I, like many, have carried the weight of historical trauma, passed on to me from my father’s traumatic experiences rooted in racism, familial abuse, & PTSD from Vietnam War & my mother, an educator who grew up with an abusive alcoholic father. These experiences have created challenges in my life, particularly in forming meaningful relationships and confronting various life obstacles. I believe that addressing this issue on a broader scale can initiate a change that will benefit many in the long term.
In Los Angeles alone, thousands of students carry with them unseen emotional scars, passed down through generations. They’re in great need of compassionate, patient, and understanding educators. That’s why we are petitioning for all school leaders, teachers, and staff within Los Angeles to receive training in Friendly Efficient Communication.
Implementing this training not only holds the possibility for aiding students and their families, but it also creates an environment that can navigate ancestral trauma and contribute to generational wellness. By taking the time to learn to hold space for self and others, we’re fostering a healthier, more understanding community.
Given that one in four students reports feeling terrified of bullying incidents (Source: National Center for Educational Statistics), a shift to friendly efficient communication can provide an additional safeguarding layer for vulnerable students.
Join us in this movement. Let’s alter the narrative together. Sign this petition and help us fight for a future where every student has the chance to thrive.

“Everything I’ve lived, every trial, every lesson—it taught me how to be my own best friend and how to build community.” 🌍
That’s the path that brought me here. I’ve fallen, I’ve learned, and I’ve grown into someone who can guide others in finding their voice and building true connection. Along the way, I developed Friendly Efficient Communication (FEC)—a way of speaking that helps people advocate for themselves while also listening in a way that makes others feel seen, heard, and valued.
That’s why I’m leaving Instagram. I’m done chasing algorithms—I’m creating my own through Captain’s Club. A space where I can share with intention, not distraction.

Make America Friends Again means bringing Friendly Efficient Communication (FEC) into every space where people gather — government, schools, workplaces, churches, gyms, and community centers. Why? Because when Afro and other chocolate folks, Black and Brown people — those most disenfranchised — feel safe, then everyone benefits. FEC ensures that every person is seen, heard, and valued. Friendship isn’t just personal, it’s a framework for justice, belonging, and thriving together. #captainpat2028 #MakeAmericaFriendsAgain
