Because my team be waaaay more organized than me 😂 I wanna thank yall for all the love and support and encouragement … I been getting texts and phone calls and all the things and I am grateful for each of you who took the time! I am really excited about the next era of leadership at @blackfutureslab and @black2thefutureaction and I’m not going far… I’ll be stepping into a Strategic Advisor role and joining the Board of Directors…and my badass colleague Kristin Powell will take the helm as the new Principal! Lemme tell you she is EVERYTHING plus some, and we love to see more Black women leading in abundance — rather than in crisis. You gon hear from us very soon and if you don’t know her yet, you will soon! Moving to JPB was not an easy decision for me to make, but I’m confident that it’s the right one, given the conditions that we are facing, and what we are up against. We need a movement that is strong enough and resourced enough to make big moves and win big wins. Some people make moves from their gig because they’re tired, or because there’s drama, or for a host of other reasons that involve rest. But for me, I’m more energized and more clear than ever before. I ain’t tired, ain’t no drama, we just over here doing work and ready to handle business! And the truth is — we need some clarity around the parts where the money is moving. So if you ready, I’m ready too. Feet on the ground, head in the sky, eyes on the prize. We got some winning to do!
Life life-ing and proof of life. And yes, that’s a squirrel that had to be taken out of my attic. So tiny yet a whole entire terror. If I was gonna assign a theme here it would be ancestors. The dead homies been helping me through.

There aren’t really enough words to express how I feel about my sister @lateefahforcongress running to represent us in Congress. I feel like I been tryna explain to some of y’all that when you’re from a place like I’m from where people know YOU and not just what you do there’s really nothing that’s gonna stand in your way because your people GOT YOU. We got my sis back so hard because she is us and we are her. Before she was Lateefah for Congress she was sis. We watched her babies grow up and we held each other through our hardest times and helped each other climb and fought alongside each other and sometimes each other shit if I’m keeping it real but we frfr FAMILY in a different kind of way. So to see my sis spread her wings all I could think about was sis — we always been each others wind and that ain’t gon stop now. She belongs to us and we belong to her, no fukin question. Rise sis. We got you, we believe in you, and we will fight for you and about you so jus saying don’t even worry bout it. Victory IS assured. From Fillmore to Oakland to DC and back again — we got you. I love you sissy. LETS FUKIN GOOOOOOOOO #LateefahForCongress

I love it when my friends do cool and amazing things, and this is something I’m particularly excited about … which is my sister @joyannreid has a new book out soon called #MyrlieAndMedgar!! I got an awesome box in the mail today and I’m even more excited to dig in now!! Too often, the stories of everyday people who do extraordinary things are distorted in the annals of history. We make people who decide to do something about the things they can no longer live with something other than deeply human, with all of our flaws and contradictions and contributions re-written to serve the interests of the powerful. And then of course when a brilliant, kind, and visionary woman like Joy says I got something to say — I listen! Pre-order her book RIGHT NOW at your favorite Black bookstore.
