They got my grad cap. It was super cute

bell hooks said: “To love well, women must unlearn the belief that suffering is proof of devotion.” and i ain’t ever been the same since…

Girl to girl: study the patterns in your family. Look at what distracted, delayed, or derailed the women before you, then make intentional decisions to break those cycles. refuse to be a victim of generational curses ❤️

FREE KARMELO ‼️ I don’t wanna hear nothing else.

What bothers me most about Karmelo Anthony’s verdict? First-degree murder means the jury feels Karmelo viciously attacked Austin, a total stranger to him, in an intentional, deliberate rage. They’re saying that he set out to purposefully kill someone he didn’t know, over a bleacher seat, in the middle of a chaperoned high school event. Even if the jury decided Karmelo still needed to accept some level of guilt in a life being lost — a 35-year prison sentence and a first degree murder-conviction means the jury doesn’t see this as the tragic, tragic mistake between two young teens that it is. They’re telling us Karmelo set out to end Austin’s life on purpose and with full intent. When in reality, I think this is a regret and heartbreak Karmelo will carry for the rest of his life

The justice system is flawed. There is no justice for black people in a system that has always been meant to keep us oppressed, depressed and enslaved (physically and mentally). Ain’t no way…

That poor baby boy. I don’t even have the bandwidth to articulate my thoughts on the he verdict against Karmelo Anthony. Just profound sadness for another black boy lost to the system.

Trayvon Martin case really opened my eyes to the justice system and how messed up it was. I'll NEVER forget that shit

35 years on your first offense is over sentencing. Yea there has to be a retrial. This is blatant injustice.

Yall keep them young black kings close, continue to pray and speak life over them daily. It ain’t easy being a BLACK man.

RT @Jameca2011: Lord, cover this baby; he didn’t deserve this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😢

This Karmelo Anthony verdict being found guilty right after a Chinese man was found innocent after chasing a black kid down and killing him should tell you everything you need to know about what our priorities should be in these United States

My heart goes out to Black teenagers who are disregarded as if they know nothing in most businesses but treated as adults in the criminal justice system, because it’s convenient for racists.

Civil rights attorney, Ben Crump, is representing Cherrie Moore, who called for help during a mental health crisis. She deserved compassion, care, and dignity. Instead, she was thrown to the ground and repeatedly struck by a police officer. WATCH: #DemsUnited

Marsha “Pay it No Mind” Johnson (1945-1992) was a Black trans woman. She was also an activist that was a force behind the Stonewall Riots that kicked off the LGBTQ movement in 1969.  Unfortunately she was tragically murdered in 1992. #DemsUnited #PrideMonth

Protect black men’s mental health. 🤎

Black children deserve to grow old.

RT @__TheeOnlyA: sometimes, a judge needs to step in and override a jury’s verdict. that young boy was chased. shot in the back. executed…

This is why we continue to speak Latasha Harlins name.
