All my life I had to fight… ✊🏾
Nah. I’m past trying to prove humanity to people who profit from missing it.

Grateful to represent the 92%. 🙌🏾
Didn’t know @1jasmineterry and @jolandajones before… but we locked in instantly. 🤝🏾
Black girl magic is still very real… and the world can never steal our crown. 👑🖤

And seeing Black men stand up for us too? Yeah… that mattered. 🫶🏾

We are all learning more and more… we all we got. 💯

Man, I love this shit. Truly listening and being heard is a gift.

Thank you@keisean and @heysenoraharris for facilitating this conversation. Thank you @regaltodd for sharing your story and perspective. I appreciate you being open to hearing mine.

Now, according to some folks in the YT comments, I’m a gaslighting African booty scratcher. And that’s okay. Because the people actually in the room were able to openly share time, space, and perspectives. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

Pan African to the death of me. 🖤❤️💚
