I've been thinking a lot about the importance of representation. I put some of those thoughts into this piece.

Surprised, but not surprised to read this about Hooters. Happy that the EEOC saw enough evidence of wrong doing to sue. Disgusting.

[The Onyx Truth @the_onyxtruth]

Should we talk about it? Absolutely! We don't shy away from any topic at The Onyx Truth, especially if it's relevant to our community.

Hooters has been profiling Black people for years now. This is nothing new.

Shout out to @Dove who is once again showing the business world how to use their platforms to bring awareness and affect change.

It is, in fact, possible for businesses to do well and do good.

Being Black is not a crime! Thank God this talented young man survived. As @GayleKing mentions at the end, so often that is not the case. Let the foolery begin. How is shooting someone in the head NOT attempted murder???

Ralph Yarl's mother Cleo Nagbe shares the extent of her teenage son's injuries, after he was shot by a homeowner last week, in her first interview since the incident: “He got a couple of bullets inside his body, instead of a couple of twins coming out and giving him a hug."

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
–Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As someone who is often told to speak more, I really appreciate the perspective of @realdanlyons because it mirrors mine. Listening is more powerful than talking. Sometimes, more often than we think, we need to STFU. Talk less, listen more. https://t.co/FTKvc0Nh09

Don't understand the weight these loans have on graduates? Wake up! Loan repayment, when you can afford it, means little or no money towards savings, toward vacations, items for the kids, out of pocket health care costs. Should I go on? Thank you @POTUS!

This is how you market to Black Men ..

These corporations should take note

Great nuggets in this piece by @LisaRossDC. "June 19th isn't an opportunity to sell; it should be an opportunity to solve.", replacing 'minority' with 'emerging majority'. Thank you Lisa! You may not be speaking for us all but you're representing me well!
