Happy 100th Birthday to my Soror, the legendary late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm! A trailblazer who shattered barriers and made history with unapologetic strength and fierce love for the people.

Your legacy still inspires me to fight for justice, equality, and a better tomorrow.

Black history Fact : New York City 🌆

Wall St. is called that because it was an actual wall built by enslaved Black people to protect the Dutch colonizers of New Amsterdam from the British during the American Revolution.
