A precious gift. Love you @ishenarobinson <3
....dreamed about a world where more Black people—far-flung and separated across the globe by history as we are—could connect like we did, an American girl, an Eritrean woman and a girl from the Caribbean.
Karen Lewis was one of a kind. I looked up to her when I was a HS student as she was one of the teachers who truly cared and was always brave enough to be herself. She had a great influence on me. I only wish I got to thank her. May her soul Rest In Peace.
Jane and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Karen Lewis. She lived her life on the front line of the struggle for justice in education, and to honor her memory we must recommit ourselves to building the fairer future students and families deserve.
This year has been a TOUGH year to say the very least. But one of the highlights happened yesterday! Winning 2020 @WHAS11 star performer of the 4th quarter! 😭🥺 Thankful to my talented team members, and to be a part of the best newsroom in Louisville 💫
I want to speak directly to the Black women in our country. Thank you. You are too often overlooked, and yet are asked time and again to step up and be the backbone of our democracy. We could not have done this without you.
America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
The voters have spoken, and they have chosen @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to be our next president and vice president.
It's a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together.
Kenneth Walker, Breonna Taylor's boyfriend just voted. "I voted because Breonna Taylor couldn’t and you should too."
The #BreonnaTaylor Foundation has collaborated with several local groups to "Get out the Vote" and take their protest to the polls @WHAS11#Election2020
This is #BreonnaTaylor’s yearbook photo when she was a senior at Western High School. This morning @JCPSKY educators are sharing memories of the 26-year-old.

I can’t count how many times I’ve had to hold my tongue or ‘choose my battles’ as a woman of color in all kinds of spaces. My favorite quote that keeps me going: “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” 🎯
"She was just like me. She was just like you."
#BreonnaTaylor is on the cover of O, The Oprah Magazine.
It is the first time the cover does not feature Oprah, who dedicated the issue to Taylor and "every other Black woman whose life was taken too soon."
This is an important read. Thank you for writing this @ishenarobinson.

Linda Sarsour, one of the lead organizers from @UntilFreedom was among the 87 people arrested at yesterday's #BreonnaTaylor demonstration. We caught up with her after she was released. She says Louisville should expect to see them again. "We are not intimidated by felony charges"
DERBY BOYCOTT: #BreonnaTaylor’s family is calling on celebs, activists and community members to boycott this year’s #Kentucky Derby until justice is served. “Let’s put our money into our community and not Kentucky’s pockets”
