For the past few months, I've been following four Black Altadena families who have been deeply impacted by the recent Eaton Fire. afrolanews.org/2025/04/three-…
Today would have been Emmett Till’s 84th birthday:
Remembering Emmett Till on his birthday Emmett Louis Till July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955 #EmmettTill
....and there will be men (and women) on here and in this world who will say that surfacing this 2003 clip is somehow an attack on the Black man and cancel culture at work, as if this kinda perversion expires and one suddenly becomes "good." gross man. then and now.

Black farmers are losing more federal support as the USDA eliminates 12 Regional Food Business Centers across the country. These centers helped launch new farms and food businesses, business and marketing support. NEW: capitalbnews.org/black-farmers-…
I’m really not a fan of AI. The way it’s unregulated, how quickly it’s taking over, and how much it damages the environment doesn’t sit well with me. I do my best to use it as little as possible.
Give the kids structure in a positive environment. Nurture their creativity. Develop their confidence & independence. Not only because evidence shows it leads to crime reduction and improved academic performance, but because they deserve safe, enriching, engaging opportunities.
Baltimore has been investing youth programming, including late night programs, summer camps, teen jobs, sports, after school programs, etc. Homicides in the city are down 40%, with steep drops in robberies, carjackings, and shootings. This should be talked about more.

Venus Williams came back to tennis because she needed health insurance. I just learned that she has Sjögren's syndrome and fibroids which both impact her ability to play tennis. MY GOAT still made history as the oldest player to win a singles match on the WTA tour since 2004.
Coco Jones Meg the Stallion Taylor Rooks The fine black women getting up out of here >>>
The only thing that made y’all think she would otherwise were unfounded rumors and fantasies about her with white men lol she said herself that she dates Black men
Taylor Rooks married a black man???

The GIRLS are finding love and getting married!
When you can do everything plus some a man can do for you and they cant lead with financial security or providing a lifestyle to you (cause you already provide that for yourself) , and just have to show up as their authentic self, they get a little insecure (in my experience)
😂 buckle up, sis.

High yellow men up 300 this summer, wtf
