Dear Caribbean folks (mostly aunties), “Lawd yuh get fat!” is not an appropriate holiday greeting. -Management #thingscaribbeanpeoplesay #westindians #homefortheholidays

Someone being “silent” about an issue online is in no way indicative of what they’re doing about it OFFline. Allow allies to hold space for you in ways they can manage & remember that social media is only ONE form of activism— and a potentially performative one at that. (1 of 2)

While pain is valid, feeling entitled to someone’s outspoken support is not. Listening & learning can be just as important as leading. As we mourn the innocent civilians on both sides who’ve perished, let’s extend grace to each other as we process this tragedy in our own ways.

From sleeping at Marriott hotels as an aspiring travel blogger, to literally being a face (or, in this case, “back” 😅) of the @MarriottBonvoy brand. When you follow your heart, your dreams will come true! #grateful #yesthatsme

Only in America could a celebrity assault someone during a live broadcast, be allowed to sit back down, THEN accept an award on the same stage it happened 😱. The Oscars were NOT about to eff up their bag by stopping the broadcast... Land of the Free frfr #capitalism #willsmith

The immigrant parent urge to ask where the extra 1% is when you score 99% on a test. 😩 #immigrantparentsbelike #firstgen

The next time someone asks my age I’m going to tell them “I’m old enough to remember printing directions from Mapquest” years old.

Shoutout to the people who traveled before the Internet was a thing. I can barely make it to Starbucks without using Google Maps— no idea how I navigated places like Marrakech and Marseille without smartphones or GPS. #OlderMillennial

Black people in the U.S. may be free from slavery but we’re still bound by the shackles of white surpremacy. Juneteenth may be a federal holiday but the fight for TRUE racial justice still marches on. #stayfocused #JuneTeenth2021

Don’t assume someone being “silent” about an issue online is indicative of what they’re are doing about it OFFline. The quickest way to lose a potential ally is to berate them for not showing support in the way you want them to. Your pain is valid, your entitlement is not.

I want to live in a world where accountability for murdering Black people is the rule, not the exception. We still have a long way to go. But let’s celebrate this win tonight. #justicenotpeace #GeorgeFloydVerdict

If you’re tired of hearing about Asian hate crimes, imagine how tired Asian people are of experiencing them. Rest in power to the latest victims of senseless violence. #StopAAPIHate

If you care about Anti-Asian racism but don’t care enough to speak up about it, you are part of the problem. Your silence is the voice of complicity. So if you won't say it, I will: THE HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIANS WORLDWIDE NEED TO STOP. POINT BLANK PERIODT.

Just in case you forgot: Black history is *everyone’s* history. It shouldn’t be something we only pay attention to in February. Also— since I have your attention— always capitalize the “B” in Black. ✊🏾 -Mgmt
