About The Reckoning Lens
Critical reflections at the collision of policy, practice, and lived experience.
Here, we examine the systems shaping human lives and what happens when those systems fail the people they were meant to serve.
The Reckoning Lens looks at the world through both the macro and the micro: the personal and the political, the individual story and the wider structure.
Each issue invites you to pause, question, and reframe what you see, not as an observer, but as a witness.
Ground Truth
This is the foundation — where free and paid issues live.
Here, I dig into real-world issues through a social work lens, exploring trauma, power, and policy with human impact as the driver.
Free reflections offer approachable insight and practical awareness.
Paid editions go deeper — full reckonings with research, cited sources, and action lists for readers who want to do something with what they learn.
Witness Statements
Poems of activism, defiance, and truth-telling.
These are not soft verses; they are creative indictments, rooted in empathy and outrage, demanding that we look closer at what’s broken and who’s paying the price.
The Ledger
At the end of each month, the Ledger pulls it all together:
a concise breakdown of that month’s themes, the issues explored, the data behind them, and the shifts — however small — that followed.
It’s a running record of accountability: a place to see where awareness has led to change, and where work still remains.

The goal isn’t outrage. It’s reckoning.
With truth. With systems. With ourselves.
