        Tragic. I've also known people who had money, families & psychiatric treatment, yet still died by their own hands. Sadly, we do not yet have the resources & scientific knowledge to successfully treat all mental illness. #RIP, Nakesha. Thank you for sharing your light. 🌄🌇 🌌

        Nakesha’s story pulls at you because we’ve all encountered (or will encounter) a Nakesha at some point in our life!

        "A life undone by 'mental illness'", when your own article says she was sexually abused as a child? Also, her own family, who mercilessly abandoned her to the streets, is quoted as saying "she's better off dead", roughly, and you published that? Not just once, but twice. Wow...

        Next, your publication will be pushing for euthanasia of the homeless en masse. If no one speaks out against this posthumous bullshit. What a hit piece -- talk about beating a dead horse...
