On the 2nd day of the General Assembly, here’s what I saw: Delegates debated three constitutional amendments, but spent most of their time on HJ1, which enshrines reproductive rights in the state constitution. Del.Taylor shed some tears as Del.Freitas graphically described an “abortion” #valeg

It was really really really really hard to pick the most memorable photos from this year. But here are 4 of 50 pictures from @vpm.org. The best part: collaborating with my talented colleagues on so many interesting stories. Thank you to all who made this year memorable. www.vpm.org/news/2024-12...

When I met Nikki Giovanni, in 2020. We talked about our names, our pasts, my grandfather (who had just passed), she saved my life and we made some pictures.

Thank you

May you rest in Peace.

On Wednesday, the Va House and Privilege Committee passed three proposed amendments to enshrining the rights for abortion, marriage equality, and voting rights. The full house will vote on them in January. Here are three moments (see more here: www.vpm.org/news/2024-11...)
