Here’s the excerpt with only grammatical corrections:

Thank you for the opportunity to be heard.

My name is Carla Hollingsworth, and I would like to speak about something that I feel really passionate about – living at Stuyvesant Gardens. I moved in on May 23, 1990, with my three children. I have had to endure deplorable conditions for decades, and I have lived in three different buildings of the development. The nonexistent insulation, compounded with the radiators that shoot steam at times, causes mold to grow in our closets, and the bathroom vents that have never worked cause the mold to grow in our bathrooms. Then there are the leaks from above that are covered up and never found. By covered up, I mean they will open up the ceiling or wall and eventually close it back up without finding the leak. The dampness attracts the roaches, which live in the walls coexisting with the mice that you can often hear scurrying in the walls. After attending meetings where I’ve asked what the permanent plans are for our development, which was originally built as temporary housing, I have never received an answer.

I was asked by one of the people who descended on the development, knocking on doors and spreading misinformation, what I wanted, and when I answered “accountability,” I was told that I should be happy with a nice apartment. I keep being told that I have no choice because NYCHA doesn’t have the money to do the necessary repairs. That is not the fault of the tenants. I keep being told that NYCHA has been underfunded for decades, but they don’t mention the misappropriated funds throughout the decades. And in light of all that we have been through over the years, we are now being told that we have to trust the entity that has not done the right thing by us to be the oversight of the entities they have chosen to do what they couldn’t. UNFAIR. But, so they tell me, we don’t have a choice. Why? Other developments got the ability to choose the route they wanted to take moving forward—why not us?

I made only grammatical and punctuation corrections while keeping your original tone and structure intact. Let me know if you need any further refinements!

Direct Address to NYCHA President and Top NYCHA Executives at City Hall

Delivered by [Name], President of the Tenant Participation Association and Resident of Stuyvesant Gardens

Introduction

Mr. Chair, Madam President, and members of NYCHA leadership,

I stand before you as a resident and an elected tenant leader, speaking not just for myself but for the countless residents suffering under NYCHA’s neglect and the predatory RAD/PACT program.

NYCHA promised that PACT would improve conditions. Instead, residents are being harassed, intimidated, and misled. Many are being forced to sign leases under duress, threatened with lockouts, or left without basic services.

So I ask you: Who do you serve? The residents whose homes you were entrusted to protect—or the banks, developers, and private interests profiting off our displacement?

Failures and Violations Under RAD/PACT

  • Tenants in Stuyvesant Gardens II had their heat shut off in the winter and were told they needed to sign new leases to get it back. That’s coercion.
  • Special accommodations are ignored, violating federal disability laws.
  • Maintenance tickets are closed without repairs. Many residents have no working stoves, yet NYCHA reports them as “resolved.”
  • Doors are broken, security is nonexistent, and infestations are rampant. No garbage cans, mold in units where tenants suffer from asthma—this is unacceptable.

And yet, NYCHA continues pushing this program under the guise of “resident engagement.” What does transparency mean when decisions are made before tenants even walk into the room?

Legal and Constitutional Violations

Let’s be clear: these aren’t just failures of policy—they’re violations of federal law.

  • The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 mandates that RAD conversions must maintain the same tenant rights as public housing. Yet, tenants are being pressured into signing away their rights.
  • The RAD Fair Housing and Civil Rights Notice requires that reasonable accommodations be honored. But disabled tenants are being ignored.
  • Due process and equal protection under the Constitution are being violated as NYCHA allows private developers to dictate the terms of our housing without oversight.

So I ask: Why is NYCHA dodging accountability? Why is a public agency partnering with private entities that mistreat and intimidate tenants?

The Web of Financial Exploitation

RAD/PACT is not about tenant well-being—it’s about profit.

  • Private developers collect rent but shift financial risks onto tenants.
  • Banks profit by financing these conversions.
  • NYCHA escapes responsibility by handing off oversight to third-party managers.

This is not housing policy—it is economic exploitation.

The Mental and Emotional Toll on Residents

By neglecting tenants and creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, NYCHA is waging psychological warfare.

  • Families live in constant fear of eviction, misinformation, and retaliation.
  • Senior citizens are being forced to navigate complex legal documents under duress.
  • Community cohesion is being intentionally fractured, making resistance harder.

This is oppression, and we refuse to be silent.

