When you are feeling weary or despairing, remember that there are people in every corner of the world taking life affirming action in the direction of more justice. The fact that you can't see it all is a comfort because it means there is an excess of positive actions happening all at once. #onwards

What if transformation isn’t loud, but slow—like stars folding into themselves? Gravity of Becoming explores the silent pull of change, where every spiral inward is also a path outward.

Popping in for a minute to say that it really sucks that the murder bill passed Congress and ALSO to thank every single person who tried to stop the bill from passing. What you did matters. Finally, I wrote a few words: open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu... - I hope they might offer some encouragement.
People are in motion, everywhere.

Juneteenth is not a brand. It's a legacy of resistance and self-determination. As corporate sponsors pull back from supporting Juneteenth events, Black communities continue to show that we don’t need outside approval or funding to honor our freedom.

Every ounce of effort that I have put into my life, and my music, has been about Black liberation. I also stand in solidarity with all marginalized communities and I fight for more intersectionality in my own community, the hiphop community. That will never change no matter what lies they tell.
