@MLNow Thank you, Mission Local! One clarification—I didn’t grow up in Russell City, my dad did. I did grow up going to the Russell City Reunion Picnics at Kennedy Park in Hayward. I look forward to joining Mimi Chakarova this morning to discuss the making of The Apology.

Happy Ketanji Brown Jackson Day 👸����

So many lessons from my friend @nhannahjones, this morning.

Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported.

Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance.

And, avoid spaces if they barely tolerate you, even if they’re familiar and beloved.

As I reflect on the past four years, I can't help but think of Congressman John Lewis' powerful words, "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.”

Can we all agree to lower our work performance expectations for AT LEAST the next 72 hrs? I promise to respond to your email just as soon as we know democracy is off of life support, and breathing on its own again.

#Voting is not about checking a box next to “Perfect.”

It is asking and answering:

“Which candidate, who we will still have to challenge on some issues, gives us the best opportunity to be on the path to a more just, humane, peaceful world?”

Let’s #vote.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It might be Labor Day weekend, but let’s all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It’ll save lives.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Hey, little girl.
You’re doing alright today.
You’ve come a long way.
Don’t stop.

This country runs on energy extracted from the lives of Black folks.

Well, America, you're not getting my energy this week.

... And that's on my great-grandfather.

The government must be prepared for the possibility of a natural disaster coinciding with this pandemic instead of waiting for it to bang down the door. The stakes are too high.

As a Black woman, the personal is political. My hair story is no exception. Sharing a very personal story today to create space for others:

“He was Mr. Oakland,” said Rev. Jayson Landeza, who knew Father Jay for 30 years and succeeded him as pastor at St. Benedict. “He had a real sense of the pulse of #EastOakland and particularly the African American religious community.” https://t.co/oeSJmSqh9y
