I’m so happy that black people on TikTok are opening up about what the Haka does to us when we watch it because frfr EVERYTIME I see the Haka?? I SOB. It’s deadass a spiritual/ancestral responce, I cannot control it. So glad to know that I’m not the only one who feels that call😩
I’m making mac and cheese tomorrow. For the first time. On Thanksgiving. Since only the people I live with will be tasting it (because #covid) we can view this as a trial run, yeah? Right?

Forgot to add 2021 pics, but my Mac and cheese was an absolute hit in 2020 and last year, so I was entrusted once again. Y’all, I think I’m officially the mac and cheese person for Thanksgiving. #Thanksgiving2022 #blackthanksgiving #macandcheese

🧵We've pulled together some of the false claims about crime and incarceration you're most likely to hear at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and the data and facts to help you push back:

A white neighbor called the police on and traumatized this 9-year-old Black child because he saw her spraying insect repellant on trees.
He told the police a “little Black woman” with a “hoodie” is “spraying stuff on trees”.
If y’all don’t leave our children alone…
✋🏾 put a finger down if you inadvertently let out an excited “oh!” and interrupt a conversation because you fangirl over seeing @uche_blackstock but then you stumble over your words even though you know you can string a sentence together.

Renee Smith had to make an impossibly brave choice to zip tie her paralyzed husband to his bed after they were sent home from the hospital before the hurricane. She is incredible. Please donate to their GoFundMe if you can.

Excited that our second Endline Evaluation of the #Lesotho #PPP #hospital is now in print. Much higher occupancy in 2018 and longer ALOS, lower mortality (6.5% vs. 8% in 2013) @nancyscott1028 @usfcahealth @busph journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
This image makes me think of @violadavis and the rest of the Dahomey from @WomanKingMovie #WomanKing
“An island called California, inhabited by Black women, their armor was made entirely out of gold.”
As conjured by Spanish novelist Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo in 1510's “The Labors of the Very Brave Knight Esplandían.” latimes.com/projects/los-ang…

Everyone knows Lewis & Clark, but did you know that there was a black man who was also part of the expedition?
As he was enslaved by William Clark, he participated as a full member of the expedition & was present when the expedition reached the Pacific Ocean.

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."
Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."
The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.
Feeling incredibly grateful to know and learn from our incredible partners who are on the ground working to address health and social inequities in Los Angeles. Check out the article to learn more!

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
Disgusted. Many will be harmed, killed due to lack of access to care.
Other privacy rights are now on the table: same sex relationships & marriage, protection of contraception, Loving v. VA aka ability to marry who you want regardless of race. #RoeVsWade #AbortionIsHealthcare
BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade case, ending nearly 50 years of constitutional protections for abortion.
Bans are expected in roughly half the states. apne.ws/LjY3m25

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻
