I'm a Southern-born health care lobbyist, plant mom, docu film and music lover, and football fan. I root for the underdogs!#strongertogether

Also, I just called 311 and wasn’t able to get through. Not surprised. DC services are zero for 3 this week. Sigh. 🫤

@DCDPW - This week, my trash was not collected on the Mon or Th scheduled dates. The recycling was picked up but not my trash. Over the last year or two, trash collection lapses have become more common. What’s the problem?. #DC @maustermuhle @PoPville @charlesallen #DCwardsix

This is a typical black middle-class neighborhood in the Atlanta area. This is not AI. The black middle-class is invisible in the US because we are boring. We’re not depicted in movies, TV shows, etc. because parents work everyday, attend youth sports event, go to church, etc.

Virginia Ali co-opened Ben's Chili Bowl at 24 years old. She drove her kids to school in the morning, worked the counter starting at 11, picked them up in the afternoon & then went back to Ben's. At 92, we are blessed that she is still here with us & greeting guests most days.

I’m not legal scholar, but recall that journalists & activists are protected under the first amendment. Both rep protected speech. I just heard a person on CNN questioning Don Lemon agenda and if his actions are protected. No words. #FreeDonLemon #iceprotests

@isuckatwife @maustermuhle Thank you!!!

[Sonya C @Sonyers]

@MayorBowser No. There aren’t concrete conditions. I walked around yesterday and it was somewhat slushy. Please get outside and see for yourself.

[Sonya C @Sonyers]

@therealjquest @MayorBowser That part.

@BombshellCole @PinketteXO Facts!

Not enjoying the Eagles play calling. I need to see Hurts throw the ball more. #eaglesvChiefs

I love living in DC but hate the traffic. Bc of that, I tend to stay in my neighborhood and don’t venture to the burbs to run errands as much as I’d. I don’t see how people on the burbs deal with DMV/95 traffic everyday! #DC #DMV #traff

[Sonya C @Sonyers]

@JewishLives23 @WonderKing82 @mwolfers Exactly!

@tdeluca80 @tweetelissa The streetcar did not transform H Street. It was a total waste of money.

[Sonya C @Sonyers]

@tweetelissa The streetcar was never a wise choice. It cost far more than buses, travels to fewer places, and doesn’t serve much purpose. I wish this city would be better stewards of DC’s money.

Ice Cube is out here telling people not to vote again.

While he sits in his million dollar mansion and Black folks in the south are getting kicked off their Medicaid.

@mistergeezy What the hell!? People have no respect these days.

[Sonya C @Sonyers]

@lifeofni14 @Sandra____M @jemelehill Do you realize a majority of Blk ppl live in the South? I’m an advocate for attending HBCUs, but we aren’t foreign to the southern culture.
