Tyler Perry is paying for Nolan Wells funeral & Colin Kaepernick is funding an Independent autopsy 🥹🙏🏾
He disappeared during a 4th of July trip with his friends to Horn Island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Unpopular opinion: Schools should extremely reduce the use of chrome books nd return to paper and pencil being the main use...there is a connection between writing and how the brain learns.
I sit quietly and realize that God has been taking care of me this whole time. Maybe not in luxurious ways. Maybe not an easy life. But through protection,provision, good health, surviving hard days and always having just enough to keep going.
Imagine.
You went to DC to hear your leader, Trump, give a speech on the 250th Anniversary of independence for White Americans.
Only to have your fascist festival cancelled due to the ancestors sending weather that replicates hell.
AND THEN the *only* shelter available…is in the National African American History Museum.
Surrounded by the truth, you continue to deny.
Turn away from your sins, fam.
The Ancestors don’t play about us.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
Today, I took my children, Imad and Adam, along with my sister’s children—Elaine, Maher, and Ahmed—to the sea in Gaza. 🌊❤️
For a few hours, we forgot the heat inside the tent. We forgot the sounds of war and let the children laugh the way every child deserves to laugh.
I swam with them, looked at their smiling faces, and prayed that one day they would have a normal childhood—without fear, displacement, or war.
We may not be able to change our reality today, but we are trying to create beautiful memories for our children in the midst of all this pain.
These small moments are what give us the strength to keep going. 💙🍉
