As a black woman who lost all of her hair during c As a black woman who lost all of her hair during cancer treatment, I can't imagine not being able to wear it a certain way when my hair grew back. The CROWN Act was created in 2019 to ensure protection against discrimination based on race-based hairstyles such as braids, locs, twists and knots in the workplace and public schools. So far, only six states have passed the bill. We must keep pushing. Don't let anyone tarnish your crown or say it is anything less than royalty just because the texture is different. #thecrownact #kingsandqueens #blackroyalty #myblackisbeautiful #blackqueen #blackking #naturalhair #blackhair

Father, the older I get, the more I find myself li Father, the older I get, the more I find myself living out the lessons you taught me as a child, teen and young adult. You are still my go to person for wise counsel. You wear so many hats - businessman, musician, dentist, entrepreneur, husband, advisor, mentor, uncle, friend, pastor, board member, songwriter, executive producer, founder. Father is my favorite though. You're constant demonstration of fatherhood - Provider, Protector, Presence - to your tribe of 7 and the many who consider you a spiritual father is unparalleled. Bonus Dad - thank you for raising the most amazing Godfearing, loving, caring, smart, funny and creative son who I call husband. You are a constant source of wisdom, great stories, strength and love. We appreciate you more than you could ever know. Happy Father's Day!!! . #fathersday #happyfathersday #realfathers #fatherhood #fatherhoodmatters #blackfathers #blackkings #blackmen #becauseofthemwecan #girldad #boydad

I've been immersed in conversations about actionab I've been immersed in conversations about actionable next steps in this fight for equality, justice and the eradication of racism and developed these three principles. Allies should EDUCATE themselves, their families, colleagues and friends on systemic racism and its impact on every corner of the fabric of our society. There are many books and resources. DM me if interested in a list. Everyone should ENGAGE in your sphere of influence to determine how you can be most impactful in making change. You can donate to causes such as the Equal Justice Initiative (@eji_org). You can get engaged in your local government. You can join community organizations. You can sit on local and national boards. No matter what area you are currently plugged into, there is work that needs to be done. ACTIVATE others to make changes in their spheres of influence as well. We need everyone's support to create lasting impact even after the news cycle moves on and the cameras are off. #BlackLivesMatter #BuyBlack #CriminalJusticeReform #Equality #endracism

Racism is the wound that America never properly tr Racism is the wound that America never properly treated. Just like any improperly treated wound, infection can set in and spread before you realize surgery is required. America has reached another inflection point and cannot ignore that it has to properly treat the wound no matter how far the infection has spread (law enforcement, judicial system, legislation, criminal justice system, politics economics, education, communities, corporations, "religious" organizations). Only then, can true healing begin.
