At my funeral, I want people to say, "She fought like hell for people she didn't know. She fought for dignity for everyone. She fought against injustice and tried to minimize the suffering of others. She did it with a smile and a heart filled with love."

I work to make those words true everyday. ✊🏾🩷

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.
