April 28, 2022 by Zarin Rahime 2 Comments

But sitting with her and listening to her stories, you will realize that she is nothing but a courageous woman who defied the odds of many immigrant stories.  And this is Jamila Rahime, a 61-year-old mother of two who fled Afghanistan at the age of 17 to live an American dream.

Introducing Our New Series: Women of Invisible Empire

March 6, 2019 by Irene Molinar 781 Comments

“Because you are beautiful and smart, there will be lots of people who don’t like that, and they will show you that they don’t necessarily like that. Do you know what you’re going to do?” she asked. “You’re going to smile and wish them love…and then you’re going to keep being beautiful and smart—because that’s what you’re good at.” I was 6 years old when my mother explained this to me. It was her “haters are gonna hate” speech. It was and still is my favorite teaching by her. She’s the type of woman you want by your side when things hit the fan. This is slightly due to her ability to step up to the plate when it gets tough. As the oldest of six children, she was essentially … [Read more...] about Introducing Our New Series: Women of Invisible Empire

May 29, 2017 by Arturo Brooks 200 Comments

By Arturo Brooks |Staff Writer| Since I was little I wanted to serve my country for glory and the fascination towards war. Thoughts of possible injury and death never crossed my mind then. When I was 19 I decided to make my dream become a reality by becoming U.S. Army 19-Delta Calvary Scout, which was against my parent’s wishes. My father was none too thrilled with 19-D having such a high causality rate. My mother was none too thrilled either. My stepfather at the time was a recruiter for the U.S. Army. He asked me, man to man, if this truly the job I wanted. I proudly expresses that is was truly what I wanted and he supported me. My mother and stepfather both helped me … [Read more...] about Veteran Thoughts: Fighting a War Inside

During the daylight hours, the … [Read more...] about San Bernardino County Fair

Beyond the past

November 28, 2016 by Tommy McCardle 13 Comments

By Tommy McCardle |Staff Writer| Many people have a theory that their past experiences and interactions with others takes a part in shaping their personality traits in the future. There is an old saying, “history is bound to repeat itself if one does not learn from it.” Syd Moore, author of “The Drowning Pool,” offers advice to those that question their past’s influence on who they become in the future. “Disregard for the past will never do us any good as without it we cannot know truly who we are,” said Moore. One’s past not only affects themselves, but it is believed to have an adverse effect on others around them. “I am a child of divorce, so that really screwed me up,” said … [Read more...] about Beyond the past
