Today, I’m reminded of that feeling. My hope is that every immigrant child who’s seen their family struggle or be mistreated wakes up with a renewed sense of hope and ownership. You belong here. You are part of this story. And yes this is your country too.

When Obama won in 2008, I cried my parents cried, our whole community cried. It wasn’t about partisanship; it was about belonging. It was the first time so many of us saw our reflection in leadership and believed the impossible was within reach.

If you’re not investing in, organizing and engaging Black voters- you don’t stand a chance
After all was said and done, Zohran’s best racial group ended up being…Black voters

Last week We hosted a curated dinner party with 30 Black Business leaders of all ages. We discussed capitalism and community. The role Black Business leaders can play in the modern movement! This is the first of a year long monthly series of dinner parties and luncheons.

Last month I led a political education call with over 300 Attendees. Followed by a speech in Rural TN with over 300 attendees. Don’t let people tell you hope is lost! People are still hopeful and looking to us for answers! Don’t stop pushing

As Black women, we’re often expected to carry everything on our backs.This isn’t about Kamala. It’s about us! it’s about how Black women always vote with everyone in mind. Even when it’s to our detriment. Trump won- celebrate that instead of consistently trying your invalidate us

This image says: We did our best, you disregarded our leadership, you overlooked our ideas, you refused to align with us…so don’t expect us to save you again.’ It’s not about the Black family but about saving non-Black people, it’s about standing up for things that stand on us.
Whoever AI generated this believes that black women hate their men and children so much that they’d rather watch the world burn down than fight to protect their family 🤦🏾♀️ What’s your interpretation of this?

The …well it could be worse statements are offensive and a slap in the face to anyone who spends their life organizing !

Why is it that whenever someone criticizes the Democratic Party, it’s immediately treated as an endorsement of Trump or third party voting?That’s comical.If over 80% of Black people vote for a party, you better believe we have every right to hold that party extremely accountable!

What does The Democratic Party and Mike Tyson have in common? This should be most of their last fight
The path forward for the Democratic Party cannot include those who architected not having a primary, a House loss, a Senate loss, a White House loss, and the first popular vote loss for the first time in 20 years. The path forward must be getting corporate and dark money out.
