As we continue to generate awareness around #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, here’s my piece in today’s @NYDailyNews nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-o…
Congratulations to my friend, @pesachosina, on his big victory tonight.
Pesach has a proven record of showing up for our community, not for the titles, the paycheck, or the fanfare, but because he is committed to the people he serves. I look forward to working with him.
What a night. For New York, for our country, and for every child waking up tomorrow with a bigger idea of what’s possible.
To everyone who has been overlooked, tonight’s historic victories belong to you. Now comes our responsibility to make sure your government does, too.
So proud of the race you’ve run @willjawando !! Bring it home. 🙏🏾
Honored to have the support of my brother, @iamwesmoore!
Just nine days and a wake-up left until the finish line, and we aren't letting up for a second. Make your plan to vote today!

So powerful! HBCUs are always activated. I think back to our @RockTheVote efforts on the campus of my beloved @wilberforce_u . Do boo, vote!
Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state.

Happy Sabbath! 🙏🏾 Today, I hit the pavement with @AdrienneEAdams. Grateful for the faith, prayers, and support as we head into ONE WEEK until #EarlyVoting. Let’s keep pushing—this work is bigger than us!

This is absolutely horrific. Sexual violence of any kind is not acceptable & no one should have to fear for their safety. I pray law enforcement swiftly identifies & apprehends those responsible. My thoughts are with this candidate as she recovers from this traumatic experience.
I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear this news, and I’m thinking of Bernadette and her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
We cannot tolerate political or sexual violence in any form. Those responsible must be held accountable.
Thank you for speaking out, Bernadette. We're with you. phoenixnewtimes.com/news/con…

New York, let’s gather! ✨
Honored to be a host for Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate this Wednesday in Midtown. Join us for an evening with @AngieNixon as she shares more about her vision for working-class Floridians.
Hope to see you there! #WomenLead secure.actblue.com/donate/th…

I’m watching “Why Did I Get Married Again?” while riding @MTA on Netflix. Please, do not disturb ☺️🫥

Very real. I can certainly identify with this. My parents worked long shifts. I can’t recall one track meet they were able to attend but know that they were making the sacrifice to provide for our family. It builds a certain level of resilience in a person for sure.
Deion Sanders opens up about how the independence responsible for much of his success can become a weakness when leading other people
“Every time I talk about this, I almost break down… No one ever came to see me play in high school. My mama was working. My father was doing his thing. My stepfather never came because he was doing his thing.”
“I had to build up this dude inside of me that didn’t need nobody. I don’t need your handclaps. I don’t need your, ‘You go, boy.’ I don’t need nothing from you.”
“I had to look in that mirror and reconcile with him. Ain’t nobody going to be here. Ain’t nobody came to see me play basketball. Ain’t nobody came to see me play baseball.”
“So I really don’t need that. But some do. I can’t put you in the box with me… To think you feel like I feel… And you can go like I go…”
“Because I’m running on a different type of fuel than you are.”
“My coaches may need it. My kids may need it. My administrators may need it.”
“I’ve got to understand that they’re not me. That’s been the hardest thing to reconcile. We’re totally different. We move totally different. We think totally different.”
