The Phoenix Coach

They say it’s racism. But sometimes, what they’re really reacting to… is your centeredness , your clarity , your command of self . And that makes them uncomfortable. The Frisco Stabbing, Karmelo Anthony, and the Fear of a Flipped Narrative They didn’t cry for Tamir Rice. They didn’t march for Trayvon Martin. But now, America is outraged—because a Black teen wasn’t immediately called a monster. Let’s talk about Karmelo Anthony—not the NBA star, but the Frisco teen caught in a storm of headlines after allegedly stabbing twin brothers, and Austin Metcalf, one of whom tragically died. The media is in a frenzy. Not because of the tragedy. Not because of the lives lost or shattered. But because this time… the suspect is Black, and the world didn’t immediately crucify him. The Real Question Is: “Why isn’t the media demonizing him like they usually do? They want mugshots. They want criminal records. They want a “thug” narrative—and they’re mad they’re not getting one. But here’s the kicker…...

Harvard Had Our Funds, Not Our Future By Pamela Jackson | The Phoenix Coach Dear America, Let’s stop pretending we didn’t know. While communities of color fought for crumbs, the Ivy League was eating feasts funded by our labor, our taxes, and our silence . Harvard. Yale. Princeton. All of them took in billions— billions in federal funds meant for access, development, and social advancement. But the truth is: the money never really made it to the people. And now, with the federal government pulling contracts and redirecting funding toward trade schools and real-world education? Some folks are in an uproar. I’m not. Because I called this out years ago . Because I saw the setup. The stagnation. The spiritual leash disguised as education. Because what we called a contract, was really a chain . Let’s Talk About The Real Education Trap These schools weren’t just gatekeepers. They were hoarders. Hoarders of: Government grants that bypassed low-income communities DEI funding that served optic...

Is It Evasion or Is It Exhaustion? The Hidden Ways the System Pushes Taxpayers into Silence By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently Every year, millions of Americans brace themselves for tax season—armed with W-2s, 1099s, receipts, and the lingering fear of making one wrong move. But what if I told you that some of the people labeled as “tax evaders” aren’t trying to cheat the system… They’re just tired of trying to survive it . Let’s talk about what no one wants to admit: Sometimes it’s not evasion. It’s exhaustion. When the System Is Set Up to Confuse You The federal tax system is built like a maze—with shifting rules, cryptic forms, and little-to-no guidance unless you can afford a tax professional. For everyday people juggling kids, rent, medical bills, or unstable employment, the mental bandwidth needed to correctly file taxes can feel impossible. What happens when the “Free File” system isn’t really free ? When the IRS sends letters you can’t interpret , or when your tax re...

  Open Letter:  “Every Woman – What the Internet Missed About Peach, Kiara & the Real Trap” By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently Dear Sisters, While the internet feasts on chaos, I see the code inside the conflict . This back-and-forth between Peach McIntyre and Kiara McMillan? It’s more than clout, courses, or credit. It’s conditioning . The Public Saw Ego. I Saw Evidence. Two women. From the same struggle. Section 8. Food stamps. Children by one man. Built platforms. Raised families. Poured into others. And yet, here we are—watching them be pitted against each other for likes, shares, and digital side-eyes. The system didn’t just teach them to build. It taught us all to fight for the spotlight because we’ve been programmed to believe there’s only room for one. Let’s Be Clear: This Isn’t About Just Them Both Peach and Kiara have faced: Demonetization (for breastfeeding, of all things) Targeted censorship Algorithmic suppression Wrongful evictions Unseen spirit...

  By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently There was a time when “Buy Now, Pay Later” sounded like a blessing. A slick little app. Four easy payments. No interest. No credit check. But now? It’s starting to feel like a trap dressed as a lifeline . And Klarna? It’s the poster child. Because while the headlines say Klarna’s losing money , what they’re really exposing is this: We are a nation surviving on short-term loans—and shamefully quiet about it. We Weren’t Shopping for Luxury—We Were Buying Time Let’s clear something up: Most people aren’t using Klarna to buy Gucci bags or gold chains. They’re buying groceries. Gas. School shoes. Emergency tires. It’s not about bad spending—it’s about being priced out of basic living . Picture this: A single mother gets a flat tire. She’s got $40 in her account. Klarna wants their fourth installment. But that tire is how she gets to work. She chooses survival. Klarna chooses to punish her. The Debt Is Quiet—Until It’s Not Klarna does...

The $11K That Disappeared: What TWC Took From Me and What I Did About It By The Phoenix Coach™ $11,000. That’s how much was in my unemployment benefits account. Verified. Approved. Mine. Until it wasn’t. What Happened In 2021, the Texas Workforce Commission verified my identity and approved me for over $11K in unemployment benefits. But when I lost my job in 2024 and finally needed to access those funds, I was locked out of my account. When I regained access — the money was gone. Zero. No warning. No payment. No explanation. I was told I owed an overpayment on benefits I never even received. I was told I was disqualified for not reporting to a program they never scheduled. And like too many others — I was told to just move on. Why I’m Telling This Story Because I refused to stay silent. Because I kept my receipts. Because someone else out there is being erased by the same system — and they deserve to know they’re not alone. The Full Breakdown Is Here I’ve documented everything — the ti...

They don’t whip us anymore—but we’re still being chained. Not by iron. Not by plantations. But by systems designed to control Black minds, bodies, and destinies under the disguise of order, protection, and “opportunity.” I call them The Four Chains™ —and they’ve been binding us for generations: Religion Education Healthcare The Legal System I know because I lived it. Because my son didn’t just die— he was targeted. And what they did to him, to Trayvon, and to so many others… they’re still doing to us now. Chain 1: Religion – Spiritual Slavery What should be a sanctuary became a tool of silence . We’re taught to forgive before we even process the pain We’re told to stay quiet in the name of “respecting leadership” The Black church often became a tool of compliance, not liberation Spiritual gaslighting is real—and many pastors are on the payroll of politicians who profit from our pain. Chain 2: Education – Mental Enslavement From the moment our sons enter a classroom, they’re profiled....

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference? Two cases. One pattern. A system that never stopped. By The Phoenix Coach™ The short answer? Race. Media bias. And who gets the luxury of being called a victim. In 2012, the world watched George Zimmerman pursue 17-year-old Trayvon Martin through a Florida neighborhood, against the advice of 911. Trayvon, carrying Skittles and iced tea, was doing nothing more than walking home. Minutes later, he was dead. Zimmerman claimed self-defense under Florida’s “ Stand Your Ground ” law. He said Trayvon attacked him. But Trayvon couldn’t speak for himself—because he was murdered. There were no close-range witnesses. No one who could challenge Zimmerman’s narrative. And so, he walked free. Fast forward to today. A similar tragedy is unfolding in Texas—only this time, the Black teen is alive . His name is Karmelo Anthony (not the celebrity athlete, but a young man whose story is being warped by the media and weaponized by conservative outlets for clic...
