Selling a Dream, Living a Nightmare: Nature Boy & Carbon Nation (Part 1)

In 2015, amid a backdrop of intense societal fear, racial injustice, and trauma in America, a charismatic voice emerged online promising a radical escape. Eligio Bishop—a former barber, army veteran, and dancer—rebranded himself as “Nature Boy” (and later, “3God”). He used social media to recruit young, vulnerable Black creatives, selling them a dream of a “Black utopia.” He urged them to leave the United States, drop out of "grind culture," and return to a pure, communal life in nature.

The Math Isn’t Mathing: The Kendrick Johnson Case

On January 11, 2013, the students of Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia, made a discovery that would haunt the community for over a decade. Tucked inside a rolled-up wrestling mat in the "old gym" were the remains of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson. While investigators were quick to label his death a tragic accident—claiming he became stuck while reaching for a shoe—the evidence tells a far more complicated story. From missing organs replaced with newspaper to an hour of missing surveillance footage and conflicting autopsy reports, the "math just isn't mathing."
