This is a very sentimental time for me. Id like to introduce you all to the family I was born too late to meet. I couldn’t understand why I felt so strongly about the journey I’m on but I’d like to share this with you. ✊🏾

Honoring my roots this
#BlackHistoryMonth ✨ Henry Beard Delany was a trailblazer—born into slavery, he became the first Black Episcopal bishop in the U.S.
•
His daughters, Sadie and Bessie Delany, shattered barriers as an educator and a dentist, sharing their remarkable journey in Having Our Say.
•
Hubert Thomas Delany was a civil rights lawyer, judge, and activist who fought for justice alongside Thurgood Marshall and supported Dr. King. He was also the FIRST BLACK TAX COMMISSIONER IN NYC.
•
Their legacy of faith, education, and activism runs deep, and I am beyond proud to walk in their lineage. 🖤✊🏾
