An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

I don’t think I’ve seen such a widespread backlash against a product rollout like what we’re seeing right now with the Arby steak nuggets 😂😂😂😩😩😩. I’ve seen the product called “squirrel knuckles” and “Komodo dragon meat” and everyone saying they taste gross 0/10 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is a reminder to all black men.
Our life expectancy is 71.

71 means 35 is your midlife.

Get to being intentionally proactive about your health if you haven't been.

We deserve better but we must also be better.

My 2 cents that noone asked for.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

+ 1 to this. Lawrence’s growth was amazing to witness. My brotha came a long way from the Best Buy blue shirt gang.

Insecure ended perfectly….the character development for Issa and Lawrence lead them back to each other…. People grow apart grow and then somehow find each other back with each other …. Life happens

I really thought her and Nathan were gonna make it. Just did a rewatch and appreciated the series that much more.

Whether we liked the ending or not….. we probably won’t get another Black Rom Com show like this for a long long long time again

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

He treated Nike employee # 1 Jeff Johnson horribly. If I was Jeff, we would’ve needed to throw hands a few times because the disrespect was just beyond. I admire his tenacity and dedication to his vision but he really was not / is not a good guy.
