    It's been 6 years since I tweeted this & it has changed the trajectory of my life. - I started Black People Will Swim - Taught nearly 3,500 ppl how to swim - We've hired over 20 Black and Brown lifeguards and swim instructors - Received over $500K in grants Ask about me πŸ˜‰
    My goal is to teach 30 black people how to swim this summer and I'm trying to come up with a hashtag for this campaign. feedback is welcome

    seeing DJ Khaled's now deleted video is a reminder that people will encourage you to win... as long as you're not beating them.

    As a woman who has a car and drives daily, I've dealt with my fair share of men at auto body shops & gas station who prey on women. For my ladies, here's a thread on basic things you should know about fixing your car.

    With the premiere of Moesha on Netflix, can’t help but think about Merlin Santana (Ohagi, Moe’s first bf and played Romeo on the Steve Harvey Show) who was wrongfully killed in 2004 at the age of 26.

    after all these years of the media confusing Amber Riley and Raven Goodwin, we finally (!!) get a movie with them called #SingleBlackFemale, where Amber's character infiltrates and tries to become Raven's character's.
