Grateful to have volunteered today with the Love Impact Coalition’s Free Clinic — a powerful demonstration of what compassion and community can do together. 🩺💙

Special shout out to Dr. Nicole Thomas and the Honorable Donna Collins Lewis for their unwavering leadership in making this monumental health event possible since 2018. Your commitment continues to open doors for those who need it most.

Grateful also to all the sponsors that support this effort.

Access to free, quality health care isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Events like this remind us that wellness should never be determined by a zip code or a paycheck.

On this Memorial Day, we pause to remember the heroes - the men and women who laid down their lives for our nation. May their sacrifice remind us of John 15:13 — ‘Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.’ We honor them with gratitude and prayer. by @mayorbroome

Today, Baton Rouge mourns the loss of a trailblazer, a statesman, and a son of our city.

Mayor Kip Holden made history as the first African American to lead Baton Rouge as mayor-president. But more than a historic figure, Kip was a relentless advocate for progress, a tireless public servant, and a voice for those too often left out of the conversation.

I had the honor of serving alongside Kip in the Louisiana Legislature. I saw firsthand his sharp mind, his quick wit, and his unwavering belief in the power of government to improve lives. Whether on the House floor or in the mayor’s office, he led with courage, compassion, and a deep love for this community.

As the second African American mayor of Baton Rouge, I stand on his shoulders. His example opened doors and shifted possibilities—not just in City Hall, but in the hearts and minds of people across our parish.

My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Lois, family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. His legacy will live on in the city he helped shape and the many lives he touched. May he rest in power. by @mayorbroome

My heart and prayers go out to the family of Coach Sean Wallace. Sean’s impact on all who knew him was immeasurable, and his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched. A life well lived.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans who have shaped our nation. But let us also remember—the fight for justice, equity, and opportunity is far from over. Today, I was deeply honored to speak at the Donaldson Chapel Baptist Church with Pastor Tommie Gipson Jr. Your commitment to faith, service, and community upliftment is truly inspiring. Thank you for your kindness and for continuing the work of progress—we still have more to do! #KeepPushingForward taken in Baton Rouge by @mayorbroome

The 22 founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. left an indelible mark on history, blazing a trail of leadership, empowerment, and service to the community. Their vision laid the foundation for a sisterhood committed to uplifting Black women and addressing the needs of underserved communities. From their first public act of service at the 1913 Women’s Suffrage March to their ongoing commitment to social justice and advocacy, the legacy of these trailblazers continues to inspire generations to push boundaries, create change, and uplift others.
Happy Founders Day!
