Read this piece by Dr. Javian Baker in The Grio on CDF Founder and President Emerita Marian Wright Edelman. Her lifelong advocacy teaches us to carry the legacy forward and serve as a witness for children to break the cycle of poverty. Read more: https://on.thegrio.com/4u5RiCs

My hope and prayer is that we #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend: anyone & anything - self included - who seeks to undermine,oppress and kill the God-possibilities of our neighbors and ourselves; and any feelings and actions within and external to us that seek to choose hate over the way of love!

My hope&prayer in this season is that #WeThePeople #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend: anything & anyone - including self - who tries to oppress & hold us back from who God created us to be; #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #IAmALoveRevolutionary #IAmUnstoppable #DisciplinedDeterminedDevotedDreaming

I leave you with the words of trailblazer #ShirleyChisholm: “I want history to remember me not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself. I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.”

Transformation is contagious! While everyone in the world is concerned - rightfully so - with the state of the nation and the world, change begins within and has the capacity and tremendous possibility to be a catalyst and spark for change externally. #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend

Still at #FCBCHarlem, no matter the Sunday, you are welcome to come as you are, as we are most concerned that you #LiveLoveServe as God created and calls us too! #IAmANewDayDawning #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend #WeAreTheOnesGodIsWaitingFor #FCBCnyc

#ToGodBeTheGlory: Today was Hats, Hymns & Robes Sunday at #FCBCnyc! With songs like #IGotATestimony and putting on our Sunday best, this is a Sunday that takes me back to my Southern roots growing up in a small church in Alabama. #FCBCHarlem #FCBCnyc #IAmADisciple #IAmANewDayDawning

On the day news hit that Rev. #JesseJackson had transitioned to be w/God, Jesus & the ancestors, I wore my vote tee in honor of him. In the 2026 midterms & in every election, may we show through our #GetOutTheVote actions that we believe in our voting power to make a difference. #WhyOurVoteCantWait

#ToGodBeTheGlory: What a mighty God we serve and what tremendous, faithful and faith-believing and acting ancestors we have - like Rev. #JesseJackson - that have enabled and made a way for the hands that once picked cotton to now can pick presidents! #WhyOurVoteCantWait #WhyOurAdvocacyCantWait

Rev. #JesseJackson: Well done on #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities and in modeling and teaching us that #WeAreTheOnesGodIsWaitingFor to #TriumphantlyTranformTranscend any and everything that seeks to deny and prevent us from living the lives God created us to live! #WhyOurAdvocacyCantWait

I love the evolution of #MichelleObama. In this season of her life, Michelle Obama lives like she has nothing to prove. I pray that in each season, I get more and more free, that I and my freedom steadfastly evolves, elevates and expands. 🙏🏾 #EvolveElevateExpand #FreeFavoredFruitful

#TheWayOfTheCarpenter

Dear God: Forgive me for going low when high was the way to my more elevated, transformative, and transcendent self, life and world I dream of. #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend #DiscilpinedDeterminedDevotedDreaming #EvolveElevateExpand #IAmALoveRevolutionary #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities

That is the way to transform ourselves and the world.

We do ourselves a disservice when we choose to go low. It impacts our height possibilities.

and transcending in this hate-filled time. The path to the greater, better, and more that we long for and dream of but have yet to experience is in a disciplined, higher, elevated, and transcendent state of Love….Love for neighbor, love for self, love for others who are different than us, etc.

The way of Love is the high road, which leads to a higher elevation for society in all of its components; a higher, more elevated state of being for the ones taking it; etc. This is the countercultural shift that we must be leaders in advocating for, taking, elevating
