In my thirty-five years in the Foreign Service across the world, I put a Cajun spin on it. I call it Gumbo diplomacy.

Wherever I was posted, I’d invite people of all walks then make homemade gumbo. Thats how you break down barriers, connect, and see each-other as humans.

July 4th is the celebration of America's independence from the unjust rule of Britain. This year, more than any other time in recent history is a reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears lost by so many for the inalienable rights still not fully afforded to all of us.

🚨BREAKING🚨
The House just passed the #DCStatehood bill (#HR51), marking the first time since the creation of the District of Columbia 219 years ago that either chamber of Congress has passed a bill to grant statehood to D.C. residents and, with it, equal citizenship.

On the heels of the #GeorgeFloyd murder, the House of Representatives has passed a sweeping police reform bill that is aimed at reforming the culture of law enforcement.  #justiceinpolicing

We have faced incredible setbacks. But through it all, we push ahead because we remember where we came from. We believe that the world can be better - It will be better. We believe in a better tomorrow. #Juneteenth
