I’m a Black woman physician, scientist, scholar, movement builder, & mother.
I’m about to give birth.
While living with trauma, PTSD, & ancestral grief.
While the world burns.
Yet…I choose joy.
Giving birth now is revolutionary.
This is vitality.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.
As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.
