She wasn’t just the queen of American letters. She wrote America’s letters. And whether we realize it or not, all Americans and all writers are indebted to Toni Morrison. Sleep well. We are eternally grateful for you. We are eternally grateful for America’s letters.

In 1993, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first Black woman to receive the honor.

I love my #HBCU because no other college accepted me. My SAT score was 980 and my GPA was barely a 2.0. Morgan State University gave me a chance to improve as a learner. Here I am, 3 degrees post-high school, heading to get my first doctorate at Johns Hopkins, thanks to my HBCU.

It’s also sexually mature to inform your partners about STIs you’re living with so they can make a conscious and informed decision for their bodies. Living with an STI isn’t a death sentence for your sex life. Just requires more responsibility.

[Sexologist Tyomi Morgan, ACS @Glamazontyomi]

“But I trusted them” is the phrase often uttered after receiving STI results that are reactive/positive. TRUST YOURSELF FIRST! Test yourself first, and require the same of your partners. If you do this, you won’t be blindsided.

When we operate in our purpose, it's easier to cut out frivolous tasks.
When we're unclear, we'll do a million tasks because the work will make us feel productive.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Racism is not disagreement. It places Black children in a pipeline to prison, demonizes unarmed Black men for ‘being murdered,’ and cages Brown people who are seeking asylum. It is ecomic, systemic and power-hungry. It is beyond time to exorcise this demon out of America.

Too often we hear folks say they don't want to get tested because they don't want to know if their life is going to be over. But real talk: Life actually begins when you KNOW YOUR STATUS! Take the test, take control, know your status NOW! #DoingItMyWay #HIVTestingDay #NHTD
