The problem isn’t race—it is racism. The issue isn’t race—it is racism. In order to get rid of racism we have to fully understand and embrace that no one person is alike. This diversity is what makes our communities strong, vibrant, and unique.
What is happening to Haitian people fleeing extremely dire conditions and seeking asylum in this nation is inhuman. Haitians are human beings. We must humanely process Haitian asylum seekers at our border.
1️⃣Educate yourself.

For us to get rid of racism we have to fully understand and embrace that no one person is alike. This diversity is what makes our communities strong, vibrant, and unique.

Elijah McClain was a young man with a bright future. His death was no accident. The officers who harmed Elijan were placed on temporary leave, however are back in the field with no charges. #JusticeForElijahMcClain

Racism is discrimination or prejudice against someone based on their race. Anyone can be racist, and anyone can experience racism. It’s a privilege to be able to learn about racism instead of experiencing it first hand.
Systematic racism will not be defeated overnight. However, we need to chip away at this issue each and every day. This requires all of us learning to have patience and understanding with one another. Stop, listen, reflect, learn, and understand. #EverybodyVsRacism

Black women are continuously shifting the narrative on what it means to be a "strong Black woman". To be strong is to thrive, and not suffer. There is strength in putting yourself first. Especially in these systems that do not serve us. Thank you @naomiosaka and @Simone_Biles.
Yes there is a difference between CBD and THC…but it’s funny how the media can glamorize one component from THE SAME PLANT. Sha’Carri gets disqualified but Rapinoe gets amplified.
A year ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis. As we celebrate the king of good trouble—his legacy of perseverance; his ability to find moments of joy and lightness in the midst of real struggle—we should also recommit ourselves to building the future he envisioned.
John Lewis taught us that when we see something that is not right, not just, not fair, we have to do something. He taught us not to lose hope—that this is the struggle of many lifetimes. He taught us to get in #GoodTrouble.
One year already. We miss you.