Our Demands

  1. End harassment and coercion immediately. No more forced lease signings. No more lockouts. No more intimidation.
  2. Fix the maintenance system. Stop closing tickets without repairs. Create an independent tracking system.
  3. Audit all RAD/PACT contracts. Make it public who is profiting from these deals.
  4. Restore full tenant protections. No misleading ballots, no forced conversions.
  5. Hold NYCHA accountable. This is public housing, and you work for us.

Final Words

NYCHA, the public is watching. The federal government is watching. History will remember.

We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated. And we will not allow you to sell off our communities without a fight.

The era of unchecked privatization is over. We are standing up—and we will not back down.

Thank you.

Thank you for the opportunity to be heard.

My name is Dr. Kesha Crawford, and I stand before you not only as a long-time resident of Stuyvesant Gardens but as the duly elected Resident Management Corporation (RMC) Chair. Today, I speak on behalf of the residents who have endured years of neglect, deception, and now direct retaliation by RAD PACT and NYCHA. I have been threatened, lied upon, and retaliated against simply for exercising my rights, advocating for my community, and demanding transparency, accountability, and fairness.

I moved into Stuyvesant Gardens with the hope of providing my family with a stable home. Instead, for decades, I—along with my neighbors—have suffered through deplorable living conditions. The lack of insulation, malfunctioning radiators that spew steam, and the bathroom vents that have never worked have led to chronic mold infestations in our closets and bathrooms. Leaks from above are routinely patched up without addressing the root cause, allowing moisture to fester, attracting roaches and mice that scurry through our walls.

When we ask about the future of our development, we are met with silence, half-truths, or outright misinformation. I was personally approached by individuals pushing RAD PACT’s agenda, asking me what I wanted. My answer was simple: accountability. Instead of a meaningful response, I was told I should simply be happy with a “nice apartment” and accept whatever is handed to me. That is unacceptable.

Residents are being harassed, intimidated, and told that they must sign documents without being given full and honest disclosures. We have seniors in Stuyvesant Gardens II who were told that their heat would not be turned back on unless they signed new leases. Where is the morality in that? Where is the legal justification? Where is the oversight?

We have submitted multiple requests for reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and those requests have been ignored or denied without cause. This is a clear violation of federal law under 24 CFR, 42 U.S.C., and NYC Human Rights Law. The “My NYCHA” system is riddled with conflicts of interest, and maintenance tickets are regularly closed without resolution, allowing these hazardous conditions to persist.

Beyond the deteriorating conditions, we are witnessing a coordinated effort to silence and coerce residents into compliance. We have reports of tenants being told that if they do not open their doors, their locks will be drilled open. Let me ask you this: Is this what transparency looks like?

Why is RAD PACT threatening residents to force them into conversion? Who benefits from this scheme? Certainly not the residents. Instead, NYCHA dodges accountability, developers profit, financial institutions rake in the rewards, and tenants are left in the dark—confused, misinformed, and struggling with the mental and emotional toll of this manufactured chaos.

Enough is enough. The residents of Stuyvesant Gardens have passed a binding resolution rejecting RAD PACT’s coercion and fraud. We have asserted our rights and will take judicial, legislative, and watchdog measures to prevent the conversion of our development.

This letter serves as a formal cease and desist demand to NYCHA and all associated entities. If the harassment, intimidation, and fraudulent tactics do not immediately cease within seven business days, we will:

  1. File formal complaints with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the NYC Comptroller, the NY Attorney General, and federal watchdog agencies.
  2. Pursue legal action against NYCHA and all involved parties for violations of federal housing laws, ADA non-compliance, and tenant harassment.
  3. Petition legislators to conduct oversight hearings into NYCHA’s mismanagement and misconduct under RAD PACT.
  4. Mobilize media coverage and expose the corruption, intimidation, and coercion being imposed on tenants.

We will not be forced into conversion against our will.

Other developments were given the right to choose their future—why is that right being stripped from us? We demand a moratorium on RAD PACT conversions until a full, transparent investigation is conducted, and we demand an independent oversight body that does not have direct conflicts of interest with NYCHA or private developers.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Stuyvesant Gardens matters. Our voices matter. Our rights matter.

NYCHA, RAD PACT, and all involved parties—you have seven days to correct your course. If not, we will escalate every legal, legislative, and public action available to us. We refuse to be ignored, and we refuse to be silenced.

