Keep these words of freedom, words of hope!
Some words say the unspeakable, shape the drama and tenor of any moment until you are forced to become entangled by the powers within them. Some words create community, instill a sense of mission that keeps you rooted even if on a cross. These days, I’m in the mood for celebrating how words are freedom,…

Keep astonishing with your light!
Perhaps we do not want to be remembered. Perhaps we do not want to be praised either. Perhaps we desire no fame. Perhaps we choose instead to live quietly. Perhaps we prefer no one knew we existed.

Keep your gifts from God or Happy Birthday Chiwetel!

There we were, standing in front of Fredrick Douglass. He stood majestic in bronze. We were stunned by his hair, his facial structure, his arm grip, his legs, his whole being.

Keep knowing that even this too shall pass!
I spent the day saying this too shall pass, because this too shall pass and when this too passes, all that would be left is this. And it’s so worth it to keep this thing we know matters, for us, for our healing and for everyone. So even if we sound like a broken record,…

Keep knowing your scars!
And what will you do today. My soul wondered out loud ever since we signed up to speak. And how will you celebrate the connections? Art and headwraps, you, motherhood, health and life. This is trivial, simple, we are all these things, and the connections are simple. No doubt today is here. There will be…

Keep knowing their defeat is eminent.
When your existence is an accomplished fact, and your way of seeing things is the norm, then even if terminated, you are powerful and should still go forth staking your rightful claim as leaders of tomorrow even if today seems bleak.

Keep standing with science!
Eliminating health-related grants like, some in the middle of clinical trials like the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network is not only unethical, but one of the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought. A nation, free, confident and proud in all of stands for, doesn’t reject science on the basis of ideology, doesn’t eject…
