2A Gun Activists, MajToure and Affiliates, Claiming to Help Protect Black Communities, Launch Massive Smear Campaign Against Black Woman, Leading to Hundreds of Sexual Harassment Tweets, Violating Georgia's Criminal Law
Update: December 6, 2022
3 hours after I published this article, MajToure published this post on Twitter. We will be adding it to our case as this tweet suggests it's cheaper to "pay the rounds" to have someone removed than to go back and forth with that person online. Any subtweets that suggest violence towards me or anyone who reported Maj Toure's online abuse will be submitted to the police.

Roughly four-in-ten Americans have experienced online harassment, with half of this group citing politics as the reason they think they were targeted. Growing shares face more severe online abuse such as sexual harassment or stalking." - Pew Research, September 2021
In the United States, 1 out of 3 women report instances of abuse. These numbers most often reflect domestic violence. But hostility towards women is also found in the workforce.
The virtual market is no different.
According to Pew Research, nearly 40% of Americans who work or engage online experience online harassment. The issue has become so pervasive, lawmakers in each state now have policies and laws that protect victims from stalking, cyberbullying, harassment, threats, and more.
I am no stranger to this type of treatment. My story is much like that of other women. But unlike so many, I had a strong Black father who raised me. He taught me how to fortify my mind against onslaughts and attacks, a necessary skill set I would later flex as my career entered the political arena.
In 2020, I met MajToure in the same manner in which I met all other well-known Black Conservative influencers: online and via Twitter.
At the height of the new rise of Black Conservatism (or Conscious Black Conservatism), MajToure, like many of us, focused on a niched area pertinent to Black communities. His lane was Black gun ownership and quelling violence in these areas. He coupled his community-based outreach with political activism, namely selling the Libertarian Party as a viable option for Black voters.
Black Guns Matter (BGM) is MajToure's grassroots organization that brings gun safety training to Black communities nationwide. The basic premise of its mission is to help, not hurt. It’s to empower, not dehumanize. It’s to protect, not bring more harm.
As the Conscious Conservative Movement gained notoriety in this conservative space, MajToure reached out to me to form an informal partnership that helped push conservatism in Black communities.
Of course, I obliged because it’s more important to work as a collective than as separatists when we all seemingly have the same goal.
MajToure further extended this informal partnership when he invited me to speak at his 1st annual Solutionary Summit in Atlanta, GA in 2020.
At the time, neither I nor my CCM team knew much about MajToure beyond his community work. However, stories about him began circulating Twitter and Instagram regarding a case involving him and a young woman.
Information was still vague, and for the most part, he told his audience (including all the influencers affiliated with the Black Conservative Movement) that the allegations were false. Over time, we learned the case had been dismissed, which seemed to corroborate his story.

Having experienced my own situation, I understand the importance of getting one’s case dismissed and charges dropped. When prosecutors and judges can find no evidence proving a person committed a crime, that defendant must be released.
Yet, over the last couple of years, MajToure continued to endure smear campaigns designed to brand him as a rapist against underage girls.
In 2021, another story alleging sexual harassment and assault regarding MajToure popped off on Twitter, but it didn’t reach the level as other ones.

I'm familiar with Naomi. She used to be very active in our Black Conservative Movement in 2020. So, I was shocked to learn she was much more familiar with this story.
Around this same time, my team and I read Twitter statements that indicated the girl had not appeared to testify against MajToure, thus resulting in the case being dropped.
When dealing with the courts, if a victim does not appear to testify, the courts have no choice but to dismiss the case.
A victim's testimony is that crucial.
If, in fact, that was the scenario regarding MajToure's case, then this explains why the charges were dropped. But, again, without having access to the young woman to gather her side, I saw no reason to disbelieve his story.
Now, before I proceed, let me inform you how my mind works. To fully believe a story, I require evidence. Too often, depending on the type of profession a person holds, gossip can get you arrested.
For example, this is a common theme and practice in the public school systems. A disgruntled student need only make one accusation against an instructor, and that teacher is automatically arrested. There is no due process in the educational system, and it’s why numerous teachers succumb to blackmail, coercion, and threats made by students.
