I’m up but I REFUSE to get out of this bed for at least another 20 minutes.

You should! I usually watch it during my end of year holiday break including on Thanksgiving while I’m cooking!

One thing I learned about the community is that they will try to return lost discs. I received this text message this week! It was my favorite disc but too far to get to! We learned to put our contact info on our discs.

It’s been a while! Still playing disc golf! @randisc.com I just placed an order because we lost a few discs to the swamp last week! I still have my Yeti but lost my favorite purple one. So glad we got some photos of them before they were lost!

I can’t access your link.

Beyoncé won Best Country album at the #GRAMMYs during Black History Month! I love it here 😂

So happy for Beyonce’!!! She was so surprised!!! I love that for her!

A part of my practice involves reflection and rest so I’ve already decided that I’m going to be touching so much grass, meaning going outside and doing things that bring me joy. The Universoul Circus is coming to Tampa in March! Heading to the Zora Neale Hurston Festival this weekend too!

My work centers DEI in higher education. I KNOW that I’m working in my purpose. I am watching the world react to the attempts of erasure. Believe me when I tell you that this is not stopping the activists or practitioners. This is a part of the work.

lol! Right?!??? I would take a pic like this again in a heartbeat 💗

Since it’s Throwback Thursday, lemme see you as a kid.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military.

Altogether, 992 pilots graduated from the Tuskegee Air Field courses, and they flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals.

Whew the way I refuse to pick!!! I would need to flip and get rid of one 🤷🏽‍♀️

People who are choosing to boycott stores and speak on it in the moment are frustrated and trying to figure out what to do & how to be heard because businesses are demonstrating a lack of care through their actions. Let people feel their feelings. Next we organize.

I was buying eggs from Costco because the prices are so good there but moved to more of a plant based diet and eat tofu scramble instead. I see people complaining about the cost of eggs… Costco sells them for a great price! They also sell tofu in bulk for a great price too!

My mom 🕊️

Thanks for this! Learning ASL has been a goal of mine for a while! Looking forward to this course!

I’m grateful for that memory and our conversation. Today my self care Sunday plans are to retie my Locs while watching Netflix and giving myself a mani/pedi. I’m also going to cook a nice Sunday meal for my family.

I started self care Sunday during the pandemic with my mom as a way to stay connected with her since we lived in separate states. She passed away in 2023 and I vowed to keep it going for myself. Here’s a pic of us when she came to visit in 2022. It was our first self care Sunday in person 🥹🤎

Working my body helps me settle my mind. These socials can feel like a dangerous place because of all of the life happening to us all. I hope you all find ways to create the peace you need because it may not be given to you from anyone else ✌🏽

I try to go to the gym AT LEAST 3 times a week and if I don’t make it to the gym, Peloton is that GWORL! Happy Sunday, folx!

I am not a CDO but it isn’t lost on me how they get very little credit and are often not supported by the organizations that hired them.

When DEI is embedded into systems you get pay transparency, better hiring practices, a boost in employee morale and retention!

DEI initiatives benefit everyone. Why wouldn’t you want everyone to have opportunities to feel like they belong?

It’s the days you feel most tired that you need to just get up. That was today for me. Glad I got my gym on today! Now I’m sitting on my sofa with my heated blanket drinking a cup of coffee before I start my day.

Did NOT want to go the gym this morning but I am here.

lol either way, I’m good ☺️

Goes to check my username against my @ 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am people.

People are in their feelings and processing in real time.