Respectfully,
Dr. Kesha Crawford
Resident Management Corporation Chair
Stuyvesant Gardens

Here is the revised version with Dr. Kesha Crawford as the new RMC chair, asserting her rights and addressing the threats, retaliation, and misinformation by RAD PACT:

✔ Use Section 504 & ADA to halt conversions that fail to meet accessibility standards.

This is How “THEY” Prey on All our EGOs!!!

Unveiling Obscure Illusions That Prey on the Fragile Ego

Below are 10 lesser-known, deeply ingrained illusions that manipulate the ego and suppress potential. Each is dissected with vivid descriptions, examples, and self-talk patterns that subtly influence us at a subconscious level.

1. The Illusion of Scarcity: “I Need to Compete for Resources”

Description:
This illusion convinces us that there’s not enough—whether it’s love, money, opportunities, or recognition. It feeds a survival mentality, encouraging envy and rivalry rather than collaboration.

Example:
A coworker receives praise for their work, and instead of celebrating their success, you feel anxious, thinking it diminishes your own value.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If someone else gets it, I’ll have less.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Journal moments where abundance in one area led to abundance in others.
  • Practice affirmations: “There is enough for everyone, including me.”

2. The Illusion of Linear Progress: “Life Should Unfold Step by Step”

Description:
Society reinforces the belief that success must follow a predetermined path: school, job, marriage, retirement. This illusion traps people in conformity and guilt when their life doesn’t follow this “logical” order.

Example:
You feel like a failure because you’re not married by 30 or haven’t reached a career milestone “on time.”

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“I’m behind everyone else.”

Practical Reflection:

  • List three times when an unexpected detour brought better outcomes than you’d planned.
  • Affirm: “My path is unique and unfolds perfectly for me.”

3. The Illusion of Hyper-Individualism: “I Must Do It All Alone”

Description:
This belief idolizes independence and scorns asking for help, tricking people into isolation and burnout. It subtly devalues collaboration and community support.

Example:
You hesitate to ask for help at work, thinking it makes you look incompetent, even as the workload overwhelms you.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If I can’t do it alone, I’m not good enough.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Reflect on times when teamwork produced better outcomes than solo efforts.
  • Affirm: “Collaboration strengthens me and my goals.”

4. The Illusion of Control: “I Can Predict and Prevent Every Problem”

Description:
This illusion traps people in overthinking and micromanaging, reinforcing anxiety when things don’t go as planned.

Example:
You plan every detail of a vacation, but one unexpected event ruins your mood because it disrupts your sense of control.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If I don’t anticipate everything, I’ll fail.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Practice mindfulness by embracing spontaneity in small ways (e.g., choosing a random restaurant).
  • Affirm: “Uncertainty allows life to surprise me with new possibilities.”

5. The Illusion of Absolute Certainty: “Belief Equals Truth”

Description:
Many people cling to their beliefs as the ultimate truth, dismissing differing perspectives. This illusion limits intellectual and spiritual growth.

Example:
You avoid conversations with people who challenge your worldview, labeling them as “wrong” or “ignorant.”

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“My beliefs define who I am.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Engage in conversations with someone whose perspective differs from yours.
  • Affirm: “I grow by being open to new truths.”

6. The Illusion of Effort Equals Worth: “If I Work Harder, I’ll Be More Valuable”

Description:
This illusion glorifies overwork and burnout as badges of honor while subtly tying self-worth to productivity.

Example:
You feel guilty for resting or taking a break because it feels like you’re not contributing.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If I’m not working, I’m useless.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Schedule regular “unproductive” time and notice how it boosts creativity.
  • Affirm: “My worth is not tied to my productivity.”

7. The Illusion of Perfection: “I Must Appear Flawless to Be Accepted”

Description:
This illusion tricks people into prioritizing appearances over authenticity, fostering fear of vulnerability.

Example:
You avoid sharing your struggles with friends, fearing they’ll see you as weak or incapable.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If people see my flaws, they won’t respect me.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Share one vulnerability with a trusted person and note how they respond.
  • Affirm: “Authenticity builds deeper connections than perfection ever could.”

8. The Illusion of Permanence: “What I Have Now Will Always Be This Way”

Description:
This illusion leads to fear of loss or resistance to change, making people cling to the familiar even when it no longer serves them.

