Happy Black History Month 🖤🤎

We are under occupation in a fascist regime. There is no argument.

Me: unchecks the option for businesses to send me emails.

Businesses: proceeds to send me a million emails anyway.

Having to be constantly the bigger person is how we partially ended up in this political situation imo

Mary Sheffield is wearing a red blazer while sworn in

Mary Sheffield was sworn in as Detroit’s 76th mayor, becoming the first woman to hold the office in the city's 324-year history

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I've given up resolutions long ago but a practice I continue is choosing three words to embody the year.

2025's words were: intention, audacity, and alignment. Boy were they embodied BIG time!

2026's words are: insight, integrity, and opportunity. Looking forward to see how they unfold for me.

Happy New Year beautiful Brit 🥂

My house is getting the clean down of a lifetime.

So let me get this straight ... on CHRIST-mas, we’re bombing Nigeria to prove that Christianity > Islam. And all of this is to make AMERICA great again?

I must be in a fever dream cuz aint no way this makes sense to any person with at least one brain cell.

Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings Mia Tretta was shot in the abdomen in 2019 at a school near LA and Zoe Weissman witnessed a Florida shooting in 2018

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Today’s Therapy Thursday consisted of me doing my session while taking my braids down.

Is Iyanla still fixing lives?
Asking for myself.

People forget that when you’re part of their story, you’re a narrator too.

You get to say your part.

I’m following case someone has an answer

Anybody ever find that place where ain’t no smiling faces lyin to the races? 🤔

I’d like to go.

What do people have against coats?

I hate when people say “I’m not an optimist. I’m a realist” like it’s a flex.

What is optimism if not analyzing the realities of the world and deciding that it’s possible for better to exist.

I do! Farewell!

Good Morning to Detroit, Virginia, California, New Jersey, and a special sabah al khayr to Mayor Mamdani ☀️

The margins were close and we have a lot of work today but finally I feel the hope again.

WE DID IT, ZO 🥹💙

Ameen!! We are dancing in the streets

Mamdani wins New York City mayoral race, in a historic victory for progressives Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

SCREAMING!!

This was a good day from beginning to end 💙💙

them: “where do you see yourself in five years?”

me: “unless things change drastically, probably still in the mirror, or in photographs”

The news isn’t exactly bad today 🤭

I promise “trending” makes everything so boring.
Everyone talking about the same things, with the same songs, and the same cringy dancing.

It’s giving mindless.
