After years of living in denial due to the stigma associated with Sleep Apnea, I finally gave in and started using a CPAP and the results have been miraculous! I’m actually sleeping through the night and waking up feeling energized!

I’m torn but the last sentence in this article perfectly captures why Target’s decision hurts so much.

“Tamala Barksdale, managing partner at brand consultancy 360 Agency, said Target's move was "a break in trust" with its customers who believed in its efforts.”

Black-owned brands urge US consumers not to boycott Target over end of diversity efforts
Please don't boycott Target : That's the message from Black founders and influencers to consumers about a backlash against the retailer's decision to end its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

I know today is a difficult day for many, but let’s not lose sight of the dream Dr. Martin King Jr. gave his life for!

It doesn’t matter what’s going on where or who’s getting inaugurated. Today we honor and celebrate the legacy of Dr. King and that beautiful dream of an equal nation.

The final season of #whatwedointheshadows on @FX was one of the most batsh*t crazy (pun intended) things I’ve ever watched!

It’s like the writers were given a TON of LSD and then just told to write. LOL!

10 out of 10!!

Hats off to this photographer and to the Carter Center! #shade
Check out the Carter Center’s photo from the funeral this morning and who’s obscured.

This photographer needs a raise. 🤣