Example:
You stay in a toxic relationship because the idea of change feels scarier than the current discomfort.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If I let this go, I’ll lose everything.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Reflect on past changes that improved your life, even if they seemed daunting at first.
  • Affirm: “Life’s fluid nature brings renewal and growth.”

9. The Illusion of External Validation: “Others Must Approve of Me”

Description:
This illusion makes people overly reliant on external praise, leaving them vulnerable to manipulation or disappointment.

Example:
You post on social media and feel anxious when you don’t get “enough” likes or comments.

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“If people don’t approve of me, I’m failing.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Spend a day without seeking external validation (e.g., no social media). Note how it affects your mood.
  • Affirm: “My worth is not defined by others’ opinions.”

10. The Illusion of Fixed Identity: “I Am Who I’ve Always Been”

Description:
This illusion keeps people stuck in old patterns, believing they cannot change or evolve beyond their past.

Example:
You avoid pursuing a new passion because you think, “That’s not who I am.”

Subconscious Self-Talk:
“I can’t change because this is just who I am.”

Practical Reflection:

  • Experiment with an activity or skill that challenges your current self-concept.
  • Affirm: “I am constantly evolving and expanding.”

Integrating the Strategies into Self-Reflection and Epiphanies

  • Meditative Introspection: Dedicate time each day to identify where these illusions are influencing your choices.
  • Mirror Affirmations: Speak affirmations aloud while looking into your own eyes to reinforce belief shifts.
  • Storytelling Practice: Share personal moments of recognizing and dismantling these illusions to inspire others.
  • Daily Epiphany Journaling: Record small insights and breakthroughs to track your growth over time.

But the truth is ancient history tells us that there are 5 core areas that one needs to be consciously working to overcome. The five hindrances that can obstruct one’s path to rapidly gaining true success, enlightenment and being able to live our best most meaningful life are the key to becoming successful.

These 5 hindrances include:

Sensory Desire: The attachment to sensory pleasures such as food, sex, and material possessions.


Ill-Will: The presence of anger, hatred, or resentment towards oneself or others.


Sloth and Torpor: The state of being lazy, drowsy, or sluggish, which can lead to apathy and lack of motivation.


Restlessness and Worry: The inability to focus and constant agitation of the mind, often leading to anxiety and stress.


Doubt: The uncertainty and skepticism that can hinder one’s progress towards enlightenment and personal growth.

Here is how these 5 hindrances can often impact our thoughts beliefs and actions.

Negative Self-Talk: The constant self-criticism and negative self-talk can prevent one from being self-aware and hinder their progress towards personal growth.

Fear: Fear of failure, rejection, or the unknown can prevent one from taking risks and pursuing their goals.

Lack of Self-Acceptance: The inability to accept oneself and one’s flaws can prevent one from acknowledging their areas of improvement and making progress towards self-awareness.

Ego: An inflated sense of self and an obsession with one’s image can prevent one from acknowledging their mistakes and areas of improvement.

Lack of Boundaries: Difficulty setting and enforcing boundaries with oneself and others can prevent one from understanding their needs and limitations.

Resistance to Change: The reluctance to change and embrace new experiences can prevent one from growing and becoming more self-aware.

Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: The reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance abuse, avoidance, or denial can prevent one from facing their emotions and developing self-awareness.

Perfectionism: The obsession with perfection and the fear of making mistakes can prevent one from acknowledging their imperfections and areas of improvement.

Lack of Self-Care: The neglect of one’s physical and emotional needs can prevent one from being fully present and self-aware.

Lack of Authenticity: The inability to be true to oneself and one’s values can prevent one from developing a clear sense of self and self-awareness.

Lack of Purpose: The lack of clarity on one’s purpose and values can prevent one from setting meaningful goals and pursuing them with intention.

Distractions: The constant distractions of modern life such as social media, technology, and material possessions can prevent one from being present and developing self-awareness.

These barriers can be overcome by practicing self-reflection, mindfulness, and self-compassion. By acknowledging these barriers and taking steps towards overcoming them, one can become more self-aware and achieve personal growth.


To overcome these hindrances, the world’s greatest minds recommend the following: techniques:



Mindfulness: Developing a mindful awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings, and sensations can help to identify the hindrances as they arise, allowing one to consciously choose how to respond.


Meditation: Regular meditation practice can help to cultivate a sense of inner peace, clarity, and focus, which can counteract the hindrances of restlessness and worry, and sloth and torpor.


