It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people weβve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
Today, we honor Harriet Tubman β abolitionist, Underground Railroad conductor, and Civil War scout. Born into slavery, she freed herself and led countless others to freedom, shaping the course of American history.
Her courage reminds us that women have always been leaders in the fight for justice. ποΈ
#HarrietTubman
To the x bots bashing my poem for its format to avoid the relevancy of its content: the verse shape is inspired by Minneapolis itself. Stop griping over the structure of a poem and funnel that critical energy towards the federal agents executing American citizens.
Five years ago I mustered up enough courage to put pen to paper and write about a Black from Alabama with ancestral hoodoo magick who goes to a magical HBCU.
First it was a TV script, and it was rejected by so many networks and studios and TV writing jobs. Then I decided to turn it into a book series and it hit the NYT bestsellers list. Appeared on national television and now weβre working on a TV adaptation.
Rejection is not only protection. Itβs re-direction as well.
