BREAKING: I just signed the bill to extend postpartum coverage for Wisconsin moms from a lousy 60 days to one full year after giving birth.
I promised I'd never stop fighting to make sure moms and babies had the postpartum care they need, and today, I delivered on that promise.
Black woman, this is your reminder. Hear this and hold it close. You are beautiful. You are perfectly imperfect. You are already enough. You don’t have to be everything for everybody or save the world to be worthy. Move with love. Move with faith. Move knowing you are THAT GIRL!
This one is for the sis. Always. 🫶🏾 #BET #WomensHistoryMonth
Kiki Shepard, the beloved co-host of Showtime at the Apollo, has passed away at 74.
In the 1980's at a time where women of color were rarely centered on television she stood as a symbol of elegance, glam, excellence, and cultural pride.
A Howard University graduate who finished in the top 10% of her class and a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Shepard carried the legacy of Black excellence with her wherever she went.
Kiki Shepard leaves behind a legacy that is both timeless and deeply felt.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.
We need her to drop this YESTERDAY 😩🙌🏾
@TEYANATAYLOR did her own rendition of @SadeOfficial's classic “Cherish The Day” and it’s sounding phenomenal ❤️🔥

Belva Davis, the FIRST Black woman TV reporter on the West Coast, has passed at 92. A true barrier breaker, she was often asked to leave press events — just for being a Black woman. Yet she rose, earning Emmys and national respect. Rest in Power to a legend.
Black men make up less than 1.6% of all teachers in America… but at Charles R. Drew High School, they are seen EVERYWHERE! He got to dap up, hug, and shake hands with over 30 Black male educators!
(Thank you Kings! 🙏🏾)

He’s teaching kids medical terms through song using the alphabet! It’s never too early for them to learn. One of my kids showed an interest in medicine at 10yrs old and is now working in this field.

Our softness, elegance, class and charm is something that’s rarely highlighted. Instead, the focus is any and everything that’s negative. But we know better. Black women are beautiful. And they hate to admit it.

@betplus@SistasOnBET Were the editors not available for Season 8 Episode 21? I could barely hear the actors and continuous music playing. #SistasOnBET