Gratitude: Cultivating a sense of gratitude for the present moment and what one has in life can help to counteract the hindrance of sensory desire and ill-will.


Self-reflection: Reflecting on one’s own thoughts and behaviors can help to identify and address the hindrances of doubt and ill-will.


Service: Engaging in acts of service and kindness towards others can help to cultivate a sense of compassion and selflessness, which can counteract the hindrances of sensory desire and ill-will.


Through consistent practice of these techniques, one can overcome the hindrances that can obstruct one’s path to enlightenment and a meaningful life.

QPIE Toolkit – Illusion Dissolver Matrix

Here’s a Quantum Intention Fact Sheet and Illusion Dissolver Matrix tailored to align with our QPIE (Quantum Perspective Is Everything) framework and your focus on dismantling destructive intent. This sheet aims to guide users in recognizing and reframing false narratives, harmful conditioning, and negative influences while empowering them to cultivate a deeper connection to truth, purpose, and positive social impact.

Quantum Intention Fact Sheet: Identifying and Dismantling Destructive Narratives

Core Principles

  1. Quantum Awareness: Recognize that reality is subjective and influenced by perspective. Shifting focus changes the observed outcome.
  2. Resonance over Reaction: Evaluate emotional and energetic resonance before reacting to any situation.
  3. Paradoxical Duality: Embrace that opposing forces coexist; dismantling falsehood often requires understanding its perceived “truth.”
  4. Super Synchronicity: Look for patterns that guide you toward higher truth—events often align with intentionality.

Illusion Dissolver Matrix of Truth

Illusion/False NarrativeIndicatorsQuantum Truth/ResolutionReframing Question
“You Are Not Enough”Self-doubt, comparison, reliance on external validation.You are inherently whole, and your value is not defined by external metrics.“What parts of myself am I disowning, and how can I honor them?”
“Scarcity is Reality”Fear of lack, hoarding, or overworking.Abundance exists in infinite forms; scarcity is a mental construct.“What resources, talents, or connections am I overlooking?”
“You Must Conform to Succeed”Anxiety about standing out, suppressing individuality.True success emerges from authenticity and alignment with personal purpose.“What aspects of my individuality can I leverage to serve others?”
“Success Requires Sacrifice of Joy”Workaholism, neglecting relationships, burnout.Sustainable success integrates joy and balance, enhancing creativity and productivity.“How can I make this process more joyful and sustainable?”
“Fear Keeps You Safe”Over-caution, resistance to change, limiting beliefs.Fear highlights areas for growth, but action beyond fear leads to expansion.“What would I do if I were not afraid, and what small step can I take?”
“Power is External”Seeking control over others, dependence on titles or wealth.True power stems from inner alignment and mastery over your own mindset and emotions.“What internal strength can I cultivate to feel empowered now?”
“Change is Dangerous”Clinging to familiarity, avoiding risks.Change is the precursor to growth and innovation.“What opportunities lie on the other side of this change?”
“You Are Alone in Your Struggles”Isolation, shame, reluctance to seek help.Connection is universal; shared struggles can create profound solidarity.“Who can I share my experience with to foster connection and healing?”
“Judgment Defines Worth”Avoiding vulnerability, obsessing over others’ opinions.Worth is intrinsic; judgment reflects the perspective of the observer, not the truth of the observed.“Whose opinion am I giving power to, and why does it matter to me?”
“Control is the Only Path to Peace”Micromanaging, resistance to uncertainty.Letting go creates space for flow and synchronicity, leading to peace and clarity.“How can I trust the process and release the need for control?”

In-the-Trenches Cheat Sheet

  1. Pause and Scan for Triggers: When faced with discomfort, pause to identify the illusion or false belief being activated.
    • Self-Talk: “Is this a fact, or is it a story I’ve been told or am telling myself?”
  2. Anchor in Present Truth: Return to the present moment using grounding techniques.
    • Example: 5-4-3-2-1 Method (Identify 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste).
  3. Reframe the Narrative: Replace the false belief with a higher truth.
    • Example: If the illusion is “I’m unworthy,” the reframe could be, “My worth is inherent, and I choose to honor it.”
  4. Integrate Quantum Thinking: Use QPIE principles to shift perspective.
    • Ask: “What new possibilities can I observe if I choose a higher perspective right now?”
  5. Engage in Dialogue: Share your insights with a trusted friend, coach, or journal to deepen understanding and dissolve illusions.
