Alicia Garza Instagram - I officially nominate @kendricklamar as the official diplomat for the Black nation. All in favor say aye!
Alicia Garza Instagram - #TyreNichols
Alicia Garza Instagram - YALLLLLLLLL … if you know anything about me you know I luurrrrrrve Sex and the City. I’ve seen every episode at least ten times and on a yearly basis I go back to episode one season one and marathon. And I live for the spin-off And Just Like That … so imagine my actual deep joy when a friend sent me this from this week’s episode (which I’ve been saving for this weekend so I could truly enjoy Aiden’s return)… achievement level UNLOCKED and shout out to the kind soul who put my book front and center 🫶🏾
Alicia Garza Instagram - Man…just four days after the end of women’s history month, here y’all go talkin that Miss Millie shit again. Why are we always telling Black women to shrink, to not be too loud, too confident, too good at what we do? Why are we always requiring grace from Black women? The goalposts are always being moved for Black women. ALWAYS. So I’m not even a big sports fan like that but lemme tell you what…@angelreese10… TALK YO SHIT SIS. And thank the good lord for every person who taught you how to love yourself knowing good and damn well that waiting for them to love you first will ALWAYS be a losing battle. I love the way you love yourself — and you ain’t too big, too bold, too brash, too hood for me. In fact, I want you to take up more space sis. You earned that shit! Don’t let NOBODY dim your light or diminish your accomplishments. Oh and ps — it ain’t always your responsibility to understand people’s “good intentions.” Let God do that. Just keep doing what YOU do cuz we see and appreciate you!
Alicia Garza Instagram - Last week a big chapter in my life closed — I signed my divorce papers. Two years ago, a little voice in my spirit got louder and louder and said — pursue your happiness, even if it hurts. I was scared but determined. My partner and I separated, and I moved across country. One year ago I filed for divorce. And almost exactly one year later, we signed the papers, back in the Town, where our life together began nearly 18 years prior. This last two years has been the hardest on record for me — but I have learned so much about myself. My biggest lesson? Don’t postpone joy. A friend told me today that everyone gets divorced in their 40s — almost like it’s a right of passage. My doctor today told me she has a similar story and she’s now friends with her ex husbands wife — who he started dating two months after they separated 🤷🏾‍♀️Another friend asked how one commemorates a milestone like this — do you go on vacation? Do you surrender to the streets? Do you turn up? Iono but I’m feeling like maybe it’s a combination of all those things. Don’t get me wrong — there’s still grief there. A grieving of who I knew myself to be and the ending of a relationship that meant a lot to me. We damn near grew up together. But there’s a freedom and a peace in choice, especially in choosing you. And I’m grateful to me for having the courage to do so, even though it was really hard and even though it hurt a lot. Since then I have grown, and parts of me have withered away. I have discovered myself in ways I wouldn’t have recognized then. I’ve learned that there is healing in sunsets and porches, tequila and talk therapy, workouts and walks, work and vacations, tears and (ahem) temporary encounters. I’m so grateful to my friends who really held me down — like the one who sent me these beautiful flowers today to remind me of how far I’ve come. It really wouldn’t have been possible without y’all. Thanks for holding me down, from near and from far.
Alicia Garza Instagram - There’s been so much nonsense in the news about what’s happening in the Bay — and don’t get me wrong, every place got problems. One day we gon talk about what happens to a city when you do massive giveaways to tech companies in the form of entire cities and ask for nothing in return for the people living there — but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation yet you just wanna talk about crime and violence and lawlessness. Who sucked all the resources from our sacred places for schools and housing and services? So instead of that convo I’ll just give you reason 4080 that Oakland is undefeated with this photo I took today by the lake. We really just don’t have any fuks to give #TownBiz #OaklandAgainstTheWorld
Alicia Garza Instagram - What I say? Y’all heaux could NEVER. @badgalriri YOU BETTA!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Alicia Garza Instagram - PERIODT
Alicia Garza Instagram - @brotherjones_ @justinjpearson we standing with you — we are all watching and we are standing with you. Tennessee…goddamn.
Alicia Garza Instagram - A national hero. Needed this bright spot today — really glad my friend @cecilerichards is getting her flowers, and, like the boss she is, she never asks for shit like this. This brought me to tears today, in the best way possible. Thank you @cecilerichards and congratulations— always inspired by you, and thank you for your tenacity.
Alicia Garza Instagram - Beautiful brave piece by my friend @brooke_baldwin on why she left @cnn … but this story is actually bigger than that, a story about women and work and the patriarchy. Brooke was one of the first people I ever talked to on TV — she was a gem in the industry, a real journalist with heart. Huddling with you Brooke — thank you for finding your voice and helping us all find ours too.
Alicia Garza Instagram - Every year on my birthday I had the same ritual…I would wake up to this photo from my dad with some note that said something about me still being a little shit 😂 and then my mom would text me “happy birthday baby girl!” and I would respond “thanks for giving birth to a legend!” This year I don’t have either of my parents to text me but I feel them here with me. 44 on the 4th — there’s gotta be something auspicious about that. Gonna celebrate with my besties and dance the night away. This year, my theme is “till the soil.” Putting my hands in the dirt literally and figuratively to see what we can grow together that cares for me, cares for us, and puts us back together again. All while keeping my nails cute, of course 🤷🏾‍♀️thanks to all who sent love today from near and far — we gon be alright, somehow, some way, someday 🫶🏾

