Remembering Malcolm X
Today I honor my spiritual father, Malcolm X. 🖤 His courage, his fire, his discipline, and his unapologetic love for Black people shaped generations including me. He taught us to think for ourselves, to stand on truth, and to defend our dignity by any means necessary. February 21 is not just a date. It is a reminder. A reminder that our voices matter. Our lives matter. Our liberation matters. I’m asking everyone to pause today and remember Brother Malcolm. Study him. Quote h

Rest In Paradise Reverend Jesse Jackson
Rest in Paradise to a giant in the fight for justice. Rainbow PUSH Coalition was where I first learned that activism is not just emotion, it’s strategy, unity, and commitment. That experience helped mold the activist I am today. Thank you for opening doors and setting an example of leadership, courage, and consistency. The work continues. ✊🏾🕊️ #JesseJackson #mscelinacharles #purposedforthepeople

THIS IS NOT JUSTICE
Read this carefully. This is the State’s Omnibus Opposition filed by ADA Lance Beal in Dwight Celestine’s case. Instead of addressing Brady violations, discovery failures, and conflicts of interest, the State labels Dwight’s motions as “frivolous” and accuses him of delaying the process. Let’s be clear. Dwight has been asking for discovery on an amended bill. His court appointed attorney refused to adopt or argue his motions. A motion questioning Dwight’s competency was filed

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
This is Dwight Celestine’s court appointed attorney Jarvis Claiborne. On the record, Mr. Claiborne told the court he would not adopt or argue any motions Dwight filed, even motions requesting discovery for a newly amended bill. He admitted Dwight asked him over a month earlier to file for discovery and he did not do it. Instead, without Dwight’s consent, he filed a motion claiming Dwight was incompetent and requested a sanity commission, while simultaneously stating in open c

ILLEGAL 15JDC RAILROADING
⛔️⛔️ TOP OF THE MORNING On January 29, 2026 ADA Lance Beal the prosecutor admitted on the record that the State amended the charge against Dwight Celestine and said: “There is no different discovery. The State just amended the charge more appropriately.” Let that sink in. How can a charge be changed years later and the State claim nothing new is required? A different charge means different elements. Different elements require different proof. Different proof requires disclosu

Sentenced to LIFE
Today was a heavy day, but it was also a step toward accountability. Brandon Francisco was sentenced to life in the Ella Goodie case. As part of his plea, he told the court he provided information about where Ella’s remains may be. The family is now waiting, praying that she can finally be found and laid to rest. Justice doesn’t feel complete until a mother and father can bring their child home. Ms. Katie Goodie has shown grace and forgiveness, asking only for her daughter to

Being white versus black
Let’s talk about white privilege and how it shows up when lives are taken. When Ta’Kiya Young, a pregnant Black woman, was killed by police, she was immediately painted as a criminal. Her actions were dissected. Her character was attacked. Her death was justified before the evidence was even released. Now a white woman is killed by an ICE agent, and the narrative is different. She is described as interfering. Authorities ask for patience. The agent is protected. Her humanity

Dwight David Celestine case 15 JDC November 17, 2025
Truth will always expose corruption. On November seventeenth Dwight walked into court with no idea that his charge had already been upgraded behind his back. The minutes were changed before the hearing. The amended bill of information was filed after court ended. And not one person in that courtroom protected his right to be informed of the accusation as required by law. When Kimberly Celestine went to the clerk’s office to ask for the bill of information, Hope Picard refused

Justice For Ella Goodie
Justice for Ms. Ella Goodie is beginning to surface in the public eye. Purposed For The People has stood with the family of Ms. Goodie throughout this painful journey, and we have always respected their privacy and their process. Although we were previously aware that the young man had admitted to killing her, we chose not to release that information publicly until her family was ready and the media officially confirmed it, which happened today through KLFY.

⛔️⛔️⛔️This isn’t a call out! This is a call for help! This is a call to action! I do want to thank Tehmi Chassion for responding. After further research it’s my duty to seek higher powers help on behalf of Mr. Dwight David Celestine. For the record this is about a man constitutional rights being violated. Not the alleged crime because the DNA Evidence the prosecutor refused to use is evidence that Dwight should be exonerated. I want to alert everyone about what’s happening

The judge jumped the gun.
The people deserve the truth. On October 15th 2025 the Fifteenth Judicial District Court in Lafayette held a hearing in Dwight Celestine’s case that was not even legal.The case was still under review by the Third Circuit Court of Appeal yet Judge Earles moved forward anyway. The subpoenas on file show no such address which means Dwight was never properly served. The motions and sealed exhibit from that day have no written orders in the record and the court reporter has not re
