@Shangwe2014 Congratulations! I know that is no easy feat, especially when you are your own subject.

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

@authordeshazier Of course! Keep up your work.

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

@bevysmith Congrats! That would be amazing and actually perfect timing. I would be in NYC by October. Would your book also be out by the time of the seminar?

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

@bevysmith The "Redefining Happiness" piece if you in Essence's September issue is so real and empowering. I needed it. I would love to learn from you how you made your way into your current career roles, which are a bit similar ones to where I want to work to find myself.

My 4 year old upon seeing Meghan Markle’s mother: “Mommy, the Queen is so beautiful!” Me: “Yes. Yes, she is.” She never once noticed any other Queen in the room. My work here is done.

@prosperitynow Between 1934 and 1968, 98% of government-backed loans were given to White households - an almost complete shutout for Black families. The FHA is designed to stop this biased lending. #FHA50 #FHAAct

That is a very great point and with rent drastically increasing across the country many families are having a tough time keeping up. https://t.co/VpxoM7Xp3O

.@LebaronSims wrote a strong piece on the harm that policymakers continue to produce when not properly considering the ways in which their policies impact the working poor. https://t.co/5f558BoTyV #ProsperityNowScorecard

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

One of the BIGGEST MYTHS that even the #President of this country believes. It is false beliefs like these that harm low-to-moderate income families who are an important part of the success of this country. #ProsperityNowScorecard https://t.co/3eTUXo6mEw

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

These myths are keeping low-to-moderate families from receiving the support from policymakers that will make a significant difference in our country. https://t.co/DVuNZ2AmH7

One of my favorite passages from the 2018 #ProsperityNowScorecard report:

"A person's decision to own an iPhone isn't trapping them in poverty. Neither is a person's decision to own a car or have air conditioning in their home.

[Vanna Cure @Vanna_the_Cure]

"We often tout education as a way to lift families out of poverty, but the trade-off is costly." -@solanarice #ProsperityNowScorecard

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

Of course student #debt is a massive amount of debt for American families, especially families of color. #prosperitynowscorecard

[Shaakirah Medford @MedfordSays]

Continue to stay tuned within 2018 for more data on how African American families are being impacted by #debt in this country. #prosperitynowscorecard