Alicia Garza Instagram - The break I needed…between running an organization, taking care of my dad who is dying of pancreatic cancer, trying to remain hopeful and clear and hold the big picture while navigating a world that is heartbreakingly cruel and unjust, life has been a lot. A lot of days feel like one foot in front of the other but I was committed to getting on that plane. I’m glad I did. Barbados, you owe me absolutely nothing. Thank you for letting me soak up your sun, cleanse in your waters, and thank you for reminding me that always everywhere all the time there is joy and the infinite possibilities for freedom. Thank you to my most gracious host for creating space for me to breathe. Even your mosquitos were mostly kind.

Alicia Garza Instagram - 43 today and grateful. 43 doesn’t feel like such a big age, but I’m older than I am younger and when my mama was 43 she had a whole 16 year old on her hands and lord when I think about having a 16 year old at this tender age I thank you for protecting me from myself 😂 Every year on my birthday we had the same routine…she knew how much I loved my birthday and so she was always the first to call. “Happy birthday babygirl!” she would exclaim. And I would reply “Thank you for giving birth to a legend!” And she would laugh that sweet laugh. I would try to convince her to come out to whatever I was doing so that she could be celebrated. Most of the time she would oblige. I miss that woman so much… 2023 was an epic year. This was the year I really learned to embrace my no, and make room for my yes. There’s folks that were in my life this time last year that ain’t there this year and to be clear, I’m ok with that. Because the people that are here are world class. This year’s mantra is “wait for it…” cuz you betta believe we standing on business this year…been on that since I was 2 and if you don’t believe me check the photos. Y’all know I always come with receipts. If you have loved on me, kicked it with me, taught me, listened to me, sat in silence with me, porch karaoked with me, eaten with me, told somebody with a big mouth and a lot of hot air to fuck off in defense of me, handled business with me — I thank you. Y’all mean more to me than you will ever know. And as always, big thanks to my mama — mumsie, we just getting started. 🥰😘

Alicia Garza Instagram - I often think about what kind of leader I want to be when I’m 81 years old. This was an iconic moment for me — leadership across generations. I’m in a lot of reflection about how to keep listening to and learning from the generation coming up after mine. Congratulations to @rpcoalition on a historic leadership transition.

Alicia Garza Instagram - When I opened my eyes this morning, I awoke to the news that the amazing @cecilerichards passed away. My heart is broken — for her family, for our movement, and our country. There’s not enough words to describe who we’ve lost. Cecile taught me how to fight, how to walk talk and believe that we deserve it all. That women are the past present and future of this world. She was consistently raising the stakes and raising the bar. I was always glad to talk with her, collaborate with her, share a meal with her, discuss our mutual love of New Orleans and jazz, talk movement with her, have my eyes be opened by her, all of it. She was a legend in our midst and she never once fukin acted like it. Cecile your strength is an inspiration to us all. We gonna raise the bar in your honor — and on this shitty day where we lost you and gained an uncertain future, I’m clearer than ever about what we need to do. Thank you sister. You will absolutely be missed but I promise your legacy will never ever die.

