History has been made once again in Georgia State Senate District 38! Thanks to your prayers, encouragement, donations, volunteerism, and votes, I wake up today as your Senator-elect.

I’m a Dem & black charter parent. I appreciate many of your plans but this is a horrible one. Charter schools like the one my son attends need access to these federal funds so more students have a quality education via community developed public charter schools

I’ve been looking at reading and math rates across the country and I am so mad! We seem to just be okay with a pretty standard sub 50% rate across the board. And much worse….the rates for Black and Brown kids. This is a five alarm, all hands on deck, fire people!🚨
When you get to the

There are so many Black and Brown led public charter schools making clear, positive impacts in our communities. We should celebrate the fact that people like Bloomberg are interested in investing more money into our ability to create quality schools in our communities

There are teachers w/out full credentials in traditional and charter public schools & as a former principal, I know for certain that a credential is not the only thing that makes you a great teacher. I would argue the ultimate transparency is a school facing closure if it fails.
Atlanta's 2nd Black female mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, works hard to create an equitable Atlanta. Her leadership earned her the 2020 Distinguished Civil Rights Advocate Award.
Bottoms shows girls how to lead with empathy & strength. How has our mayor inspired you?

It grinds my gears that the charter school movement is such a lightening rod in the Democratic Party. We love words like “change, progress, next and forward” yet folks are OK with our public education system staying the same way for generations and produce lackluster results. 🤔
Hey everyone! I am running to be the next Representative for Georgia's 61st House District! I am a father to two amazing kids, a loving husband, an educator, and an activist who loves our community and the citizens of our district.
When you are arguing for a system to stay in place that fails Black and Brown children at exponentially sad rates while arguing against more public options that exemplify self-determination in Black and Brown communities, you should have several 💺💺💺
I’m incredibly disappointed to see Kathryn Garcia go this route with charters. She’s embraced the unacceptable policy of lifting the charter cap in NYC. Now.. Two minutes be4 early voting starts. Wondering why? .
@DrewMcCaskill
This warms my heart bro. I did not know this. My gram had dementia in her latter years. I just love that your mom is getting this kind of joy.
My day consisted of conversations with other Black male educators at the Georgia State Capitol. Doesn’t get much better! In great company as

Hmm considering I am a happily married gay man with beautiful children who will one day have children of their own, I am ecstatic to have her fighting for families like mine.
Woke up feeling so thankful and grateful. This woman is the reason I am where I am in life. She did not play when it came to school! Good bless the grandparents who step up to raise future generations in their families! 🙏🏽

Paraphrasing MVP Kamala Harris:
“I made history as DA, GA, Senator and now I’m thee Vice President of the United States.
Folks like Nikki Haley attack me because they’re scared… of losing.”
The media made all this fuss about her doing an interview and on doing it jointly. 1. She is knocking it out of the park. 2. The first half has basically been a 1 on 1. Not once did Walz interject or she need any crutch.

*AKAs. Helping you out Mike since you will be referring to them often now 😁. When you refer to them as “Alphas” you are referring to the male fraternity. In our community we refer to the sorority as the AKAs and their “brother” fraternity as the Alphas.

March 3rd will forever be a tough day for me. It’s the day I lost the lady of my life. My Gram raised me and as a kid I used to be so embarrassed to say that, but as I got older I celebrated it. 3-3-19. Gram I love and miss you deeply. Rest well sweet lady.
I am excited to make a significant announcement on Sunday, October 8th! Save the date and stay tuned for more information.

I’ve never heard anyone give the history lesson we heard tonight as to how an election was stolen to change the course of history in 1876. Spoiler alert, it didn’t end well for us! Thank you

I must be 💯 and say this…..you can’t consider yourself an ally with us on one issue (school choice) yet deny the need for ALL of our children to know the true history of this country. 🙅🏾♂️
Knock, knock! ✊🏽 My number one organizer and twin hit the streets with me. We look forward to connecting with you, neighbors! We are fired up and ready to bring fresh leadership with experience and proven results to Senate District 38.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”👊🏽Spotted this today in my Dr’s office, from one of the great daughters of GA, Alice Walker.
