Did you know the Black Panthers helped bring acupuncture to our communities? In the 1970s, BP used acupuncture as a tool for healing, pain relief, and community empowerment long before it was mainstream.
As I approach graduation with my DAcCHM, this legacy feels deeply personal. ✊🏾🖤🪴 #blackhistory

Before the rush of Thanksgiving begins—the cooking, the traveling, the hosting, the expectations—I want to take a quiet moment to say this: Your worth is not measured by how perfectly your home looks, how much you cook, or how much you can do for everyone else.
Your worth is rooted in who you are.

September is National Pain Awareness Month – a time to shine a light on the millions of people living with chronic pain and the importance of understanding, managing, and treating it.
Pain isn’t something you just have to “live with.”

If I’ve said it once…I’ll say it hundred times. “Love and Basketball” his a horror story! And this is coming from someone who in her youth loved “Baby Boy” and “Love and Basketball” and thought they were the ultimate love stories. Thank God for wisdom!

This is an opportunity…to save money…to learn to be better and more discriminatory spender…and to invest in black production…whether farm or textiles or services. Support Black Businesses! #executiveorder #trumpamerica #segregation #supportblackbusinesses ✊🏾

Not only in and of ourselves, but Black ppl also have tremendous influence on the buying habits of other groups as the arbiters of “cool”, what we do is copied around the world.

No matter what you about it…good or bad! Black people are arguably one of the most powerful consumer groups in this country. Trump bringing back segregation should be celebrated. If you don’t want to service or sell to maga or trump voters, guess what? Apparently you don’t have to… 🤣 #buyblack ✊🏾

I still don’t like President Biden. And will never forgive his political past. But his actions over the past few weeks means his legacy won’t be completely tainted in my mind.

Disordered eating + exercise disorders are making a major comeback.
“easy 20k steps a day” type shit. “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”
Go after your fitness goals, just be mindful of the voices you listen to in the process.

Anyone one else enjoying the maga civil war happening right now? Listen, I think Laura Loomer is a disgusting human being…but petty Loomer battling the maga is my favorite character in this final season of America. She is the evil villain we all need. I just love how she airs. 🥰
