Claiming that Black people are unqualified to perform the same jobs as White people is racist. There is no wiggle room on this point. Your presumption makes you a racist.

I think Sky fans deserve some level of transparency on why their leading scorer wasn’t even offered a contract by the organization but that’s just me.

My 2nd Annual Black Women Lead Illinois Holiday Reception was a joyful space of celebration and support in honor of Black women serving in elected office throughout Illinois! Empowered women empower women. And this is a mighty sisterhood rooted in service to our state.

We all have the right to tell our own story. To be honest, I’ve been very sad. But I thank Chicago for all the love being shown to me. Despite what they say Chicago has tons of heart. chicago.suntimes.com/columni…

Donald Trump didn’t just beat Kamala Harris. He beat the system that tried to put him in jail. Now he's become the first convicted felon ever to win a presidential election — and that means he'll almost certainly never face legal accountability šŸ‘‰ politi.co/3Ax4kSK

Not too long ago, Black people had to pay a fee to vote. A literal fee. We were jailed. We were beaten. We were sometimes killed for exercising our right to vote. No, I don’t pass up my opportunity to vote. No, I don’t think ā€œall politicians are the same.ā€ It’s bigger than me.
