This is not getting enough attention- please rt and share- CDC has completely purged any and all information re: HIV and STIs, including guidelines for pregnant women and children/there are many docs who have archived info and trying to put up an alternative site to provide education
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
Olympic Gold Medalist Sydney McLaughlin on her relationship with God:
“I credit all that I do to God. Regardless of what happens, He’s going to get the praise. Every time I step on the track I pray “let me be the vessel in which you’re glorified”… That’s why I do what I do.” 🙏
🥹🇨🇭 Roger Federer says he has a framed picture of Rafa and himself embracing each other during Laver Cup 2022:
“I have the picture at home, framed, in a space where I have some other images of my career. I don't want photos everywhere, so I have them in a specific area. And when I pass in front of this one, it always catches my attention because it reflects our camaraderie, our friendship and also the rivalry, all in a single image.
It is a moment in which we are both able to reflect on everything we had just experienced, remembering our career and how lucky we have been to be tennis players, to have been able to turn our hobby into a dream profession. That's what that photo means to me.
It was a great moment to hold his hand for a second, and basically, to show him my gratitude through that touch”

This is so horrifying and the reality of what Congolese people/children have to live through everyday because of western countries robbing their natural minerals. My heart goes out to these children who went to school to learn and are suffering instead.
