I don't believe in gate keeping. If someone, especially a young woman, reaches out and wants to know about my career, salary, parenting or whatever I will make room for her. I am where I am because of women who made room to answer my questions. We lift as we climb.

Northern VA doesn't feel like the south, until you go to a work outting and you end up at a plantation. This happened to me more than once. Also the enslaved reenactors at Mount Vernon are God's strongest soldiers, because the questions they answer are wild.

Thunderbolts really surprised me. I got the action and humor I was expecting, but the dialogue centering mental health was really a welcomed gift. I'll be watching again soon.

So over at Booktok we were told First Time Caller was an must read, so Noelle did. Takeaway? Cute 90s style romcom with a great FMC. The MMC? He doesn't believe in love when his dad stood by his mother going through cancer and is happily traveling together. Not a spoiler but it drove me nuts💙📚

Was Cory Booker being "performative"? I don't think so, but at the end of the day, impact matters. He made history and I was proud to watch him finish strong.

Hopefully Strom Thurmond took some time out of his busy schedule burning in hell to get the news that he was just beaten by a black man.

As Corey Booker prepares to break the record of the longest speech on the senate floor staying on topic for over 24 hours, a reminder that when Ted Cruz did his 21+ hour filbuster he resulted to reading Green Eggs and Ham to eat up time.

Last weekend I said goodbye to my 17 year old "puppy", Ottobear. Through this grief, I was able to allow my loved ones to support me without trying to "keep it together". I took space as I needed it and accepted all the help that was given to me. Thank you, Otto, for a final lesson in love.

This doesn't make John Deere a perfect or even progressive company. If DEI didn't make sense for the company and their bottom line, they wouldn't do this. DEI matters. Period.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

I'm half way through A Court of Mist and Fury and I am pissed! I can't stop talking about the group and getting angry at the characters. I fear I'm growing obsessed with ACOTAR.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

With all of the *vaguely gestures chaos of the country* stuff going on it seems like a good time to get into escapism. Y'all, just cracked open ACOTAR. 12 chapters in. Miss ma'am is DRAGGING but everytime I'm about to put it down, I'm like, wait...so who's this? Ooh. I'm invested #booksky

Yes! I had a relative tell me to "just leave since you have a passport". I once did the work to get a visa in Portugal and it was heaps of work and that was one of the easier processes out there. People really don't understand. Also if they're asking you they need to pay you because what?