My story is a prime example.
In 2010, I was arrested on charges of sexual misconduct with my student. This incident happened after serving 5+ consecutive years in the public school system with an impeccable record. Two years after the arrest, those charges were dropped and my case fully dismissed because evidence over time corroborated my story.
I had never raped my student. And I have never harmed my scholars. In truth, the harm was done to me; and my attorney helped me understand that my situation was a case of "rape by coercion."
In a report called "Rape by Coercion," the author highlighted this point:

In a report called "Rape by Coercion," the author highlighted this point:
This chapter deals with rape by coercion. The particular focus here is on cases in which a defendant obtains sex by threatening a complainant with some nonviolent harm unless she consents—for example, where he threatens to fire her from her job, report her to the immigration authorities, or break off their marriage engagement. Which kinds of threats exactly make communicated consent invalid? And even if consent is determined to be invalid, does that mean that criminalization is justified? The question directly parallels one raised in the case of rape by deceit. Of particular concern is with cases in which the defendant threatens that unless the victim submits, he will do something that most people would regard as trivial, such as giving his victim a parking ticket. Also considered here are cases in which the defendant induces a complainant into having sex by making her a coercive or exploitative offer (as opposed to a threat). The paradigmatic scenario here is Hollywood’s notorious casting couch. The problem of sex obtained by nonviolent threats is of particular interest in light of the #MeToo movement.
Back in 2010, I had no knowledge of this type of rape. I had no knowledge that blackmail was illegal or rape also fit within the confines of nonviolent threats.
And why should I know such matters? Nobody in my teaching credential program told us about these dangers in the schools. Becoming legally-minded was not a part of our training and curriculum.
Quite often, teachers walk directly into these war zones known as the public education system. It is an apparatus that permits student abuse while making it impossible for teachers to secure rightful due process. Understanding this structure is why, after defeating my case, I refused to re-enter the public school system.
Instead, I decided to contribute my teaching gifts to the online market where I could be safe ... or so I thought the virtual workforce was 100% safe.
People unaware of the law and those with limited to no understanding of the criminal justice system show their ignorance routinely. This is why I do not waste time answering questions from the general public when the courts have already vindicated me.
The most people will receive from me is the story I share in my memoir, To My Beloveds: A Memoir of My Personal Comeback in the Aftermath of My Scandalous Story.
My experience is also why I stay legally-minded now. When a woman has been victimized once, she will inevitably experience it again unless she learns how to think differently and use current laws to protect herself.
In 2010, when I told the police about what happened to me, they said, “He raped you?”
When I told my attorney the same story, without ever mentioning the word rape because I equated it with something more physically violent, he said, “He raped you.”
My story was recounted to the prosecutor as well. But given the high profile nature of the case, he still pursued charges against me. Yet, over time, this same prosecutor, having witnessed that I was neither a rapist nor a threat to children/youth, worked to get my case dismissed and the charges dropped.
Media just so happened to ignore that bit of evidence. Nevertheless, God continues vindicating me publicly, and my story has been conveyed to EVERY Black Conservative influencer in our space, including MajToure.
As such, reading the Twitter statements about his rape case did not move me, because my own experience demands evidence proving a person has raped an underage girl.
Without direct access to the alleged victim, I had no reason not to believe MajToure's version, especially since the case was dismissed.
My point being: I, more than anyone else, fully empathized with MajToure's story. So, you can imagine how his recent cyberbullying and cyberstalking against me has us all baffled.
Furthermore, after examining my experience with him since 2020, I am more inclined to believe the women's harassment and threat accusations against MajToure are valid.

Around early 2021, MajToure contacted me privately again, but this time to ask me about more personal matters regarding my relationship status.
He wanted to know if I was married, to which I replied, “I’m divorced but in a relationship.” After that statement, he didn’t inquire of my relationship status again, however there were moments when MajToure made public tweets suggesting his interest was still here.
In one case, a public conversation between a few other Black Conservative men had me as their topic of discussion. They joked about how petite I was, and one man mentioned something about my small hands.
At that moment, MajToure jumped into the Twitter conversation and said, “Oh, she got tiny hands?” Apparently, the men understood the innuendo back of that statement, to which one replied with a meme.

I watched the exchange for a moment, but thought nothing of it. As long as a man isn’t vulgar towards me in a way that I find utterly offensive, I generally have nothing to say. Plus, given the fact that another Black Conservative man checked MajToure's “tiny hands” comment, I left it alone.
For several months thereafter, my connection to MajToure was simply within the confines of this professional, political space. I never felt he disrespected me in any way, nor did I ever fear he would later disrespect me.
In fact, seeing that our stories were fairly similar (based on what he told us), it seemed if anyone could understand my story and the power of rebuilding, it would be MajToure. For that cause, I had no reason to stop supporting his work.
But by December 2022, I clearly witnessed MajToure's attitude change towards me, which caught everyone off guard. We've had no private or public exchanges to warrant this shift. So, his subsequent actions seemed to emerge from left field.
Every single follower of mine and those adjacent to Twitter Class know how much I preach the need for us to remain loyal to the principles as we do community work.
Recently, in response to Kanye West (aka Ye) and his alliance with White Nationalists members like Nick Fuentes and Milo Yinappolis, I became increasingly bothered by the Black Conservative men’s refusal to call out Ye for real.
I’m not talking about an occasional, “Ye is goofy.” I’m talking about seeing them use the same fire they have for the likes of Roland Martin, and putting that same check on Ye. They wouldn’t, and it’s because some of the men in our Black Conservative space had recently gained access to Ye, which I can only speculate they wanted to maintain that connection as much as possible.
Further controversy eroded when the nation learned about Balenciago and its ties to child pornography.
MajToure, who is no stranger to calling out this type of debauchery, began targeting “Blue Check Celebrities,” who seemed to do very little to distance themselves or denounce Balenciaga’s actions.
As I watched MajToure call them out, I jumped in his comments and asked if he was also going to call out Ye for his Balenciaga support. In fact, that same day, Alex Jones interviewed Ye (in what was the most bizarre, racist interview I’ve ever seen). And what was Ye wearing other than the Balenciaga signature “bondage” look.
I shared these pictures in MajToure's comments to prove Ye was, in fact, still affiliated with Balenciaga and promoting them.
My exchange with MajToure was no different than the kind of political exchanges I’ve had with other folks. I always stick with ideas. I battle them when perspectives need to be added to controversial topics.
This is who I am and what I do, and my political commentary has always been this way. It's one of the reasons MajToure invited me to speak at his Solutionary Summits.
At no point did I disrespect MajToure during this exchange.
But for whatever reason, MajToure resorted to calling me a bitch to his audience in response.

But for whatever reason, MajToure resorted to calling me a bitch to his audience in response.
At that point, I decided to block him, because we don't engage in below-the-belt insults when debating or discussing politics. When a man refers to me as a bitch, he has lost all respect for me as a human and a critical thinker. To prevent any further hostility, I simply block and move on.
On this “pro-Black” side, we pride ourselves on sticking with the ideas and battling them out. We NEVER resort to sexist name-calling, especially when such words are dehumanizing to women.
After blocking him, I told one of my former team leaders that I would not support MajToure's work anymore. We have an obligation to remain loyal to the principles, because this is how our platforms were built. A lack of respect cannot be tolerated, and therefore I opted to cease in my support.
Now, I had no intentions of making a public announcement regarding the matter, because it simply was not that important.
But the next day, during one of my LIVE podcast episodes on Twitter, MajToure launched a smear campaign against me, which resulted in a flood of online male harassers and well-known Twitter influencers referring to me as a “pedophile,” “female rapist” and “child molester.”

Rhonda Mary works closely with MajToure, and her statement was an indirect subtweet towards me. This same post generated tens of thousands of impressions, and within the comments, you will see people speaking directly about me in the most inhumane way.
MajToure's smear completely caught me off guard, because he has told us repeatedly over the years that he does not attack women, even if he disagrees with them. He, like other Black Conservative men, typically leave any issues among the women to stay among the women. Even when he had disagreements with some Black Conservative women, we never watched him resort to calling them “bitches” let alone launching a smear campaign against them. (And this man went on an interview with Candace Owens, who has a track record of dehumanizing Black voters. Yet, Maj NEVER resorted to belittling and dehumanizing her the way he did me.)
