Kesha Johnson-Clark Speaks at SF City Hall

Kesha Johnson-Clark, 34 made public comments/questions at the 4-14-14 Land Use & Economic Development Committee meeting for Late Night Transportation SAFETY concerns...agenda item 3 [140079] Supervisors: Kim, Cohen and Wiener in attendance hearing with the Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Alameda-Contra Consta County Transit District, Transportation Network Companies, the Taxi Industry, the Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and the Entertainment Commission, to discuss the city's late night transportation needs and progress towards developing a Late Night Transportation Plan, with specific areas of focus, including ease of access, speed and safety.

Kesha: "Hi and good afternoon to all in attendance, my name is Kesha Johnson-Clark and i'm speaking today as a resident, a working person and one who utilizes public transportation on a regular basis. My comment/question is in regards to safety, what percentage of crimes are captured on public transportation video such as taxi, BART and MUNI...and is there any research to support the correlation between crimes such as robberies, hate crimes, sexual assaults, rapes during late night transportation that would justify having an emergency transportation division option in the city if there isn't one in place already and if so, who is the contact person??? Thank you."

The New Logo!!!

In addition to our new floral design, we've officially joined forces with Brown Sugar Promotions LLC and Green Afro Honey to expand our social media campaigns. All business operations will be managed by the development team at Brown Sugar Promotions LLC while our empowerment campaigns will generate through Green Afro Honey. Our mission has grown to include a sexual education series created by our friends at Purple Kiss Dreams Adult Gifts & Pleasure Box. This series explores the recovery process of sexual abuse (specifically female childhood molestation including full vaginal intercourse from ages 6 - 15) which focuses on the emotional and physical connection and the[developed]freedom to engage in consentual, adulthood relationships. There are no victims, only survivors. SisterHood, Inc will remain a separate business entity for all intended purposes.
