The news reports are incomplete but it seems a number of women, mostly of color, had forced sterilizations in the State of North Carolina due to being young, ignorant and pregnant.
We at the The Ari | af | ya Universe and Sistah Mental Health and Wellness are taking the political stance that these actions taken by the State of North Carolina based on moral zealotry rather than researched scientific fact are crimes against humanity enforcing sexual domination will on impoverished women, mostly of color--African descent.
That the remaining State individuals need to be lawfully arrested for torture, and that these actions need to be brought to the World Court at the Hague. Restitution must be in order in the form of never paying any taxes again and pain and distress.
This is the sepia position paper for this business.

Multitasking as an Autistic or Bipolar in Social Media?
As the owner of The Ari | af | ya Universe, and one that deals with bipolar personally and uses social media to help others with my research science background, I literally crashed into this revelation:Those that deal with Autism Spectrum issues OR Bipolar, specifically in the non-psychotic manic phase, MULTITASK on the computer using Social Media!
Here is my evidence:
Key points it is about communication: For whatever reason the way those who do not have Autism brain's communicate are different than those who do have Autism. As shown by this MRI suggestion.
It is thought that the left and right hemispheres of the brain ineffectively connect in the brains of Autistics and that the areas most affected are communication, some motor skills, sociality, and the ability to gain inference in learning to similarly aged counterparts.
I was awestruck on this subject because people dealing with Autism have a high level of extreme loneliness due to difficulties in communication in person. And I have "electronically met" many autistics online who are rather communicative, in fact they enjoy this kind of interaction...
Next piece of evidence:
Bipolar is has a true biochemical imbalance associated with it that causes mood swings and can lead to suicidal ideation if left untreated.
General signs of bipolar is mixed episode and rapid cycling. Mixed episode swings the moods from depression to mania over a duration. Depression can be extremely low to suicide ideation, excessive sleeping, excessive crying, and isolation. And mania is extraordinary energy, insomnia, irritability, combative, and grandiosity. Rapid cycling is when all these mood swings happen in less than two weeks time, repeatedly.
With the advent of newer Fluorescent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) it has been shown that persons who deal with bipolar often has an inability in their "emotional brain centers" to control their impulses. That these brain centers are anatomically the amygdala and the hippocampus. Several studies suggest that while bipolar children learn similarly to non bipolar children, and their ability to socialize is not impaired, the actual socialization of controlling impulses are inappropriately irrational for the given situation, i.e. bringing a gun to an event after a spat online.
I have "electronically met" many bipolar people online and I myself have found ways to self-manage my condition, I have seen classic differentials from bipolar people.
Lastly my evidence for Multitasking:
A blog showed what multitasking does to drivers in our country. Research suggests that:
“Attention refocusing” is an additional task in the brain going from one task to another and returns which then involves a refocusing to once again engage in the original task.
The problem with multitasking is memory loss as indicated in this WebMD article. People cannot maintain their focus on the task at hand and are unable to compensate, eventually causing them to forget all the tasks that they are to do. Disjointed (non conflicting) tasks done do not share the same parts of the brain, such as folding laundry and listening to music. Conjugated (conflicting) tasks done share same parts of the brain, such as texting while driving...
So what an interesting layer it is when we talk of people who deal with Austism or Bipolar?
For Autistics that are high functioning and/or have mild forms of the spectrum, it would seem to me that they can multitask very well, especially on the computer, but the outcomes of those tasks if not logically outlined for them would never start. In fact, looking at the evolution of computer technology, it does seem like there were some high functioning Autistic programs to make all the "machines" speak to one another. Once you show an autistic individual how, s/he understands and can repeat the action, with high fidelity. Only thing is would one want to do that knowing that is their natural, inherent ability?
For Bipolars it depends on their treatment regimen and how severe it is on either side of the episode. Personally, when I am in an conflated upbeat mood, I set up too many activities online to have them all crashing down within 3-4 months within a level of predictability. Fortunately, I am far enough along to have a wellness recovery action plan that when I do drop, I do not hit the ground hard. I also have some resources at my disposal. I become more combative and argumentative with people, then show remorse. I actually do have problems with forgetfulness, regardless of the social media component. So when I multitask, I become disoriented and fearful. I know I do better with routine and then I can become creative. But managing tasks that I view as others doing themselves seems to me overbearing. So I have to pull back. I have seen others show similar symptoms as mine and while I do not disclose my self-management, at the time of interaction, I do share a few resources, then step back and allow the other person to make a decision.
Social media is an awesome technology and structure is being decided as it is evolving. And with crossing platforms from Facebook to Twitter and the programs that use these platforms, combined with a blog, it causes a lot of multitasking. For individuals dealing with Autism OR bipolar or other major mental illnesses, self-awareness, knowledge and management is key to being in one's best health and wellness.