A few hours after making his smear post against me, my team informed me he had deleted it. (But screenshots were taken.) I don’t know for certain why he eventually deleted it, but several of my Twitter followers informed me they had reported MajToure's tweet and account for harassment, which violates Twitter’s Terms of Service.
But by the time the post had been deleted, the damage was done.
For nearly two days, I spent my time on Twitter blocking and reporting harassing messages and comments from men calling me out my name.
It became too much for me, and I eventually demanded MajToure make a public apology for what he did, especially because he knew my case had been dismissed (just like his). I also demanded he make that clear to his audience to keep them from harassing me.
But MajToure has refused to do the right thing. He has publicly smeared a Black woman, me. And despite knowing he is wrong, he still refuses to correct the matter.
One must ask, is this a part of the mission of Black Guns Matter? Are they in the business of helping Black communities while putting Black women in harm’s way simultaneously? How many other women have had a similar experience as me? And is this what we’ve been supporting over the last few years: a “principled” Black Conservative man with a massive national platform strategically sending an entourage of his audience to threaten and harass a woman?
I am telling you, I wouldn't have believed this story if it did not happen directly to me and in front of thousands of Twitter followers.
What MajToure did to me, especially knowing the truth, is abusive. This behavior follows the same pattern of abusers who, when they don't get their way with women, resort to violence, threats, blackmail, coercion, smear campaigns, and more.
We aren't talking about petty gossip here.
These are matters that have serious, often deadly, consequences. And I will do what's in my best interest to protect myself, my child, and my organization from ongoing abuse.

Why Cyberbullying and Cyberstalking are So Dangerous and Why States Today Consider This Criminal Conduct
In this virtual space, as one’s profile increases, it’s not uncommon for that person to be spotted in physical areas for multiple reasons.
The advent of viral posts, especially those containing smear campaigns and controversial topics, have a way of affecting a person’s physical safety and livelihood.
My profile within the conservative space is mainstream. My name, my work, and my movement have become household monikers among Conservatives and Republicans, especially in Georgia. Our work continues doing wonders to help our communities politically while bridging the gap between Black voters and Conservatives.
Today, the political climate is ripe with stories of adults grooming, raping, and molesting children. And there are so many people willing to physically assault a person who has been labeled a pedophile, groomer, or child molester. And many of these folks turn to influencers to get their information.
People holding such online public positions carry a level of credibility that their followers take seriously. And when they make statements that imply another influencer is a pedophile or rapist, knowing their posts are lies or at best, misleading, they must be held responsible for what happens to that victim.
MajToure knows this well. He has been accused of raping an underage girl. So, why launch a smear campaign against another political activist using false allegations?
And given his massive Twitter platform, which houses more than 130,000 followers, MajToure knew EXACTLY what he was doing by launching his smear campaign against me. He knew he was endangering me; and for someone to have a daughter of his own, he knew how destructive such actions could be.
Yet, he still did it and expresses no remorse for it.
For that reason, the matter will be handled legally.
Not only must I ensure my safety and that of my daughter, but I also must consider the future safety of the young girls I will work with as we prepare for our all-girls homeschool program. I cannot afford to have lunatics discovering our school’s location, only to wild out because an influencer like MajToure has implied that I am a child rapist.
The legal route is the only option at this point, and this will serve notice to every other big-name influencer who uses his or her platform to destroy me.
Engaging in acts such as these is abusive in nature. Lying about a person because you didn’t get your way with them, especially as it pertains to a sexual or romantic relationship, is abusive. Fabricating stories to destroy another person’s work is abusive.
And thankfully, we now have laws in place to combat that abuse while ensuring protection for the empires we build.

Engaging in acts such as these is abusive in nature. Lying about a person because you didn’t get your way with them, especially as it pertains to a sexual or romantic relationship, is abusive. Fabricating stories to destroy another person’s work is abusive.
