrayal recently and it’s impacting how I interact with others even close friends. I’m a lot more guarded now and truly prefer to be by myself. I’m especially TERRIFIED to date right now. I’m a hyper sensitive person and definitely have been demonized in the past for it. Right now, I’m just too damaged from everything and the ones that betrayed me.

I watched this same thing @kyrie.mthws is talking about happen to my mother. My father is trying to be better now but when they were married, my mother was very true, caring, loving to my father. One day she went through something extremely humiliating and devastating caused by my father and a relative of his that changed her from someone who was warm to cold. She became cold to us at times. But today as an adult, I understand her and she’s so much better now ❤️‍🩹🌹

A lot of people are earnest in wanting to date or be in a relationship but the truth is, they may be carrying very hurtful traits that will change someone from being kind to being cold forever. 💔

Berating someone, constant anger/violence, crossing boundaries, breaking promises, and laughing at someone for being sensitive or quiet is how you will get cold, distant behavior shown right back to you. This is what I DO when I don’t feel safe with someone. I shut down immediately and NEED to get away. I have to because my mental health can regress bad due to past trauma. 💔🫩

So we should STOP blaming people who shut down by being silent or cold when this happens! Instead we should validate their feelings and help them feel safe again. We shouldn’t make them feel small because of our dominant behaviors but make room for listening to them. Think of a turtle. They hide in their shells when they get scared. by @asystemoflove

“November has been a crazy month for me!

There’s been lots of hardship and at this platform, I don’t shy away from sharing my experiences if it helps people to feel less alone!

I am sad to say I didn’t get a chance to share early that there is a November Album of the month! While there’s few days left for this month, you can check out Indigenous/Native American musician R. Carlos’s Nakai’s “Earth Spirit” album.

This is to honor November being Native American Heritage Month! 🪶🌹

Feel free to go to the website to listen to the full album!
(YouTube link available)

If you’ve missed out on albums of the month for this year, come December, there will be links provided to all of them plus a Christmas Album promo!

I’m so sorry for all delays from this year! It’s been a fight but thank you for any and all support! 💕”
