One month into my #PaternityLeave, as grateful as I am that Adira's birth was smooth & Serena has been recovering well; this leave has been vital for our family.
With Olympia, watching my wife fight for her life, I realized not having paid leave was unconscionable. Sure, all my employees had it, but the vast majority of Americans don't — and that includes new moms (1 in 4 women in the US return to work within 2 weeks of childbirth).
If you know me, you know I don't like just talking, I believe in action.
I started this fight when Olympia was born because I realized how lucky I was and we took the fight to Congress and did get 12 weeks of parental leave for all federal employees (and recently including military!) — we have much more to do.
More to come.

🥕🥕🥕 fresh from the garden
Sekai Chipara from Mwenezi has started harvesting some of her carrots at Muwayawaya garden.
"I am glad we have water supply throughout the year, we are now able to produce our own food without waiting for food handouts. We are empowered."
This really is heartbreaking. Like I legit am so upset for him. ☹️☹️ i hope this pops up in Beyoncé’s camp somehow and even the smallest gesture could make his day. #RenaissanceWorldTour
