As #PrideMonth closes, we want to shine a light on Jabari Lyles, @itsjabarii. Though their impactful career cannot be conveyed in a caption, a highlight was serving as director and senior advisor of LGBTQ affairs for the Baltimore Mayor’s Office for three administrations! #Pride

I'm hearing a lot about @BaltCitySchools doing school building renovations. Anyone doing any work to ensure these new floorplans include gender-neutral restrooms for students AND staff? Baby changing/nursing/pumping areas for students and staff? Just wonderinggggg

Feeling helpless? Looking for ways to advance the working class? Start learning to organize!

Organizing begins with one-on-one conversations. It's the core of union drives, tenant organizing, electoral campaigns, and every other expression of working class solidarity!

@ThisIsTheRead Just finished this episode. There’s only one thing I love more than @ThisIsTheRead, and that’s the health and happiness of @KidFury. I’ll choose that any day over this podcast. Sending so much love and respect to you.

[Jabari Lyles @itsjabarii]

@designeducated Yay, just donated! Are you open to having another youth who doesn’t have a group to march with, march with you and the gsa? 😊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

[Harris Waltuck They/Them @designeducated]

Folks, can you help me spread the word? I want to help my GSA raise $800 to print shirts and flags for all the students and parents who march with us in Baltimore Pride on June 25th. All sponsors $50 and up will be listed on our parade banner 💖❤️🧡💛💚💙🖤🤍🤎💜

[Jabari Lyles @itsjabarii]

@billmaher Horrible take. Wow. I used to enjoy (mostly) your show. I usually thought I could depend on a researched perspective from you. This is lazy and dangerous.

@designeducated connecting you with the organizers now 🙂🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

@Kinzie_Kinz @ThisIsTheRead I came here for this 🙌🏾🙏🏿

[Jabari Lyles @itsjabarii]

@FOXBaltimore this story sounds a little sus to me 🧐

[Jabari Lyles @itsjabarii]

I can’t stop listening to @ThisIsTheRead. It’s taken over my car radio time, shower tunes and now my dinner/dishes background show. And for the record, I also thought the mom was kissing the actual (“fake”) Santa Claus and not the daddy 🤷🏾 @KidFury @crissles

[Jabari Lyles @itsjabarii]

The CDC recommends that even if you are not ready for the day, it cannot always be night! 🤷🏾

[Jabari Lyles @itsjabarii]

If you can, give yourself an opportunity to rest and experience some bit of joy today, as much as you can and as long as you can. A favorite playlist, a favorite shirt, a favorite snack, a candle, a nap. They want to exhaust us. Show up rested.

[Omaha Community Foundation @omahafoundation]

During a launch party, the community got to meet & celebrate the second cohort of @huespringleader, a leadership institute to support the professional development of #LGBTQIA+ identified individuals from the Omaha area & Midwest region. @itsjabarii was the keynote speaker.
