I didn’t understand fully what was ha Having a Black candidate bc they’re Black isn’t how to attract Black voters. Many if not most Black folks (across the Diaspora) are culturally conservative, but not politically. It’s this nuance that is often missed. Talk of the need of a New Green Book in 2023 is why I take lengthy social media breaks. The tax on my peace is too high. #namaste #yogi 🧘🏽♀️ Fitness as therapy

Passion and truth telling, powerful combo. How is it Friday already?
