"#Creativity is a form of #intelligence that we still do not know how to measure!" Mark challenges me to look at this work in #creative development, #braincapital/health and '#justice for all' in a whole new way. Enjoy! https://t.co/4U3ba9HLBX @DoveSoars @BMeCommunity
We are proud of ourselves, FAM, and our partners for the work we all do in building a world where Black people, alongside all others, are defined by their aspirations and contributions, not by limitations or stereotypes. #BlackLOVEPledge
The @BMeCommunity brotherhood and all of our relationships will most definitely last a lifetime. No matter where we go in the world, we're able to reflect on how our bonds became stronger through this powerful network. It's always beautiful when you hear someone say Be Who? BMe!
While #Juneteenth means something different to everyone, the root is still the same. Our ancestors laid the foundation for Black L.O.V.E. and at BMe we will continue down the path until all Black people have the freedom to Live. Own. Vote. and Excel.
