How does Qi'Ra keep such a mean poker face? Why did seeing the Falcon mean so much to Han? The same reason #KyloRen hates it?!? All, in (like) 12 parsecs! 😅😅😝😝 https://t.co/QOK9KpZbH0

My latest, on the senseless slayings of a father and son in this week's graduation mass shooting + the folly of our Lt. Gov. immediately defending gun owners and blaming the killings on gang violence. Sears parroting racist stereotypical tropes made a terrible situation worse.

"It was very difficult for me to reconcile the fact that I was already a licensed minister, who was pregnant as a result of a rape and the decisions that I had to make as a person of faith," from @WordsByWillis and @myVPM: https://t.co/D9V5I4CjRA

An important message from my oldest son David (for those who can't quite make out his sign):
"Be caring!"
"Let love overrule."
"Other cultures can join [together]."
"Love other people!"
"❤️ [Love with your heart]"
"Be nice!"

Today between meetings, my happy helpers watered the garden + grocery shopped with me. Working parents are still doing their best; give grace. @WillisThought

Rrv. Cora is a formidable woman of faith whose music transcends religion, race, class, and time. Her gospel music is fine art, that she says she channels through a higher power, influenced heavily by Black church culture. Watch her artistry in action tonight at 8 pm on VPM PBS.

[Samantha Willis @WordsByWillis]

.@SMZBC's modern-day service to its community reflects a long tradition of Black churches that have historically stepped up to meet the needs of Black people, long relegated to second-class citizenship in a nation that once enslaved them. Many thx @tyenel12, Rev. Butler & team!

Audrina (l) is a kindergarten teacher on the brink of burnout. Burnout precipitated history teacher Ryan's retirement after 18 yrs in the classroom. They share their views from the front lines of what they call Virginia's education crisis, tonight at 8 p.m. on @myVPM Focal Point.

[Samantha Willis @WordsByWillis]

It's a double header, y'all: WATCH my @myVPM Focal Point TV feature on Brown Grove tonight at 8pm + READ my report on the historic Black community, and why they feel a soon-coming, mammoth Wegmans distribution center continues a long pattern of industrial intrusion.

[Samantha Willis @WordsByWillis]

Yes yes y'all: @myVPM FOCAL POINT launches next Thurs, 2/24 at 8 pm! Debut show includes my feature on Brown Grove Baptist Church; it anchors a historic Black Hanover enclave that's now an environmental justice battleground. Show details + where to watch: https://t.co/ktvCThqmKn

Black and Latinx people are dying disproportionately from #COVID-19 in the Piedmont region; why have so few been vaccinated? Breaking it down in my latest, the first article in @vinegarhillmag's 5-week "Still Determined" series:
