We can’t remove external problems at will, but in terms of our inner world we can develop tolerance, forgiveness and contentment. If we have developed peace of mind, we can remain calm no matter what happens in the outside world.
“We’re so afraid of saying the wrong thing that we stay silent.” @ElaineWelteroth was EVERYTHING!! Thank you for reminding us to speak our truths, come into our power and claim space 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

If I walked into Congress wearing a sack, they would laugh & take a picture of my backside.
If I walk in with my best sale-rack clothes, they laugh & take a picture of my backside.
Dark hates light - that’s why you tune it out.
Shine bright & keep it pushing.✨
Congratulations to pediatrician @DrBurkeHarris, California’s 1st-ever Surgeon General! She's a passionate advocate for children's health, leading the charge on screening #ACEs - Adverse Childhood Experiences - that can lead to #ToxicStress in kids. https://t.co/99UEPfhVtj
Interesting white paper about What Women Want in the Workplace. Organizations with a higher % of women scored higher on job satisfaction, organizational dedication, burnout, & employee engagement. https://t.co/c3iD3sCyNS
No words to describe the empowerment I felt watching “Time for Ilhan.” To see a Somali Muslim who spent 4 years in a refugee camp defy all odds & elevate to this level truly gives me hope for this country, for people of color, for women. Thank you @IlhanMN 💜 @HowWomenLeadNat
“We are the ‘they’ we used to criticize” -@IlhanMN Such an amazing human being and well deserved recognition at the @HowWomenLeadNat Spotlight Awards tonight!
23 years ago, from a refugee camp in Kenya, my father and I arrived at an airport in Washington DC.
Today, we return to that same airport on the eve of my swearing in as the first Somali-American in Congress.
