When people try to control the world through mis and (dis)information, it’s extremely important to be thinkers, learners, and collaborators.

If there is one lesson to be learned from these social media changes, let it be this: there are people (and entities) that benefit from isolating you from others (and the truths of those others). Act accordingly. Connect with others online AND off. Ya hear? #Tellemtiptoldyou

I say it every year: it’s no coincidence that Sango’s feast day (Kawo Kabiosile) is also Founder’s Day to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, and the anniversary of Chairman Fred’s assassination.

Fire and Ice.

Happy Sango Day!
Happy Founders Day Alphas!!!
Happy Freedom Day community!!!!!

I woke up thinking about High John the Conqueror. I wonder if we'd been brought up on those stories rather than Grimm's fairy tales if we'd have been better off. #BluesPeople

From "Call Her Nana Buuku" by Donna Aza Weir-Soley:

"Dis woman don't play wid words
she's a wordsmith
she know words can burn, can build,
can hide, protect, heal, reveal
secrets of the blood-bought present
the uncharted future
watch weak hearts quake
from her tongue
lashing."

Generations of life on this land,
Decades of culture and history to praise,
Triumph born from equal parts struggle and genius
Who wouldn’t be thankful for the gift of tenacity
and strength,
and brilliance,
and talent,
and we?

As we stand at the precipice of a new day, we must also be backwards facing to ensure that we have a deep understanding of who and what we are in order to fully imagine who and what we can be. #tellemtiptoldyou #radicalimagination #blackhistory

Media literacy should be a primary focus at all ages of schooling. The community must fill the gaps in our young folks’ education in this area.

Time is a nonrenewable resource. Let’s work, rest, and love like we know that. #tellemtiptoldyou