The Psychological Damage to the Arrest of Prof. Henry Louis (Skip) Gates
The Ariafya Universe's first official position on the matter to later be turned into a "Sepia Paper"
Arrests are a constant occurrence in the African American community. It is the biggest fear that many have, especially by those who have been afforded the opportunity and luxury of an esteemed education. Moreover, African American involvement with a municipal law enforcement is always perceived and viewed as a threat, coercive, divisive and subjugating, regardless of the act. Whether that has been proven to be true through a crime in progress or a perceived illegal action. With the whisperings of a nearly 50 year old segregation Jim Crow laws and how law enforcement enacted it as witnessed by countless African Americans, and "the overseer" vestiges once from a bygone era of involuntary enslavement that reparations will NEVER fix, it is The Ariafya Universe's position that the severe psychological trauma inflicted and never healed in the cultural consciousness of African Americans is perpetual from generation to generation.
Some groups of people demand us to forget that horrid past. Well, that is neglecting our ancestors reality and history. If one fails to know one's past, s/he is doomed to repeat it. Humanity has little use for slavery. It is barbarian, antiquated and a relic. Psychologically it is the position of The Ariafya Universe that is a form of psychosis similar to that of a "serial killer". Much like vicious great white sharks hunt for their prey, the small fish that attaches to sharks do so that they are not consumed. Slavery and all the accoutrements does not advance or grow human intelligence. With our human sights to the stars, how do we expect to get there when the mentality of our officials who impose the law behave no better than "the overseers" of yesteryear?
Dr. Henry Louis Gates' behavior represented a man in distress. He got home from China, jet-lagged and had to maneuver his door to access his rented residence. A nebulous neighbor called police making a false accusation of two "Black Men carrying backpacks", who then investigated the "alleged active burgerlary". Dr. Gates was in his house speaking to his landlord until the police, using the new rules of "probable cause", spoke to him with a strong forceful tone. Now, how many Cambridge, Massachusett's police officers actually catch a "suspect" in the act? It comes to police training and experience.
Unfortunately, the exhausted, stressed Dr. Gates responded angrily and rightfully so. But that is what got him arrested. As everyone in the African American community knows, yelling at the police gets you nowhere and you do get arrested for it. So one of the greatest historians at Harvard was arrested because he had to get into his house?
Later, the charges were dropped by the Cambridge, Massachusett's police department. Because once they determined who they just arrested, the long hot summer would commence. It was likened to a Rosa Parks in Montgomery, Alabama.
But what this really does is indicate to those of us who are highly educated, that is does not matter if we obtain the pinnicle of high academia, if we are Black we are no more than servants quarters. Then, to our young people, it further instills, why get an education?
As for Dr. Gates, why should he have held his tongue after an exhausting 20 hours flight from a foreign country? Why should he justify his actions in his own house?
Finally who is this subhuman ignoramous neighbor that had the audacity to lie to the police with false accusations reminiscent of a white woman being raped by a black man? What was her interaction with Dr. Gates' and should it matter?
What it does in the professional opinion of The Ariafya Universe is ask people of African descent in America to suppress their legitimate welling up of feelings, humiliation and frustrations, force them down to parts that no longer hurt--much like a physically/sexually abuse victim does--which that pain later turns into a severe chronic health condition, like hypertension, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer--key chronic diseases that particularly affect large swaths of African Americans and is the largest health disparity seen between African Americans and caucasians.
The issue does not dwell solely on how a person undergoing this issue "handles it". This issue is about institutionalized bigotry and racism. Serial killer rapists who seek power over humans attempt to fabricated, fanatically fanaticize, and outright lie to get their "thrill ride" of subjugating and perverting a human being. What hurts from the victims standpoint is not only the offending horrendous act-rightfully so--but all the all the wonderings, of "why me", "did I ask for it", "how do I move forward". Moving forward positively takes a long time to recover after the offensive act-which usually is perceived in the brain as severe trauma, such that like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)--and the handling of the incident is unique from one individual to another. What makes racism toward African Americans so horrendous that recent genetic data clearly shows that non-synomynous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have evolved in key chronic diseases that enable survivability upon full adulthood, but no longer effective during aging. As time goes on and racist acts fail to change, behavioral genetics, especially those systems involved in anger, will be further selected.
It is the formulating professional opinion The Ariafya Universe that anyone enacting, promoting and promulgating their abusive delusions are no more than serial killer rapists and deserve to be placed under tribunal and grand jury violations, arrested and placed into terrorist supermax prisions. Once there, they need single confinement. Treatment will not change these perversions. Only imprisionment or possibly capital punishment.

What is The Ari | af | ya Universe?
The Ari | af | ya Universe is the premier online mental health and wellness resource support group for diverse women. The word Ariafya is the Americanization of 2 KiSwahili words combined to mean: Zeal, Enthusiasm, Eagerness, Initiative, Spirit, Keenness, Inventiveness, Health, Well-Being, Strength, Vigor, and Power!
I created this safe-free-zone for women who suffer or recovery from mental angst or are caregivers to those who suffer from mental illness. In diverse communities, more often than not, most who suffer from mental illness are alienated until there is crisis. By the time crisis has occurred law enforcement is involved, or worse. And suppressed untreated mental illness often leads to chronic diseases, such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer, etc.
It is imperative, that diverse cultures attempt to stave off and seek recovery from key mental illnesses, such as depression, bipolar, anxieties and PTSD. I don't say schizophrenia, while a hard disease, people who suffer are unable to care for themselves completely without treatment, so they are already involved in some form of treatment. I am NOT saying the treatment is stellar, but the bulk of the one's I listed are untreated and observed at a higher rates in diverse communities. The other mental illnesses, such as borderline personality disorder, DID, et al. will be discussed on the private side of the Ariafya Universe. Moreover, substance abuse will be discussed also.
So The Ariafya Universe essentially a social network. Since some of the participants are diagnosed with a mental illness, they have been burned by the current array of mental health public message boards out there. Moreover, there is no assurance of cultural competency, so when explaining difficulties in mental illness and say being a woman of color, the participants often are further demeaned by ignorant comments, some by licensed professionals-further stigmatizing an individual from their communties. So, everyone who is admitted to the "Isle"--an online sanctuary--has to be screened for liability of NOT being in crisis. Because The Ariafya Universe assumes all participants are working with a licensed mental health care provider.
Then for the security, confidentiality and privacy, there is an annual fee charged.
The fee structure is explained on the website: Sistah Mental Health
At this time, gentlemen are asked to fill out a survey as to their preferences for The Ariafya Universe. Due to the notable differences between men and women in mental health treatment options, there are some unique developments we must engage in before creating a space for them.
