This Juneteenth, I was grateful to join Black leaders from across NC to discuss how we can move our state forward.
I’m thankful for the resilient, determined leadership I’m seeing here and across the country.
@RearTodd I'm so sorry.There are no words I can offer. I had a fur friend for 24 years. All I know is that sweet soul who loved me would want me to give another a safe haven such as he had. Time.
@KwikWarren Made me tear up watching @BarackObama soak in his accomplishments as a man, father, husband and the greatest President of my life. All praise from the love of his life! @MichelleObama your speech knocked it out of the park. A true First Lady.
❤️A child and a donkey together. The world holds nothing sweeter. When my final day comes, let me be watching my grandchild like this, and I will close my eyes softly.
@GuntherEaglett@FLOTUS Will you EVER show some self worth? What an empty example of women of 2026. Not because of Trump,but because of you and your non participation. Such off spring are so doomed with parents such as this.
On my way home this afternoon, I spotted an elderly white woman lying on the sidewalk at the corner of Peoria and 49th Street, while a young Asian woman was trying to talk to her.
I quickly turned around and parked in the Burger Street parking lot just as another car arrived. I got out of my car at the same time as a young Black man.
We both checked her condition and saw that she had fallen backwards while using a walker, hitting her head on the concrete.
I said I would call for help, and the young Black man went to his car to get a soft jacket and gently placed it under her head to protect her from the scorching heat of the pavement (it was 38°C today). Soon, other kind people arrived.
A young white woman took an umbrella from her car to protect the woman's face from the sun, while another brought towels to place under her bare arms.
A young Hispanic employee from Burger Street came out with a bucket of fresh water and a cloth for her forehead.
Together—Black, White, Asian, and Hispanic—we all worked to help an elderly white woman who had fallen. This is the America I believe in and love: an America filled with compassion, kindness, and love, regardless of race, age, or gender
