The replay is available: gowest.events - I recently hosted my inaugural #NeighborUpSummit & the day was full of tangible insight on how we can be good #neighbors in our care for the climate, in our faith & beliefs, to people grappling with addictions, etc. #NeighborUp

Remembering and honoring this brilliant man on his 100th birthday.
So many powerful lessons and inspiring examples from the life of #MalcolmX.
I’m truly grateful that he was born.

Fannie Lou Hamer. What a human being. Transitioned 48 years ago today but deposited so much power and wisdom, and suffered so much as she worked for justice, during her sojourn on earth.
Thank you, #FannieLouHamer.

The way #BreonnaTaylor’s life was disregarded by Louisville police and is diminished by those who try to justify her death nauseates me. When I heard the then KY Attorney General express more concern about the walls next door than for this Black woman’s life, I was sick. Still, I weep.
