When it comes to anti-racism reform, I'm beginning to believe no real actionable items are taken place. Just a lot of data collection with no follow-up.

@avay my heart is overwhelmed with joy! As I watched the last episode of Queen Sugar with a few tears on my eyes, I cannot help but feel you and the other directors accomplish delivering the black family experience from every angle. I salute you and say "Well done!"

@Navient I only got a 30 day forbearance for my account & was told you're waiting to hear from the Biden administration to know if your loans will be covered under the student loan relief plan. Whether your loans fall under the Federal Dept. of Education or not, we need relief!

[Rod Garrett @GarrettNCT]

@POTUS I hope the student loan debt relief is applicable to Navient loans. I called Navient on last Friday and was only able to get a 30 day forbearance. Navient couldn't even tell me the F.D.I.C they fall under. Interesting...