And thankfully, we now have laws in place to combat that abuse while ensuring protection for the empires we build.
How The Felecia Killings Foundation, The Conscious Conservative Movement, and I Will Proceed
There are at least two measures a victim can take to receive restitution and justice for an infraction of this magnitude:
Since the rise of the internet, notably social media, states have enacted several laws that protect the rights of citizens.
For example, Georgia law (which we will use as the basis for our legal actions against MajToure, his team, and Black Guns Matter) has strict guidelines defining cyberbullying and cyberstalking.
- File a police report that may lead to criminal investigation based on current cyberbullying and cyberstalking laws
- Sue the offender/abuser for defamation based on libel and slander
Since the rise of the internet, notably social media, states have enacted several laws that protect the rights of citizens.
For example, Georgia law (which we will use as the basis for our legal actions against MajToure, his team, and Black Guns Matter) has strict guidelines defining cyberbullying and cyberstalking.
In Georgia, cyberbullying is considered to be a form of criminal stalking. Specific to the cyber world this includes; using electronic communications devices, equipment, software, apps, or services such as telephones, text messaging, instant messaging, social media, video, email, etc.
Harassing Communications, OCGA 16-11-39.1, in Georgia addresses aspects of cyberbullying. Harassing communications law covers problematic impacts where "a person repeatedly via telecommunication, e-mail, text messaging, or any other form of electronic communication for the purpose of harassing, molesting, threatening, or intimidating such person or the family of such person..." (Source)
Stalking, including cyber-bullying, is a misdemeanor in Georgia (OCGA 16-5-90.) A person convicted of misdemeanor stalking in Georgia faces a jail sentence of up to one year (OCGA § 17-10-3.) (Source)
The legal definition of cyberbullying in Georgia includes the following:
- (1) Any willful attempt or threat to inflict injury on another person, when accompanied by an apparent present ability to do so;
- (2) Any intentional display of force such as would give the victim reason to fear or expect immediate bodily harm; or
- (3) Any intentional written, verbal, or physical act which a reasonable person would perceive as being intended to threaten, harass, or intimidate (Source)
While much of these laws emerged as a result of increased bullying in schools, adults who work in the virtual space can be afforded equal protection under the law.
The second course of available action is to file a lawsuit against the offender for defamation.
According to Georgia law:
The second course of available action is to file a lawsuit against the offender for defamation.
According to Georgia law:
A defamation claim in Georgia requires the plaintiff to show that the defendant made a false and defamatory statement about him or her in an unprivileged communication to a third party. The plaintiff must show at least negligence on the part of the defendant. Finally, the plaintiff must show special harm, unless the statement is actionable without a showing of special harm.
There are two forms of defamation: libel and slander. Georgia law defines libel as “a false and malicious defamation” that would tend to injure the person’s reputation and expose him or her to contempt, hatred, or ridicule. According to the statute, libel occurs when the defamatory communication is in print, writing, pictures, or signs. Georgia law also requires that the information must be published to be actionable. However, libel is considered published when it is communicated to anyone other than the person who is the subject of the libel.
In some cases, damages are inferred from the nature of the statements made. In other circumstances, the plaintiff will have to prove that he or she suffered a specific type of harm. The amount of damages a plaintiff is entitled to receive will depend upon the nature of the defamatory communication and to whom it was made. In workplace defamation cases, a person may be able to show that he or she lost employment opportunities as a result of the unlawful statements.
The Georgia statute of limitations for defamation is quite short, lasting just one year from the alleged statement. A person who believes he or she has been harmed must act quickly to ensure that his or her rights are protected. (Source)
Given the nature of MajToure’s massive, national platform and his organization’s mission to protect Black communities from harm issued against them, I find it necessary to pursue legal action against him for causing irreparable harm to me, my brand, and my organization.
The greatest damage thus far has been the direct threats and sexually harassing messages his post caused other Twitter accounts to send my way. Add to it, the Black Guns Matter affiliates (like Rhonda Mary) are equally complicit in the cyberstalking and cyberbullying because they falsely labeled me a “female rapist” and “child molester.”
