We honor how Black people communicate with language that holds depth, sometimes rooted in trauma & survival from slavery. We uplift Black women’s truth however the fuck it comes out. If you call us cussing…🥰 #BlackWomenHealing #HealingWithoutJudgment #HumanityLeads #RawTruth

As a leading expert and critic I am heartbroken and outraged by the tragic loss of 13-year-old Naziya Harris, whose life was snuffed out right under our noses. Naziya was a child, deserving safety, love, and protection. #JusticeForNaziya #EndViolenceAgainstBlackWomen

BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced that he will retire from politics if he loses in November. Retweet so all Americans see this and get a little extra motivation to vote for Kamala Harris in November.

The apprehension of Sean Puffy Combs brings to light a larger issue. We must address misogyny. We must challenge societal norms that devalue and silence women, men, trans, non-binary, and marginalized people. It's time for real change.

When I first introduced the Violence Against Women Act in 1990, too few thought the government had a role in ending violence against women. Not me. 30 years after VAWA's passage, we mark the legacy of that life-saving law – and the courageous women who fought for it.
