🌟✨ Happy New Year, 2025! ✨🌟

My sisters! Let this year be one of rest, renewal, and reclaiming your peace. 🌿 Your mental health is not a luxury—it’s a priority. Take time to pour into yourself unapologetically.

đź’ˇ 2025 Affirmation:
“I choose rest without guilt. I honor my boundaries. I create space for my joy, my growth, and my healing.”

This year, let’s celebrate the power of saying no, the magic of stillness, and the beauty of caring for our minds and spirits. Here’s to walking in peace, holding onto hope, and thriving in our authenticity.

Shirley Chisholm opened doors for future generations with her brilliance and boldness.

As President of the Senate, I was honored to sign the Shirley Chisholm Congressional Gold Medal Act, which grants the late Congresswoman Chisholm the highest civilian award Congress can bestow.

Let’s talk about it out loud!! Another election, another moment when white women took to the polls and voted overwhelmingly to preserve the status quo—and by that, we mean Donald Trump (again?!). Despite every warning, every painstakingly patient conversation, and every opportunity for allyship, a majority of white women have shown, yet again, where their loyalties lie. Black women, on the other hand, did what we always do: showed up, showed out, and tried to save the world. But now, the election’s over, and the workplace, the PTA meetings, the yoga studios, and all those shared spaces we navigate daily are about to get…complicated.

So, how do Black women move forward in these spaces? How do we reconcile being side-eyed at the polls with needing to co-exist in everyday life? Let’s break it down.

Today, we honor the power of rest as resistance and healing for Black women everywhere. Our contributions are vast, our strength is unmatched, and our wellness matters.

Let this day serve as a reminder: rest is not just a luxury—it’s a right. Step away from the demands of the world, take a moment to breathe, reflect, and restore your spirit.

Together, we reclaim rest as an act of self-preservation and collective liberation.

As we examine how the media covered this election, we must recognize how unconscious bias played out in the narratives surrounding Harris’ candidacy. Here, we explore specific examples from the campaign and discuss Black women’s opportunity to reshape and reclaim these narratives.

🗣️ Listen, we need to talk. Not in a “we’re gonna dance around the issue” kind of way, but in a “let’s lay it all out on the table and spill the tea” kind of way. Election after election, white women have shown us a pattern, and it’s not cute. And you know what? We’re tired.

Let’s get into this performative allyship thing because y’all love an accessory.
