I’m happy to share that I’ve started a new position as Director of Development at @Sheltering_Arms! I'm in my second week and loving it.

That said, it was a super difficult decision to leave @SidebySideClub after five amazing years, but I'll stay involved!

Almost 49% of the athletes at the Tokyo Olympics will be women, bringing the Games close to gender parity for the first time. While there is progress among competitors, gaffes by officials and the makeup of the overwhelmingly male IOC overshadow the gains. https://t.co/kPtknlXUHr

Tomorrow evening, we must remain calm and patient as we wait for election workers to do their job safely. After Georgians do our part by casting our ballots, it is time to trust the process and the people making our democracy work. #gapol

Happy New Year! Love the kid who'd dancing like no one's watching - in class!

WCK’s Keem is checking in from Marietta, Georgia next to the Cobb County early voting site! After seeing the incredibly long line today, Keem reached out to local restaurants who jumped in right away to get pizza & fresh tacos for the community! #ChefsForThePolls

So excited to restart as a volunteer for @newampaths!

Proud of Georgia State University for quickly responding to an awful, unprecedented situation.

2020! What a time! Inspired by @ReeseW @mindykaling @kerrywashington @HannahSimone

I knew after Huricane Maria that I respected @Lin_Manuel for his advocacy & philanthropy in #PuertoRico. Today, I'm sure I'll add to my admiration as I'm about to watch #Hamilton for the 1st time.

Why not honor him by supporting causes he ❤s?

With heavy hearts, we are announcing the nomination process for filling the Democratic nominee vacancy in Georgia’s 5th Congressional District. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our hero, Congressman John Lewis, and we take this legal responsibility very seriously. #gapol

[Alexis Torres @Alexis_L_Torres]

Thank you #johnlewis for teaching us the importance of getting in #goodtrouble, forgiveness and love.

Sometimes patience is rewarded: I planted scabiosa seeds in January - finally got my first two blooms! These deep purple gems are worth the wait.

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

59 years ago today I was released from Parchman Farm Penitentiary after being arrested in Jackson, MS for using a so-called "white" restroom during the Freedom Rides of 1961.

Every plant has their own requirements to grow. So do people.

@Lin_Manuel I'm waiting for the rest of the family. We are going to try to watch in the backyard. Make it an event!!!
