Spelman College just made history — the Class of 2026 has seven valedictorians.
Seven brilliant, beautiful Black women standing at the top of their class. This is what excellence looks like when Black women are given the space to shine.
Huge congratulations to these trailblazers and the entire Spelman family. Y’all did that! 👏🏽👏🏽

Justin Fairfax murdered his wife Cerina in their home, then killed himself and left their kids to pick up the pieces.

As Black men, we need to be clear in moments like this: nothing is worth killing a Black woman. Nothing.

Pain is real. Divorce is real. Depression is real. Rage is real. But none of it justifies violence against a woman. Too many Black women carry the weight of loving men who haven’t healed. Too many children are left to pick up trauma they didn’t create.

A man who cannot control his anger is dangerous. And too often, the people closest to him pay the highest price.

We don’t want excuses when others kill us. We shouldn’t make excuses when Black men kill Black women either. Accountability must be consistent. Protection must be intentional. Healing must be a priority.

I grieve for Cerina, her children, and everyone who loved her.

And I want Black men to hear this plainly: If you harm a woman, that is not manhood. Get help before you become harm.
