Giving flowers to someone who knows all about making Herstory. 🌺
As the first Black woman to lead the National LGBTQ Task Force, last year's #BlackandIconic Active Advocate honoree, Kierra Johnson, has spent decades reminding us that being a "queer southern mom" isn't a contradiction. It's a superpower. From Capitol Hill to community organizing, she's made sure liberation has room for us ALL. 🙌🏾
Don't miss this year's honorees receive their flowers when #BlackandIconic streams on Paramount+.
John Mendoza Jr. had just completed his freshman year at Texas State University and returned home for the summer. Instead of celebrating his future, his family is now mourning his loss after he was fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy in his own garage. His loved ones deserve answers, and the public deserves transparency. My heart is with the Mendoza family as they seek truth, accountability, and justice.
Last night on #PoliticsNation, I spoke with Congressman Glenn Ivey about growing concerns over voter suppression, attacks on Black political power, and the importance of protecting the right to vote as we approach the midterm elections.
We discussed the recent federal raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, efforts to undermine voting rights, and why communities must remain vigilant, organized, and engaged. We also talked about government accountability, oversight, and the need to ensure our democracy works for all Americans.
Floyd Norman helped bring to life some of the most beloved films in American history, including Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, Toy Story 2, Mulan, and Monsters, Inc. Long before diversity became a point of focus in Hollywood, he was breaking barriers as Disney's first Black animator. Now, at 90 years old, he is receiving an honorary Oscar for a lifetime of achievement. This recognition is long overdue and well deserved. Congratulations to Floyd on a legacy that opened doors, inspired generations, and left an indelible mark on the world of animation.
