I'm still processing my visit to Kingston. The highlight, for me, was learning about this giant of a person. Nanny of the Maroons was the epitome of a fearless and protective mother.

Rachel Scott is the Senior Political Correspondent for ABC News covering the White House and Congress. She asked Donald Trump why he was focused on a ballroom instead of rising gas prices. There’s no good answer for that so he called her a bitch.

To close out #teachersappreciationweek, I'd like to give a nod to a woman who saved my life. Everything I needed to survive and thrive was given to me in my fifth-grade teacher's classroom. Mrs. Catherine Cassens-Dixon will forever live in my heart.

I am so grateful to those who kept pushing to educate all of us about what it is to be neurodivergent. If I've come along way, then countless others have, too. It's a really good feeling. #autismawareness

My one post from yesterday that people SHOULD be talking about. Drowning rates among marginalized communities are too high for comfort. We are aiming to assist in lowering that number by teaching kids how to swim and providing water safety. You can help us do that ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Replying to @SheKnowsSports
Since I have everyone’s attention- my chapter 501 (c)(3) is raising money to sponsor kids swimming lessons. You can Donate via Cash App at $TNFB or via Venmo @terrikafb . Each lesson is $200 and we’re trying to sponsor 5! 😁😁😁

France made this wastefulness illegal cause it’s cruel and only causes more waste issues. Any food market or restaurant over 400 square meters has to donate all their good unsold food to charities and are fined if they do anything like this. That law should be applied everywhere
An American showed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts at night. Straight into the trash. After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22. And instead of selling them cheaper… They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.
