My man told me I’m the love of his life and I just 🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰. He got me tracking my ovulation cycle and my fertile window and making a list of baby names. We’re entering year 5 together and I could not be happier.

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.

This man kept getting access to funding he was not qualified for. A Black entrepreneur would have been denied outright. He was also very rude and bullish to his Japanese suppliers. Again, white male privilege and entitlement. He was loose with the truth and a horrible manager.

Finished reading “Shoe Dog” by Nike founder Phil Knight. This was the 1st book selected for a Wharton alumni women’s book club I just joined. While I mostly enjoyed the book, Phil was extremely reckless in the early days of Nike, his white male privilege enabled him to get loan after loan…

This post is dripping with white privilege. In the words of Ta-Nehisi Coates “was silence not an option”? Because Black people have been ringing this alarm for quite a while.

The speed by which America collapsed into authoritarian rule is the most shocking thing. Faster than other contemporary cases. Faster than the alleged “dictator’s playbook” suggests. So fast we *shouldn’t* call it “competitive authoritarianism.” It may be worse than that.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
