Another year. Thank you for the Birthday wishes today, I’ve felt immense love from everyone. Funny how isolation can bring people together. My Birthday wish? Intention⚡️ Spend your money on small owned BIPOC businesses. Spend your time checking in on loved ones. Show up when it’s difficult or unfavorable to have a voice. This next year is gonna be glass half-full. Because I choose it to be. Excited to see where the year will take me 💫

There are many women, especially those of color, who are awaiting justice. Women are still fighting for full respect & autonomy over their bodies, and the last thing needed is additional judgement & criticism. These are just 4 of them: #pınargültekin is the reason #Womensupportinggwomen is trending. Pinar Gülteken was a 27 year old Turkish woman, and university student who was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend last week. This movement is to highlight violence towards women (146 Turkish women have been the victim of femicide in 2020), and the lack of action by the Turkish government to hold the men accountable for the crimes they commit and justify by blaming the victims (sound familiar?) #BreonnaTaylor, a nurse and friend to all, was murdered over 200 days ago, and her killers have not been arrested. Her name has stopped trending. #justiceforBreonnaTaylor #VanessaGuillen was a U.S. army soldier harassed, abused and eventually murdered during her service. She served our country and our country ignored her cries for help. Her murderer(s) are still free. #justiceforVanessaGuillen #ZephiTrevino was arrested at age 14 in connection with the murder of an adult man who raped her. He was murdered by her adult sex trafficker who forced her into sex acts that she agreed to out of fear for her life. She is in juvenile detention being coerced to take a plea deal. #FreeZephi #endchildtrafficking (copy borrowed from @francescacorzo @vanessalchester) ANDDDDD I’m taking up all 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 space 👏🏽 today 👏🏽 IT’S NATIONAL VOTE BY MAIL DAY so text VOTER to 26797 to check your registration and request a mail-in-ballot so you can vote safely 👏🏽 #votebymailchallenge Oh yeah… #challengeaccepted 💫

Do you have a voice? Of course you do. Speak up. Proclaim your need for justice. Proclaim your support for our Black brothers and sisters who have been systematically oppressed since they first stepped on this stolen land. I have had enough. I am an Afro-Latinx, hailing Brazilian African roots and so I feel generational oppression in my bones. I’m so sorry. Frankly making noise is the only way to be heard because decades of peaceful protests and kneeling at football games and giving poignant speeches during awards aren’t jarring enough to cause change. I believe in love and unity. The political unrest that is happening are to shake up change SO WE DO NOT CONTINUE THIS WAY. The time to stand up for justice is now. The time to change the broken system is now. The time to speak is now. #georgefloyd #blacklivesmatter #nojusticenopeace #blm #afrolatinx

She Se Puede Vote is a vote to make my younger self proud. The girl who probably spilled juice on this pretty dress, ready to make you laugh, and always stood up for the underdog. I vote so every young girl grows up to be a woman that can make choices about her own body. Love who they love. Protect all vulnerable persons. Finally achieve equality. My younger self was a dreamer, she gives me HOPE. I won’t let her down. 🗳✨ #SheSePuedeVote #NationalVoterRegistrationDay @she_sepuede