As it stands, given the transparency I’ve established with my Beloved audience, no financial damages have incurred as of today’s posting. My audience is well aware of my story and the case’s dismissal. They are also aware of WHY I initially chose the plea deal after the case dragged on for more than a year.
For further reference, my ex- and I became pregnant with my beautiful daughter, Aaliyah Amore, in 2011. But the stress about the case made me incredibly sick. I needed to focus on our health, and as such, I told my attorney to end this case.
Becoming a mother changed things for me.
And after I successfully delivered my healthy tiny human, I returned to the courts to fight for my name's clearance.
And I won.
I won with the prosecutor's help, and I will never be ashamed of my story, because God delivered me out of that trouble.

Going through smear campaigns is nothing new for me.
In fact, I’ve endured them since 2018. And each time, God elevated my platform and voice, because I understand that persecution produces power.
In those previous instances, I never felt the possible threat of having those smears affect me in the offline space.
But today, and because The Foundation is preparing to launch our all-girls group homeschool program, it is imperative that all smear campaigns, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking be handled legally to ensure my safety, my girls’ safety, and the safety of other women with whom I work in Atlanta, GA.
If MajToure and his affiliates were attempting to get me and my team to invest in gun ownership for our protection, they succeeded. His willingness to put me, my daughter, and others in harm’s way proves women must do what’s needed to guard ourselves, our children, and our assets. Furthermore, women must be ever-mindful of laws that protect as well. They must get in position to use current laws against online abusers like MajToure. And if necessary, use force in the offline space so lunatics who follow the likes of MajToure do not have a chance to harm us.
Our next steps in this process include:
Let our current actions and legal responses be a warning to any other person wishing to cause harm to me and mine. We will not hesitate to use the same legal actions against you so you know what it’s like to deal with the police, the criminal justice system, the courts, and long-term consequences of having your name, image, and brand associated with crimes such as cyberbullying and cyberstalking.
Take notice: This is not a high-school gossip world. You will be held criminally and civilly accountable for your actions. I will see to it when it comes to this vision and work God has given me.
As I’ve said before: It’s all fun and games until things get legal.
As a reminder: All I asked of MajToure was a simple public apology and full disclosure to his audience. He did not oblige. Our subsequent legal actions are the result of his unwillingness to help protect Black women whom he has put in harm’s way. His current actions against me directly conflict with his organization’s purpose.
Therefore, I will proceed accordingly.

Our next steps in this process include:
- Publishing this statement on The Foundation’s website and Twitter and sending this statement to our mailing list contain thousands of Conservative/Republican voters, including those a part of the Republican leadership in Georgia and nationwide.
- Filing the necessary police reports against MajToure and his affiliates to maintain records. If necessary, we will also file for restraining orders against all participants.
- Contacting Twitter to report each account that participated in the smear campaign, which resulted in harassment and threats.
- Keeping detailed records of proceeding events should anything related to MajToure’s actions affect our finances or cause more irreparable harm. In which case, a defamation lawsuit against MajToure and Black Guns Matter will ensue.
- Lastly, I will willingly speak to any media outlet and podcast to discuss this story. MajToure has become a nationally-recognized Black activist. As such, it’s important that more women understand who they are dealing with should they decide to work with him. I’m adamant about helping women know their rights. And had I not learned them myself, I would be completely terrified to continue my work of ministry, both online and offline. (Inquiries can be sent to Connect@FeleciaKillings.org.)

A Message to Women Working Online
You have a legal right to function in a safe working environment, including one that entails the virtual space.
In the traditional workforce, if a fellow co-worker created a hostile environment that included sexual harassment, slander, and libel against you, you are entitled to restitution and compensation for damages.
You’re also entitled to legal protection so no physical harm comes your way as a result of that offender’s actions.
Given the nature of the online space and how more citizens are using this venue for business and career, there are protections available to you right now to ensure you are safeguarded.
Here’s how to get started:
These steps are what I have used to ensure the legal protection for me, my daughter, and the virtual empire I have built over the years. And this is not the first time I have had to contact authorities for being cyberbullied and cyberstalked. After learning more about these laws and taking measures into my hands to get legal with it, the offender ceased in his online abuse. Should he do it again, more formal charges will be issued.
