POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last week, V3 had his official first middle school game of the season, and my 11 year old 6th grader started varsity! As a dad, I was excited and nervous, but watching V3 play with composure, fearlessness, and relentless energy as the smallest on the court made me beat my chest proud beyond words. He went 2 for 2 with a clutch three and a floater, and while the crowd, noise, and atmosphere intimidate some, he said it gave him MORE energy!
The best part? Starting varsity in 6th grade was a goal written on his vision wall. You spoke it, believed it, and worked for it. #V3HoopJourney #gamechanger #pointguard #Leader #crossover

As I continue to be distant from friends and constantly working, I am reminded that I do not solely do this work because of its results, but because of the community I get to build. I wake up every day excited to build the relationships I have, and create new ones each and every day to build a world that I believe is attainable, even if it might not be in my lifetime.I wouldn't get to meet, see, and deeply care and love each of the folks in these pictures without @tnimmigrant and @tirrcvotes , and for that, I'll forever be grateful. Love y'all. 9 days till election day.

Memphis, Shelby County, WE HEAR YOU! 🗣️

Affordable housing is a PROBLEM. Grocery prices are OUT OF CONTROL…and working families are being forced to make impossible choices just to survive.

Working hard should mean being able to afford to LIVE. PERIOD.

It’s time to bring the community together to build real solutions about the cost of living, food security, housing, and what families need to thrive.

📍 Join The Equity Alliance for our Shelby County Convening as we discuss the issues impacting our communities and identify opportunities for collective action.

Our communities deserve more than survival, we deserve stability, opportunity, and the ability to THRIVE.

Last night, the Memphis City Council failed to pass a proposed 12-month data center moratorium, after a 6–6 vote ended in a tie. Instead of the year-long pause, council members rushed through an alternative, shorter regulatory ordinance amid heated protests from community members and local activists.

The six council members who voted against (No) the moratorium were Ford Canale, Edmund Ford Sr., Rhonda Logan, Janika White, Chase Carlisle, and Jeff Warren. Councilwoman Yolanda Cooper-Sutton was absent from the meeting due to a family emergency.

The fact remains that the people passionately raised their voices to demand a moratorium, and their representatives did the opposite.

The People are standing for clean air, clean water, a safe environment to thrive in, and a government that works for us. We need elected representatives who’ll answer to the People, not the interests of tech billionaires and big business.

It’s time to get dark money and corruption out of our Tennessee elections. In January, urge your legislator to pass the Restore Power to the People Act.

🚨 MEMPHIS, ALL EYES ON CITY HALL TODAY.

Today, Memphis City Council is considering a proposed 12-month moratorium on new data center development, a decision raising important questions about environmental justice, public health, energy consumption, and community accountability.

For Memphis residents, the conversation is bigger than any single development.

Who benefits? Who bears the costs? And how are the people most directly impacted included in decisions about their neighborhoods?

At The Equity Alliance, we believe communities deserve to be informed, engaged, and heard when decisions are made that could shape their futures.

Because what happens at City Hall doesn’t stay at City Hall. It reaches our neighborhoods, our families, and our everyday lives.

Our communities deserve a seat at the table when decisions are made about the places we call home.

Love everywhere we go. What a blessing 🙏🏾

Spirit woke me up about 4 weeks ago nudging me to make sure I made my way to this experience. I needed to be in the spirit of celebration with multiple generations of black folks! It has really been a hug my heart needed. I cherish our culture so much. I cherish the multiplicity of our beauty so much.

I’m so grateful to be a people favored by God’s rhythm.

Thank you TSU!

Sometimes the game is designed to make you have fun while you think you’re winning, all the while the creators take your five dollars straight to the bank. Recognize when folks are playing you like the game. “When WE don’t like the game, WE change it.” #gamechangersmovement #notagame #imgoodonthat
