Ppl will admire your depth until it’s time to swim in it. They’ll praise your wisdom until it holds them accountable… love your light until it exposes their shadows. They’ll crave your energy until they realise it’s not free.

Just in case you weren’t aware, the so called “patriots” are now calling Henry Nowak’s sister a “mud shark race traitor” because she has a mixed race child.
The “protests” in Southampton aren’t about his death.
They’re about rabid racism and male violence.

They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.

Black parents failed Black women when it comes to dating. FAILED!

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.
This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.
We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.
