I caught up with Anjanette Young, who has a new exhibit at the DuSable Museum. It’s a collection of artwork representing not only her experience with the police but that of other Black women and girls.

Please pray for people working in the news. Not only are we combatting mis/disinformation, having to write and dissect the impacts of these orders, laws and whatever is draining! 😔

New by me: Woodruff exists in the tradition of Black liquor founders who experienced barriers to becoming the front person of alcoholic brands. The most notable being Nathan “Nearest” Green, the former enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel how to distill whiskey.
