Not today. July 4, 1776 did not mean freedom for our ancestors. They were still enslaved, hunted, and written out of “liberty.” Our freedom story begins with 1865 and continues every day we build Black village, protect Black joy, and tell the truth out loud. #1865Not1776 #BavaroBlackCollective 1/2

Y’all… my soul is full. 🤎 Since our Juneteenth Family Reunion, my inbox has been filling up with lines like: - “The music woke my soul all the way up… exactly what my spirit has been missing.” - “Living abroad is beautiful, but finding genuine community is something special.” 1/4

Why are so many of us living in Bávaro–Punta Cana but still paying 60–100 USD a month for U.S. phone service? In our latest “Money‑Savin’ Moves” video, I walk through how I dropped my bill to around 15 USD/month, kept my Houston number, and still have excellent coverage here. 1/2
