I’ve never shared this photo. It was taken 2/13/19 at the Biden’s home. I met with Biden, Dr. B, and his senior advisors for several hours prior to his announcement running for President of the US. Seems fitting to say, thank you sir! Thank you!

No election is too small. ALL elections matter and have the potential to shape how we become a more inclusive nation.
Today, Lewiston, Maine elected the first Somali American to its city council. Congratulations to Safiya Khalid!

This is exactly the problem. So many women of color called for impeachment long before the “badasses” did.

Thank you for all that you did for Black women. You will inspire Black women and girls for generations to come.

I worked hard to get Joe Biden elected and I’m proud of my work. But I will never take for granted the role activists played in 2020 and every great fight for justice.
So I spoke my truth!

Congressman John Lewis once said “Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic.”
What makes you hopeful? Seriously. Share it!
If you’re like me, you could use a few reasons to keep your head up.
Here are 50 reasons to stay hopeful from the past 3+ years.
Yesterday I spoke what many voters of color have been feeling. So much is at stake so get it together folks.
Today, I launched a media company a place where people also speak truth to power.

The pettiness of this administration...
Last night I started to scroll through photos and found a few memories.
The first is from February 2012 in a campaign office for the 2012 re-elect in Columbus, OH. We worked so hard to get the office ready for the VP. I actually built the wall behind us.
In DC, most former and current chiefs of staff are white men. The VP and her team are breaking that model. If that makes you feel uncomfortable or unreasonably scrutinize WOC leaders, that is on you. Not their leadership.
If you are or have ever been a chief of staff, or if you hold a position of power in politics (particularly if you are a white man), now would be a great time to stand up for Black women and say “cut it out!”
This is why representation matters.

Some will say this is about 2024. Maybe, but that is not the point for me. This is about how you support Black women leaders when it matters most.
You don’t have to like the VP, her team, or her politics. But in this moment, here is where real allyship comes in.

Tonight was just a small taste of our very near future, America. We voted for justice. And justice is coming. For now we celebrate. And soon we get back to work.

Impeachment is, once again, a continuation of this country's legacy of marginalizing Black and brown people and then erasing us from the history books.
Once again, executives were threatened by a Black woman speaking up and showing up as her whole self.

This photo reminds me why the President-elect is called for this moment. I was asked to pull this meeting together on the Ebola crisis. We talked about how to get the crisis under control in Liberia, but also how to ensure it did not come to America and ravage our country.
The Trump administration continues to turn back the clock on civil and human rights – and it's outrageous.
The attacks are heartless and heartbreaking.
And it's why we MUST continue to resist, organize, litigate, march, and fight for justice – together.
Seeing the video of George Floyd’s murder was traumatic.
Watching his family and friends grieve was traumatic.
Reliving the incidents via the trial of the police officer who murdered him is traumatic.

Keeping abortion safe and legal isn’t enough.
We need to fight to make abortion accessible for ALL.
The attacks on abortion access most directly impact Black and Brown people, people with low incomes, and LGBTQ people.
