🗳️✊🏾 Honoring the 15th Amendment & the Fight for Voting Rights ✊🏾🗳️
This victory was a step toward racial equality, declaring that voting rights could not be denied based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Despite this progress, the Black vote was suppressed for generations.

I don't think prayer is a substitute for action, but it is powerful. We will gather on zoom at 11 am for just a few minutes in solidarity to pray for Michigan inmate Krystal Clark, who is undergoing major surgery as early as later this morning. Open to all people and beliefs.

The Open Mic was amazing. I received good feedback from my set, and there were about 35 people attending. There were a few regulars from the Open Mic I hosted pre-Covid, a handful of first-timers, and even a couple who traveled to come. 10 poets shared in all.

I'm glad that corporations didn't overdo it with their pinkaganda this year, but the breast cancer discussions seem a little quiet this year.
So here's your reminder.

I'm on the poetry stage a lot less these days, but when I do...I have a ball!
Shout out to Shutta Crum and Marilyn Churchill for sharing!
I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight! Like a regular baby, not my baby - because she never slept through the night🫤 Anyways, Goodnight!

Hiya. I always engage in social "listening" for a bit when I enter a new social space. I am also juggling dozens of projects so I tend to idle when on the phone, etc. THANK YOU for welcoming me so warmly!