While pursuing legal matters against online abusers is taxing, it is also a long-term investment in your online business or career.
Laws are here for a reason. And when people refuse to honor the basic laws of God, then you have a legal right to do what’s in the best interest of yourself using the laws of the land.
In the traditional workforce, if a fellow co-worker created a hostile environment that included sexual harassment, slander, and libel against you, you are entitled to restitution and compensation for damages.
You’re also entitled to legal protection so no physical harm comes your way as a result of that offender’s actions.
Given the nature of the online space and how more citizens are using this venue for business and career, there are protections available to you right now to ensure you are safeguarded.
Here’s how to get started:
- Document and screenshot everything. 99.99% of the time, an online offender will publish his defamatory content against you in writing or in video format. Social media will often be the medium used to convey those messages to a wider audience with the purpose of destroying your image and career. For that reason, you must document everything, including taking snapshots of posts to support your claim. Social media provides ample evidence for your story, because it includes the offender’s contact information, date and time stamps of the offense, immediate evidence proving the irreparable harm, and statements from account members who witness the cyberbullying and cyberstalking. Offenders today lack the knowledge to understand how their written and verbal content can be used against them. While many people will say they can publish whatever they want under the umbrella of “free speech,” in truth, one’s speech against another person can and will be used against them in court.
- Stay legally-minded and know your rights. I can guarantee, for every injustice you feel about a matter, there is a law on the books to protect you. For this reason, you must remain legally-minded. The internet has provided a plethora of educational materials that help you understand which laws on the books will protect you, your brand, your online reputation, and your physical body. Know them. All of them. Law firms in your state will often have blog posts that help you better understand your rights. Once you develop this understanding, you become empowered and fear immediately flees. Knowledge of these laws will then inform your next steps while giving you the confidence to pursue legal action. It will also keep you from making an emotional decision, which can often be used against you if the offender is someone personal to you.
- Understand who your offender is and target accordingly. At times, when working online, especially using social media, it’s hard to know who to target with legal action. Therefore, it’s important to understand how the virtual space (social media) works. Twitter, for example, acts as a host for content creators to publish their materials whether in written, audio, or video format. Social media platforms will often include “Terms of Services” or “Terms of Usage” as a measure to protect them from being sued for defamation or other harmful acts. When a user agrees to these terms, he is responsible for ensuring his published content through these third-party entities do not violate the TOS. If they do, the social media platforms reserve the right to suspend or permanently ban the account. With this knowledge, you can petition to have your offender’s account reviewed for harassment and intimidation. But understand you cannot sue the social media platform for defamation or hold the platform criminally responsible for the offender’s actions. Instead, you must see the offender’s content in light of the publishing world. As social media users, 100% of all accounts are considered “content creators” or “publishers.” That means if a user’s account publishes content that directly sends harm your way, you must pursue actions against the user based on current criminal and civil laws in your state.
- Understand when you should pursue legal action against an offender. Quite often, when working in the virtual space and in social media, you will confront “bots” who may try to harm you. These no-face, no-name accounts matter not. You can simply report them, block them, and be on your way because they carry no influence. However, when an account that has a national audience launches an attack on you, and it causes thousands of other accounts to harass or intimidate you, pursue legal action immediately. In states like Georgia, the statute of limitation is small, roughly a year after the offense has taken place. Therefore, it’s important to document the offense immediately and gather as much evidence and external statements as possible to validate your story. Screenshots are especially important as the offender may attempt to delete his post after realizing he will confront a legal battle. Larger platforms have a bigger responsibility to ensure safety remains a key part of virtual interaction on social media. When those accounts violate the TOS and your rights, it will inevitably lead to physical, financial, and emotional damages. Therefore, you must pursue legal action immediately.
- Construct your statement in written format, including all the evidence you’ve gathered to corroborate your claims. When it comes to the law, emotions don’t matter. Only evidence. The clearer you are in your statements, the easier law enforcement can act on your behalf. In addition, should you pursue civil action, your lawyer will have the data available to adequately articulate your case in court. I cannot stress enough the importance of remaining legally-minded and keeping yourself from delivering your statement emotionally. As difficult as the matter is, you must give a clear, accurate account to ensure the best outcome in your favor. Constructing your statement in written format ahead of time will do wonders for you.