I was always glad to talk with her, collaborate with her, share a meal with her, discuss our mutual love of New Orleans and jazz, talk movement with her, have my eyes be opened by her, all of it. She was a legend in our midst and she never once fukin acted like it. Cecile your strength is an inspiration to us all. We gonna raise the bar in your honor — and on this shitty day where we lost you and gained an uncertain future, I’m clearer than ever about what we need to do. Thank you sister. You will absolutely be missed but I promise your legacy will never ever die.
Alicia Garza Instagram - When I opened my eyes this morning, I awoke to the news that the amazing @cecilerichards passed away. My heart is broken — for her family, for our movement, and our country. There’s not enough words to describe who we’ve lost. Cecile taught me how to fight, how to walk talk and believe that we deserve it all. That women are the past present and future of this world. She was consistently raising the stakes and raising the bar.

Alicia Garza Instagram - This is a @badgalriri account and I am a proud member of the #Navy. Y’all heaux could NEVER. 

Carry on.
Alicia Garza Instagram - This year was big in so many ways. I lost my father this year. I left someone I cared about. I left the organization I founded. Friends drifted, sparks fizzled. And yet, with everything I left or lost, I found a new piece of myself waiting to be seen and loved and cared for. I found more of me, I welcomed her, and now, I’m getting to know her more. I risked. I triumphed. I cried. I fought. I’m winning, no matter what. 2024, you were not at all for the faint of heart. But I am my mother’s child and I will be of the last few who remain. My project 2025 is me — more love, more risks, walking away more in search of what is truly meant for me, what is searching for me, and what has been waiting all its life to find me — in this form, at this pace, at this time. Ready or not — here I come!

Alicia Garza - 7.8K Likes - Man…just four days after the end of women’s history month, here y’all go talkin that Miss Millie shit again. Why are we always telling Black women to shrink, to not be too loud, too confident, too good at what we do? Why are we always requiring grace from Black women? The goalposts are always being moved for Black women. ALWAYS. So I’m not even a big sports fan like that but lemme tell you what…@angelreese10… TALK YO SHIT SIS. And thank the good lord for every person who taught you how to love yourself knowing good and damn well that waiting for them to love you first will ALWAYS be a losing battle. I love the way you love yourself — and you ain’t too big, too bold, too brash, too hood for me. In fact, I want you to take up more space sis. You earned that shit! Don’t let NOBODY dim your light or diminish your accomplishments. Oh and ps — it ain’t always your responsibility to understand people’s “good intentions.” Let God do that. Just keep doing what YOU do cuz we see and appreciate you!

Alicia Garza - 4.7K Likes - Last week a big chapter in my life closed — I signed my divorce papers. Two years ago, a little voice in my spirit got louder and louder and said — pursue your happiness, even if it hurts. I was scared but determined. My partner and I separated, and I moved across country. One year ago I filed for divorce. And almost exactly one year later, we signed the papers, back in the Town, where our life together began nearly 18 years prior. This last two years has been the hardest on record for me — but I have learned so much about myself. My biggest lesson? Don’t postpone joy. A friend told me today that everyone gets divorced in their 40s — almost like it’s a right of passage. My doctor today told me she has a similar story and she’s now friends with her ex husbands wife — who he started dating two months after they separated 🤷🏾‍♀️Another friend asked how one commemorates a milestone like this — do you go on vacation? Do you surrender to the streets? Do you turn up? Iono but I’m feeling like maybe it’s a combination of all those things. Don’t get me wrong — there’s still grief there. A grieving of who I knew myself to be and the ending of a relationship that meant a lot to me. We damn near grew up together. But there’s a freedom and a peace in choice, especially in choosing you. And I’m grateful to me for having the courage to do so, even though it was really hard and even though it hurt a lot. Since then I have grown, and parts of me have withered away. I have discovered myself in ways I wouldn’t have recognized then. I’ve learned that there is healing in sunsets and porches, tequila and talk therapy, workouts and walks, work and vacations, tears and (ahem) temporary encounters. I’m so grateful to my friends who really held me down — like the one who sent me these beautiful flowers today to remind me of how far I’ve come. It really wouldn’t have been possible without y’all. Thanks for holding me down, from near and from far.

Alicia Garza - 4.3K Likes - There’s been so much nonsense in the news about what’s happening in the Bay — and don’t get me wrong, every place got problems. One day we gon talk about what happens to a city when you do massive giveaways to tech companies in the form of entire cities and ask for nothing in return for the people living there — but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation yet you just wanna talk about crime and violence and lawlessness. Who sucked all the resources from our sacred places for schools and housing and services? So instead of that convo I’ll just give you reason 4080 that Oakland is undefeated with this photo I took today by the lake. We really just don’t have any fuks to give #TownBiz #OaklandAgainstTheWorld

Brooke was one of the first people I ever talked to on TV — she was a gem in the industry, a real journalist with heart. Huddling with you Brooke — thank you for finding your voice and helping us all find ours too.

