My work examines how race, gender and social status influence the pursuit of justice. I examine who lacks affinity to justice and I analyze what fills the void caused by unjust relations in  lives. The subjects of my interest are ; the treatment of  persons designated as minorities in nations; ethno-racial minorities such as Blacks, Indigenous Persons and persons whose identities are complicated by intersections of  multiple socially ascribed factors . I invite you to explore some of my views in the pages within.

A Vision for Justice begins with a sound understanding of the politics of our existence. The more I understand the politics of my existence though, the more justice assumes that chameleon quality.  For me, the ‘normative blindness’ of justice is an unsettling romanticism.  Justice, in practice, is selective and seems accessible through pathways of political influence and the privilege of wealth. Race too often determines access to both politics and wealth and gender plays its part if race and wealth are favoured factors.  Race and justice more often collides than cohabits.