- Contact law enforcement to file a police report. In most cases, filing a police report based on what your offender is doing is to keep a track record of your pursuit for justice. Your filing does not automatically constitute an arrest. But it will give you evidence proving you are serious about protecting yourself from harassment, intimidation, and other dangers. Filing the report also puts the offender at bay. Most often, he will be instructed not to contact you or publish anything against you again online. If matters become physically endangering, your police report will serve as necessary documentation to secure a restraining order.
- Finally, contact an attorney. While you might think this step is too expensive, consider the options available to you today. Quite often, lawyers provide FREE consultations to discuss your case. If it’s a matter they can successfully fight for you, they will tell you their fee. If you need support with that funding, consider soliciting resources from your online audience and/or family members. Another option is to hire LegalZoom.com. For a small monthly fee ($50/month the last time I used them), you can receive unlimited legal support for your situation. If you decide to represent yourself in court to alleviate lawyer fees, LegaZoom’s insight will help you craft the right message so you are most effective.
These steps are what I have used to ensure the legal protection for me, my daughter, and the virtual empire I have built over the years. And this is not the first time I have had to contact authorities for being cyberbullied and cyberstalked. After learning more about these laws and taking measures into my hands to get legal with it, the offender ceased in his online abuse. Should he do it again, more formal charges will be issued.

Final Thoughts
I cannot tell you how incredibly disappointed I am in MajToure. I considered him a fellow colleague in this Black Conservative space. Furthermore, I considered him to be the type who would never endanger a woman, especially given his story of raping underage girls yet having the case dismissed. His motive for doing this smear still evades me.
To those young women who may read this statement and feel you were also a target of MajToure, please know that, had this situation not happened to me, I could have never believed a man like him would be this vile and this violent towards women. I did nothing to deserve this. As a single mother of a daughter, I would never want something like this done to her. The matter has so many of us baffled. And I’m sure you have your own story to tell.
Whatever it is, I pray you feel some vindication in the matter. Please know that The Felecia Killings Foundation, the Conscious Conservative Movement, and I take stories of men hurting women very seriously here. We listen to everyone’s story and proceed accordingly. We believe strongly in blessing those who have been hurt or harmed, whether online or offline. And we will continue our work of ministry, despite the recent onslaught cast by MajToure and his Black Guns Matter affiliates.
To the Beloveds reading this statement, please continue to send your love, prayers, and financial support towards our work of ministry and Black Outreach. As I shared with Twitter Class, I have never lied to you. I have been transparent with you, especially regarding my story. I have published the book for you to consume. There are court documents verifying my story, and my attorney did not hesitate to answer questions from those who wondered how and why my case was dismissed. My story also aligns perfectly with the timing of delivering my daughter. And you can see for yourself, especially if you read my memoir, that my experience was not the only one. The student threatened other teachers and other young women at the same time he harmed me.
Again, I have remained transparent and God has proven repeatedly that my story is factual.
Furthermore, I am a mother.
I do not harm children.
And there is not a single bit of evidence to support the lies MajToure and his affiliates have publicly mentioned about me. They chose to reference a decades-old article from the Daily Republic, a news media outlet in Fairfield, CA that did NOT highlight my case's dismissal and why.
Media malpractice is a norm.
In fact, MajToure calls media "the most effective devil in America."
Yet, he used media and his massive platform to harass and intimidate me.
MajToure is a hypocrite. He is a liar. He is an online abuser. And now I have no reason to doubt the other women's statements, which suggests he has been equally harassing and threatening to them.
I wouldn’t wish this treatment on my worst enemy.
Although the media never highlighted my full story, God has done so in many different ways. I am eternally grateful to the Holy Spirit for His ongoing protection and provision.
And I thank you for being a strong supporter over the years.
I am confident this situation, no matter how long it takes in the legal arena, will work together for good.
Be blessed.
And as always, let’s grow together!
