Gwendolyn Brooks was the first Black American to win a Pulitzer Prize. She wrote poetry that captured the beauty and struggle of Black life without apology.
Rachel Hampton lost more than 53 pounds but her stomach would not go down. Then she fainted. An MRI revealed she had 23 fibroids so severe there was almost no uterine tissue left. She was told she would likely need a hysterectomy. She got a second opinion and fought for her uterus. Surgeons removed 21 fibroids and her uterus was preserved. Black women are more likely to develop fibroids at younger ages and experience more severe symptoms than other groups. If something feels wrong, please go get checked. The earlier you know the more options you have.
Colin Kaepernick and @yourrightscamp answered this family's call when they needed it most by helping fund an independent autopsy for Nolan Wells. Thank you, Colin for standing with this grieving family in their pursuit of answers. 🙏🏿 https://t.co/RMZBi5EaNn
Three years ago today, my beloved Aunt Christine, Dr. Christine King Farris, passed.
She was a brilliant educator, a woman of deep faith and grace, and a steady source of wisdom in our family. I miss her dearly and remain grateful for her love, her example, and the legacy she left through generations of students and all who knew her.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who noticed that, while even MILLI VANILLI bailed on trump's birthday, EVERYONE showed up for President Obama, including all the living Presidents, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Common, Eddie Vedder, Tom Hanks, Stephen Spielberg...
People showed up for the REAL ones.
Michael Steele: "This is a moment that can be about the country. And I think a lot of people are looking at it that way."🙏💪
We're not crying, you are.🥹
Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears.
This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤
"It has been an honor to be by your side."

What an AMAZING, beautiful speech by Michelle Obama, listing the challenges President Obama faced, and his incredible achievements.
I can't prove it, but I know when she mentioned "winning a Nobel Peace Prize," Barack and Hillary had a good laugh at envious trump.
I LOVE THIS SPEECH.🙏♥️🙏
