I wish white people from companies and institutions would stop saying the way they are going to help more BIPOC is by asking their BIPOC employees daily “how can I help?” It’s not about you being the white knight.

This year marks 100 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment. While it was an important step for some women, it’s equally important to note it excluded women of color.

I know I sound old saying this, but I miss reading articles in a newspaper where you could tell where the story started, continued and finished. Between all the ads, related articles, imagery and unnecessary nonsense, it’s enough to make your head explode. #kitchensink.
