I finished everything I was called to do. Not by ease, but by endurance. What tried to undo me didn’t win. The fire refined me instead. I laid down what wasn’t mine. I honored what remained. Still here. Still standing. Only now becoming. #HerDue

Faith without works is dead. Love without effort is, too. YOU CAN’T PLANT A SEED ONCE AND CALL IT A GARDEN FOREVER. Love, like faith, needs tending. Show up where love still lives. 🌱 #ThePresentPresent

A week ago, a week ago, I stood behind the sacred pulpit at Barber-Scotia College—the Home That Built Mary. There, I was humbled to receive the Presidential Service Award. In the beginning was—and is—faith! All who are forced to wander are not lost. #HomeThatBuiltMary #HerDue

Inside every woman is a little girl. When we police her edges, her voice, her power, we harden hearts & grow women who defend the cages that held them — freedom on the flyer, submission in the fine print — all while bowing to patriarchy at autocracy’s edge. #HerDue

Founder’s Day away from the Home That Mary Built—sowing into the Home That Built Mary. Standing where a young Mary McLeod once dreamed reminds me: Every founder was once a dreamer seeking believers. May we build boldly for those to follow. #BarberScotiaCollege #HailWildcats

Twenty years ago, Chalk’s Flight 101 fell into Government Cut. Lost were her grandfather & our cousin—clutched to his chest. Even so, she soars! Today I celebrate my good Bimini Saunders cousin: you were always enough. We are too proud. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
