In her latest vlog, Olandria stopped by a school in Nigeria to meet with students, encouraging them to prioritize education and chase their dreams — while also giving out school bags and letting the students draw on her dress!

"People think that when we talk about...being Pro Black and what not, it means...being anti white. The only reason why they think that is because being pro white has always meant being anti Black. It's not the same thing."
“Our achievements should never, ever, top our relationship with Christ.” - Jonathan Mensah

🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE agents were caught on video assaulting a local chaplain for filming, and asking questions, about what was happening on her own street… AFTER the arrest was already made.
In the video, Alley Henny, a Black chaplain, is standing with her back against a parked car while recording.
An ICE agent is already pushing her backward as she simply asks:
“What did he do?”
But here’s what makes this situation even more disturbing…
The man had already been detained… He was already INSIDE the ICE vehicle.
The arrest was over.
That means, there was no active arrest taking place for her to “interfere with.”
Yet, multiple agents surrounded her anyway.
One agent yells, “Get back! We have a warrant for his arrest. Get out of here.”
She responds, “This is my neighborhood.”
The agent’s response?
“I don’t care.”
Then, while she’s already backed against a car, and surrounded by TWO agents… a THIRD agent rushes over, grabs her, and forcefully shoves her down the street while screaming, “GET BACK! I ALREADY TOLD YOU ONCE!”
And just to be clear…
She wasn’t stopping an arrest.
She wasn’t obstructing agents from reaching a suspect.
She wasn’t preventing agents from taking someone into custody.
The suspect was ALREADY IN THE VEHICLE.
So, this entire situation raises serious concerns about excessive force and retaliation against protected speech.
Because once the situation is already controlled, there’s no reason for that level of force against someone who’s just recording and asking questions.
And if that kind of response isn’t checked, and held accountable, it starts to send a very dangerous message…
That recording and questioning government actions can be met with physical violence, and intimidation.
And that’s exactly what the constitution is meant to prevent.
🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in.
When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from.
He told them he born in Laredo, Texas.
But that was not good enough.
The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?”
He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again.
The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it.
Being on a bike isn’t a crime.
You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not.
So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal.
And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses.
If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.
This picture of Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams comforting her son Darrell at his father’s funeral breaks my heart.
It is all too similar to photos I have seen of my mother and me at my father’s funeral. The same grief. The same violence. The same racism. The same ache of a child forced to grow up without a father and a wife forced to live without her husband.
Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers was assassinated after a life of courageous service for civil rights and voting rights. My prayers are with Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams, the Evers family, and all who continue to love and honor him.
