Frankie Beverly & Maze is the closest thing to a sonic representation of what it FEELS like to be Black. It’s soulful, it’s emotional, it’s magical, it’s present. It’s joy. It’s pain. Sunshine & rain. We are truly one. Don’t know how else to explain it. May he rest in paradise🙏🏽

first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”

she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”

when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country

when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn

what is “reassurance”, in this place ?

rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

A Black woman in her own home called 911 due to a burglar in her home. This officer came in and shot her and refused for his partner to render aid to her. Say her name: Sonya Massey.

Don’t remain silent. Stand up for her and fight. This should not have happened…

Happy Earth Day!!!
I went from giving out a million bottles of water to providing the equivalent of over 138 million bottles of water with my filter without adding a single plastic bottle to the landfills.

I’m on a mission to raise $1M for my filter after working on this project for 5 years.

My goal by the end of April is to raise $20k, we are about 36% of the way to that goal.

Why am I over here crying like I know these women. I mean boohooing! This was for all of us. For the culture!!!!

Uncommon favor!!!!

[Mari Copeny @LittleMissFlint]

It's #WorldWaterDay!
America has a water crisis! I have spent half of my life screaming about the water in Flint and all around the US.
The last 5 years I've been trying to raise $1M on my filter project to bring immediate relief to those in need.

A Black couple in South Carolina was "speechless" after they walked outside to a burning cross facing their home

South Carolina remains one of two states without a hate crime law

Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.

More than 60% of the world’s cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.

Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.

Multinationals mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

So, they don't want anyone reading Black history books, or books written by the LGBTQ+ community, and they don't want you to express anti-war sentiment, and they treat diversity programs as discriminatory, and you're confused why our country is so divided. Mmm, okay.

[Joy 🐎 Priest @Dalai_Mama_]

What a violation of the long old heart of God in us. What a violation of the earth and the sky and the birds and the body. You have to be a soulless empty void of filled with fear to put that much fire, chemical, death, and destruction into the air, to create so many ghosts.
