Two coworkers met in a restroom at work and started talking while washing their hands.

That simple conversation ended up saving two lives.

Tia Wimbush and Susan Ellis both worked in the IT department at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. At home, both women were carrying the same fear. Their husbands were suffering from kidney failure, and both men needed transplants.

Tia wanted to donate to her husband Rodney, but she was not a match.

Susan wanted to donate to her husband Lance, but she was not a match either.

Then, during that unexpected conversation, they discovered something incredible.

Tia’s blood type could help Susan’s husband.

Susan’s blood type could help Tia’s husband.

After medical testing, doctors confirmed it. Each woman was a compatible kidney donor for the other woman’s husband.

On March 19, 2021, the surgeries took place. Tia donated one of her kidneys to Lance, and Susan donated one of hers to Rodney.

Two wives, two husbands, two families, and one rare act of love that connected them forever.

What began as a normal workday conversation became a life-saving miracle.

@pace_power99 @FreedmenCulture There are so many roles for white actors that overseas actors taking their parts is cute to them.

The slice of the pie for quality roles for black actors is slim. So, unless the role is specifically for a non-native black person it would be felt if taken by them.

@ipeetears @susylicious2023 Your Mom bathing with you and your sister at that age is weird too. However, we all know who does the most sexual misconduct between men and women. So that is why alarm bells are sounding here.

@pace_power99 @FreedmenCulture In this clip you’re right. I guess I was responding to the larger diaspora argument of taking prominent roles of black Americans by people born and raised elsewhere.

@pace_power99 @FreedmenCulture Was it a British movie or a Hollywood one because therein lies the difference?

This photograph shows James Zwerg, a college student from Wisconsin, after he was bęaten by a mob in Alabama for participating in the Freedom Rides.

Following the beating, he lost consciousness and was left unattended for hours as white ambulance crews refused to assist him. He was eventually taken to the hospital by an ambulance designated for Bląck patients. The incident took place in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1961.

At the hospital, Zwerg simply stated, “Segręgation must be stopped. It must be broken down.”

He’s still alive today at the ripe age of 85.
This isn’t ancient history.

@John_Americani The chickens have come home to roost.

The people from the areas Western nations conquered and destroyed are going to seek a better life with the folks who caused their disenfranchisement.

@jasonwhitlock If she quit on her team that’s terrible. I hope it’s her back not her being a brat.

@mirrormerecos @AuthorMJClifton There was a time when the Top paid 90% taxes. That’s when the nation was able to build, improve and maintain its systems and infrastructure. Those provisions allowed for the common man to live better and provide more to their families in less.
