My daughter, as smart as she is, sometimes says the craziest things. This is a collection of actual quotes that came directly from her. You can't make this stuff up. I blame it on her hair.

This is a series where I discuss topics of the day. Nothing is out of bounds here. Racism, police shootings, homosexuality, politics, and so on. Never be afraid to discuss things out of your comfort zone. These problems don't fix themselves.

Brought up from religious parents, June meets Robbie Shead who opens the doors to freedom for her. Little did she know that it was not the door to her freedom, but pure torment.
