I have been 99% off Twitter after Elon Musks takeover, but I’m sharing this opinion piece I wrote for @NCRonline because it’s very important to me. I’m honored they gave me the space to share my sentiments as a marginalized Black, Catholic, women in America.
We invited @AlessandraH17, a Black Catholic woman, to write about the U.S. electing Donald Trump as president for a second term: devastated — but not surprised https://t.co/Vz9qt9HqJ7 via @NCRonline

Thank you to @KatieCScott for allowing me and other Black Catholic women to express our opinions on Kamala Harris for President.
Black voters, and especially Black women, long have been the Democrats' most steadfast voting bloc and could be crucial to determining the outcome of this year's presidential election. @KatieCScott reports.

It’s NFP Week, and im Glad that @USCatholic published our journey with NFP/contraception story and how the Catholic Church needs to grow in cultural competence of Black Catholics. 👇🏾👇🏾
if the Catholic Church hopes to successfully advocate for NFP, Catholic medical practitioners will have to grow in cultural competence; they need to understand the complex medical backgrounds of all Catholic parishioners, writes @menny_thoughts. https://t.co/pnvzdyQKsG

Please don’t say this is not who “we are” in America with more guns than people and more mass shootings than any other country in the world.

Thank you to @matt_k007 for this review. As Catholics, we need to reflect and repent for the role our Church has played from slavery until now to foster anti-Black racism and oppression.
