This morning’s meditation:. No matter what we do to the Earth, she will always be our mother. We are part of something greater - we are stardust. We can feel her embrace or we can reject it, but she is always with us. The connection is there, if we accept it.

And I was once one of those young people who was a first-generation college goer that needed support…and was luck enough to get it.

Many folks I know in the UK were speaking up or were behind the scenes trying to avoid adding to the fire. The media will never cover those of us who do speak up, so the only way I know what is going on is through people I know personally and that is mostly happening on LinkedIn.

So many mulberries! I have already made jam so today it’s gluten free cobbler. We also have lots of Serrano chilis - will have to share them with the neighbors! The garden is doing well this year.

Last night in Spokane (for a few weeks)…consulting, volunteering, celebrating…even some teaching thrown in! I earned this drink tonight and sending up some prayers for friends and family no longer with us. I’ll always work to make you proud.

Those protections have been undermined for years as part of a concerted effort by conservative legislators and court justices to shift the scales towards injustice. When people ask me how I can stay hopeful and continue the work during times like these, I tell them that I think about my parents.

Had to renew my CA driver’s license and get my REAL ID so I stopped by downtown San Mateo afterwards and visited the Japanese Garden, in my very comfy shoes by @fluevog.bsky.social.

I finished the audiobook of Kin by @tayari.bsky.social - another amazing piece of art that I will be processing for a while. Highly recommended! Order from a Black-owned bookstore, like Marcus books in Oakland: marcusbooks.com/search?q=Kin

#BlackHistoryMonth - about the first Black doll I ever owned. I loved Barbie, but Mattel didn't produce a Black Barbie until 1980. Diahann Carroll played a nurse in the show Julia, another first. The doll that was made from that show was an important representation for so many young girls like me.

My generation grew up with a show that helped us see a beautiful image of our country…that’s why our hearts are breaking now. 💔

They are an important part of our country’s history and I’m very proud to be part of their legacy. I have learned so much from their lives and appreciate the work of advocates like @ucheblackstockmd.bsky.social who work to educate us all about health disparities.

Rocelious and Leora lived through difficult times, growing up during the depression and the uncertainties of WW II, often having manage their way through the Jim Crow South and the intolerant North. My father died in 2001 and my mother in 2010, both as a result of cardiovascular disease.

Over 20 years of service, she raised seven children and moved too many times to count. Leora was part of the Great Migration from Louisiana to Los Angeles in the early 1950s where she went to work as a seamstress and met a handsome young soldier who swept her off her feet.
