Admitted into the hospital @LuminisHealth and in my rm by 1AM. It’s 12PM (11hrs later) and I still haven’t seen a Dr to discuss my health plan or if I’m having surgery. Is this what everyone goes thru or just black women? #blackinthehospital

Last week it was arm the teachers. This week it's arm the doctors. But when that white supremacist shot up the black grocery store, guess what they didn't say:
Arm the black people.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

Thoughts and prayers are nice but where’s the policy change. This fleeting care and outrage will fade. For most, it’s performative. Then we will be right back here again. Where’s the action? Do something dammit! ❤️🖤💚✊🏾

A so-called accident that happens more than once, is now called an intentional decision.

I stopped rushing to answer the needs of people who can’t say Hi or thank you. I no longer make people who lack outer-awareness a priority.

Stop expecting the truth from people who’ve showed you that they can’t be honest with themselves.
Reminder for the day: Self Care is Protecting your Peace! Create boundaries for ppl that are always negative and drain energy from the room. Don’t let them in your circle- you have work to do and they will hold you back. Positivity is a choice!

Good energy and positive vibes are the only waves I’m on. Obstacles will arise, but I can’t live in them. Move forward and choose happiness at all costs. 🙏🏾

And it all requires your attention and commitment.
Great principals care about everything. Clean windows matter. The sounds in the hall matter. Lunch matters. Who coaches your kids matters. Who answers your phones matter. The lighting in the building matters. How ppl talk to them and they talk to ppl matters. It all matters.

DCPS will be closed tomorrow in celebration of #Juneteenth being a federal holiday. All DCPS schools and Central Office will be closed and no in-person or virtual instruction will take place.
Today was rough! It’s hard to focus & hear when your office @Powellelem is 86 degrees at 1PM and you have a spot cooler and a fan in the background. @DCDGS @dcpublicschools it’s been 5 years!
