My interview with Regina Kelly. The woman whom the film American Violet is based on

I would love to talk to you about a project I'm working on.

Thanks for posting these informative blogs about what's going on in the Black community.

I also wanted to add that I learned very early about the need for "real lawyers" vs. court appointed people when I was a young university student in my final year of nursing school. I was very fortunate to obtain an attorney who I will never forget helped me out so much with just a phone call to an overzealous Columbia South Carolina police detective who was hell bent on "pinning" me with stealing a "so called family heirloom" of a elderly patient at a hospital (that shall remain nameless) for which I worked at the time.

Get this...the daughter who wasn't in the hospital at the time to witness the so called event told the detective that I did it & that was the basis of the whole investigation (after all this woman was a reliable witness from her house). I took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors only to be accused of taking a some kind of "calming drug". It was a circus until my attorney called the detective and told him never to contact me again. I was left in peace to concentrate on my final exams.
