Flowin, a conference to celebrate @FJasmineG was divine -- and of course, filled with music and spirit

It is such a reflection of the scourge of #racism in this country that many of the same people (some sports commentators included) who criticized & ostracized #Kaepernick for #protesting racism are now awfully quiet about #BrettFavre’s alleged involvement in a #welfare #scheme.

capitalism does not budget in time for grief, joy, rest, or community but I’m determined to make space for what I deserve.

When RJ is under attack, Black women, girls, & femmes fight back! Throughout the summer @GGENYC organized direct actions and medic trainings in collaboration w/ @BlkDirectAction !

[#TeenWritersProject @teenwritersproj]

@BlkGrlFreedom A6: How the #TeenWritersProject teen leadership developed programming, lead meetings, managed our social media, and published The #TWP Quarterly with minimal to no assistance from the executive team of adults! THAT'S power! #1Billion4BlackGirls

When Roe v Wade was overturned, @GGENYC published an op ed on the importance of Black girls & gender expansive youth being centered in RJ movements and what young ppl have been asking for in RJ spaces. https://t.co/SQGwctrQ7U

[Cidra Maria @cidramaria]

@FatBlackLuxury @BlkGrlFreedom That’s right! There’s no liberation without Black girls, femmes and gender expansive youth.

[thee taurus tyrant. ✨🇯🇲🍸 @FatBlackLuxury]

That they are exactly who they should be - they’re unique & deserve space to share their unique brilliance w. the world. Black girls & gender expansive youth are all that makes this world good. There’s no creativity, no movements, and no liberation w.o you. #1Billion4BlackGirls

[#TeenWritersProject @teenwritersproj]

@BlkGrlFreedom A3: girls of color need to know that people who look like them can be and are philanthropic. Knowing this can give them hope that they can benefit from philanthropy and someday become a philanthropist! #1Billion4BlackGirls