Gonna celebrate with my besties and dance the night away. This year, my theme is “till the soil.” Putting my hands in the dirt literally and figuratively to see what we can grow together that cares for me, cares for us, and puts us back together again. All while keeping my nails cute, of course 🤷🏾‍♀️thanks to all who sent love today from near and far — we gon be alright, somehow, some way, someday 🫶🏾

This year, my theme is “till the soil.” Putting my hands in the dirt literally and figuratively to see what we can grow together that cares for me, cares for us, and puts us back together again. All while keeping my nails cute, of course 🤷🏾‍♀️thanks to all who sent love today from near and far — we gon be alright, somehow, some way, someday 🫶🏾

Alicia Garza - 1.7K Likes - The break I needed…between running an organization, taking care of my dad who is dying of pancreatic cancer, trying to remain hopeful and clear and hold the big picture while navigating a world that is heartbreakingly cruel and unjust, life has been a lot. A lot of days feel like one foot in front of the other but I was committed to getting on that plane. I’m glad I did. Barbados, you owe me absolutely nothing. Thank you for letting me soak up your sun, cleanse in your waters, and thank you for reminding me that always everywhere all the time there is joy and the infinite possibilities for freedom. Thank you to my most gracious host for creating space for me to breathe. Even your mosquitos were mostly kind.

And I would reply “Thank you for giving birth to a legend!” And she would laugh that sweet laugh. I would try to convince her to come out to whatever I was doing so that she could be celebrated. Most of the time she would oblige. I miss that woman so much… 2023 was an epic year. This was the year I really learned to embrace my no, and make room for my yes. There’s folks that were in my life this time last year that ain’t there this year and to be clear, I’m ok with that. Because the people that are here are world class. This year’s mantra is “wait for it…” cuz you betta believe we standing on business this year…been on that since I was 2 and if you don’t believe me check the photos. Y’all know I always come with receipts. If you have loved on me, kicked it with me, taught me, listened to me, sat in silence with me, porch karaoked with me, eaten with me, told somebody with a big mouth and a lot of hot air to fuck off in defense of me, handled business with me — I thank you. Y’all mean more to me than you will ever know. And as always, big thanks to my mama — mumsie, we just getting started. 🥰😘

Alicia Garza - 1.4K Likes - I often think about what kind of leader I want to be when I’m 81 years old. This was an iconic moment for me — leadership across generations. I’m in a lot of reflection about how to keep listening to and learning from the generation coming up after mine. Congratulations to @rpcoalition on a historic leadership transition.

Alicia Garza - 1.3K Likes - When I opened my eyes this morning, I awoke to the news that the amazing @cecilerichards passed away. My heart is broken — for her family, for our movement, and our country. There’s not enough words to describe who we’ve lost. Cecile taught me how to fight, how to walk talk and believe that we deserve it all. That women are the past present and future of this world. She was consistently raising the stakes and raising the bar. I was always glad to talk with her, collaborate with her, share a meal with her, discuss our mutual love of New Orleans and jazz, talk movement with her, have my eyes be opened by her, all of it. She was a legend in our midst and she never once fukin acted like it. Cecile your strength is an inspiration to us all. We gonna raise the bar in your honor — and on this shitty day where we lost you and gained an uncertain future, I’m clearer than ever about what we need to do. Thank you sister. You will absolutely be missed but I promise your legacy will never ever die.

Alicia Garza - 0.9K Likes - This year was big in so many ways. I lost my father this year. I left someone I cared about. I left the organization I founded. Friends drifted, sparks fizzled. And yet, with everything I left or lost, I found a new piece of myself waiting to be seen and loved and cared for. I found more of me, I welcomed her, and now, I’m getting to know her more. I risked. I triumphed. I cried. I fought. I’m winning, no matter what. 2024, you were not at all for the faint of heart. But I am my mother’s child and I will be of the last few who remain. My project 2025 is me — more love, more risks, walking away more in search of what is truly meant for me, what is searching for me, and what has been waiting all its life to find me — in this form, at this pace, at this time. Ready or not — here I come!
