The things we’ve had to endure as Black Americans is unfathomable. But, in spite of everything they’ve done, we not only survived, but thrived! IG: itsuatl #BlackHistory #BlackWomen #FlightAttendant #BlackResiliance #BlackPower

Tonight, I spoke my truth. There is NOTHING more powerful than telling your story. Never forget that. 🧡

In 2000, Al Gore “lost” Florida and with it, the presidency by 537 votes. I won my Senate seat by 312 votes. The battleground states will be decided by one or two votes per precinct. So volunteer! Phone bank! Door knock! Get out there for Kamala and Tim!!! #DNCConvention2024 go.kamalaharris.com/

It was just a year ago me singing at the @SuperBowl 57 letting people hear 125-year-old hymn in a new way. I didn’t know I had a bucket list but this was on it. #check.

Amazing! 👏 @DoctorAliRezai
My jaw dropped,” says @DoctorAliRezai as he reviewed the surprising results from his Alzheimer's trial. Before and after images show that the brain plaque – which disrupts the communication between brain cells – was significantly reduced. cbsn.ws/3O3JPjU

With my mother. Daddy’s funeral. He wasn’t assassinated because he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.” But for dismantling racism, poverty & militarism. He wanted corrective measures to eradicate racism, not the delusion that it doesn’t exist.

I’m traveling across CA to connect with folks in every community—especially those who've historically been counted out. It was a joy to join @EunissesH, @HugoForCD13, and NELA gente for cafecito, conchas, and conversation! Our campaign is giving everyone a seat at the table.

Norman Lear was a true inspiration, an honest reminder that age is just a number. What a pleasure it was to work with him to share the message about the beauty and privilege of aging. My condolences to his family, fans and loved ones.

In a touching story revealed by historian Michael Beschloss, when former President Jimmy Carter was at his sickest, and they feared the worst, he refused hospital care saying he wanted to pass away holding Rosalynn’s hand. New information has surfaced that when Rosalynn died Sunday, she did so with her loving husband holding her hand. “Number one, this was one of the great marriages in American history, even if they weren’t president and first lady,” Beschloss said. “Not only the length of this marriage, (77 years) but the closeness of it - that partnership.” Today we send continued love to Former President Jimmy Carter. Have you ever seen such an enduring love story?
