Thank you Change.org for the continued support! VOTING RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS! VOTE NO ON SB7

Over the weekend, Democrats in the Texas House walked out during the vote on Senate Bill 7. Their walkout blocked the passage of a bill that would create new voting restrictions—limiting early voting hours, restricting vote-by-mail, and curbing local voting options. Monica and a group of women in Texas have been fighting against these voting bills for months. She's hoping this move by Texas Democrats will encourage other legislators to not pass this bill. Show your support by signing her petition and share this post to encourage the Texas House to vote NO on SB7. change.org/TexasVotingRights

Fight Voter Suppression in Texas. Sign our petition
(Link In Bio) Let’s all let our TX State representatives and legislators and know how we feel. We are their constituents and they are here to serve us. Many have fought and died to protect our voting rights. Let's stop the bills SB7 and HB6 which would limit our ability, as people of color, to equal access and convenient voting in Walker County!

My little Sissie’s birthday is here again! It’s honestly my favorite day of the year. It’s the day my best friend was born. We’re not twins but couldn’t be closer. I’ve shared my secrets, everything in the world I could ever be pi**ed about and overjoyed about...she’s my ace, my protector, my hero and the person that can make me laugh and feel loved even in my darkest hour. She’s strong and beautiful and I look up to her...even though she’s a lot shorter than me:))))) In my heart, she’s a 6 foot 5 inch lioness. Love you Cece. Thank you for being born! We’ve been together since 1976… the world feels less lonely and wayyyy more fun with you! - Love, Mimi


Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don’t believe I’m wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
- Maya Angelou

More About
Among our Beauty for Freedom, it's been such an emotional and confusing time for our communities and we wanted to address the police brutality and widespread systemic racism representing historical and current sources of trauma in communities of color.

We decided to go back to our communities of artists and thought leaders and have started a special Podcast series discussing Race Relations, political activism and the role of the arts and communication in healing; the first episode features Miguel Carter-Fisher, Professor at Virginia State University and Artist (Narrative Painter). This is our response to our current civil rights crisis, the collective trauma caused by inequality and violence, and processing our emotions throughout.
