Thank you, Senator Cory Booker, for reminding not just Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson but many Black women that we are seen, we are heard, and we are worthy.
Black Joy Is An Act Of Resistance
For 2022 choose your peace. Find your joy. As Black people, we must put boundaries around our joyful moments and protect them at any cost. Do not continue to allow this world to rob you of your joy.

It requires that you wake up every day and say, “Today, I will seek out joy. Today I will refuse to let racism rob me of my joy.”

Let me tell you the truth. Facing you is never easy.

Conversations Between A Black Woman & A White Woman In A Nation Pretending Not To See Color
A few days ago on Facebook, I was tagged in a post by Rani Whitehead. Her post is below, and I have copied it in its entirety. I believe this conversation was more significant than me responding to her on Facebook and I wanted to share it with my readers so they can see two women have a conversation about race.
This Is How Black Sisterhood Is Done!
It was with such joy that I scrolled through Twitter this morning, to find a video of a young man that walked into KFC, thinking he is going to tell off a young woman who he alleges wrote her telephone number on a receipt and gave to his […]
Many Resisters Don’t Want Change; They Want to Get Back to Brunch
Throughout history, photographs have captured the emotion and message of movements or pivotal times in history.
