Birthday reflections tonight.
Spent the day at EPCOT, dinner in Morocco, fireworks about shared humanity.
February 12 is Lincoln’s birthday & the founding of the NAACP.
Rest isn’t weakness. It’s sustainability.
Back to the work tomorrow. 💛

Slavery wasn’t a contradiction of America’s founding.
It was written into law, protected by institutions, and enforced by violence.
The system was designed. So was the resistance.

Sugar didn’t create brutality.
Europe chose it.
The Caribbean plantation system was designed to consume human life, short lifespans, constant replacement, violence as routine.
Black history is accountability, not abstraction.

African kingdoms resisted for centuries.
When they couldn’t be conquered, Europe changed tactics, and legalized extraction.
This is where the paper trail of enslavement begins.

Africa was governed, defended, and resistant, for centuries.
Colonization came later, when force failed, and law took over.

For centuries, African power kept Europe at the coast, until guns, railways, and quinine changed the equation.

This isn't literally about conversion. It’s about how new religions entered Africa, how they were used, reshaped, and resisted, and why African philosophy never disappeared.

Black History Month - From Origins to Organization:
This history is about restoring context. When we see African societies as they were; organized, innovative, and deeply human; it becomes impossible to accept modern inequality as natural or deserved. #blackhistory

We'll hit topics like the Black Lives Matters Movement, Millon-Man March, the Civil Rights Movement, Post-Reconstruction, Reconstruction Era, Enslavement, Pre-Colonization & African History, these are the truths that all need to be told. We're happy for help along the way too! We cant do this alone!

#Exposethegap was staying warm today, inside, wrapped up with the #dogs, working on our personalized digital experience that’s we’re putting on all our shirts. Did we mention we’re natural Floridians and have no clue what is going on right now. (We know it’s climate change, it’s just so weird) #cold

Remembrance isn’t passive.
It demands we speak early, protect each other, and refuse comfort built on someone else’s suffering.
If silence helped build the past, it won’t save us now.
