For those of us who had report cards that read “Talks too much,” Cory Booker is demonstrating in real time why our voices matter 💪🏾

I pray that this administration's rollbacks of diversity-related efforts in this country will increase the presence of historians, storytellers, and griots of the world.

May we boldly tell the truth so we can continue to learn and grow from one another.

This is going to be the blackest Black History Month ever!

That's my version of #FAFO

I wasn't alive during President Carter’s term, so I only have old videos and the testimonies of those who lived it to rely on. From what I've gathered, he truly embodied the characteristics of a good leader: he was personable, in tune, and progressive.

We listen and we don't judge:

Part of the reason I haven't started a substack (even after writing, successfully defending, and publishing my thesis) is that I still feel like my thoughts could be “wrong!” Perfectionism is a drug I hope to be rehabilitated from in 2025.

Y'all call every movie that connects the audience to ancestral or indigenous practices demonic, and it’s really starting to make me Kendrick Level mad. 🙄

Having my daughter cemented my need to enforce boundaries. Kids are more inclined to act based on what you do rather than what you say, and I never want to normalize going against one’s inner wisdom for fear of not being liked.

Kendrick Lamar is the epitome of “🗣🗣AND ANOTHA THING…” energy 🤣🤣

Somebody said Kendrick dropping an album the week before Black people gotta eat (communally) is diabolical 🤣🤣🤣

I love it! Lol, after Kamala & Mike, we needed this win

I've been getting tons of messages from white people & black men (specifically) on how best to support Black women this season. The answer is always, in my opinion, to offer them opportunities. Not just any opportunity, but ones that put good money in their pockets and will add value to their brand.

To my #writers/ #creatives who are looking for something to help them be more #creative, this record from #jonbatiste is amazing.

We're only halfway through Native American Heritage Month, so there's still plenty of time for you to read one of our many titles by and about indigenous people, including @sgj.bsky.social, @morgantalty.bsky.social, Joy Harjo, and Ned Blackhawk. Not that you shouldn't be doing that every month.
