As we honor Dr. King today, and I reflect on his legacy, I am rejecting the romanticism surrounding his life. What we tend to do with leaders of this magnitude is deify them, and I believe it’s unfair.

I am more interested in Dr. King-the person. While an extraordinary man, he was just a man, with a family, hobbies, feelings, insecurities. I’m thinking today of the immense pressure he must have been under-all the time. What a burden! A burden he was willing to shoulder, nonetheless.

Bernice King often talks about the fact that while her father is exalted NOW, that at the time of his assassination, he was one of the most hated men in the world.

Imagine that. Imagine doing this work, and having to battle attacks coming from every direction-even from your own people.

When I think of Dr. King, I’m overwhelmed with immense gratitude and adoration, not only because of the work that he did, but because he was merely a man, navigating his own humanity, while others probably ignored it often. Still, he pressed on. And THAT is what I am reflecting on today.

Thank you, Dr. King. ✊🏾🙏🏾

This is called PROPAGANDA. In case anyone was wondering.

Create a problem. Then get credit for “resolving it.”

Trump and the TikTok CEO are in cahoots. Trump’s “efforts” consisted of him receiving a bootlicking and a check. That’s it. lol

Also, be prepared for even MORE disinformation to be pumped out on TikTok now.

Propaganda: information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the path to the most rewarding things isn’t one of convenience. Good morning! ✨☀️

The Black Girl Social Club recently made a donation to our local Chapters doing the work on the ground in LA, and the surrounding communities. While we are honored to support as much as possible during this time, this is definitely a community effort.

At the link in our bio, you will find individual Go Fund Me accounts that have been set up by families living in the historically Black neighborhood of Altadena, California. If you can support, we are sure these grieving families would greatly appreciate it.

Community is all we got-When We Are One, We Win 💗🙏🏾

My mama is officially retired yall. We had a little party for her. What a blessing it is to see your parent get to live life on their terms after spending a majority of their lives keeping YOU alive. Love this for her. Called her this week to ask her what she was doing. She said whitening her teeth and doing Pilates. I know that’s right! Go girl! 🎉

Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank GOD 🙏🏾

Hey man-humbled every single day to know that the organization I birthed 5 years ago has been the places it’s been and seen the places it’s seen.

Today, in the city of MIAMI, it’s BGSC DAY! 🎉🎉🎉

If you’re out there, celebrate for us one time. I’ll be out there later this month. One thing I’ve learned over the last 5 years is you gotta celebrate yourself or the world will have you thinkin you haven’t done nothing worth celebrating. Cheers to 🫶🏾🍾

“Overnight” success = 10 years or more in the making. While is my baby, it didn’t make me. I, along with the help of the people in my network made me who I am. Hard work, trying and failing, late nights, fearlessness and unparalleled PASSION got me to this point. Can’t wait to see what the next 10 years have in store as I work to be impactful and create the things that people who loop like me need 💗

When First Lady, Michelle Obama said we should “Go High,” I understood the sentiment. She was right, we shouldn’t become the people we despise. We shouldn’t stoop THAT low.

HOWEVER, things have changed. The landscape has changed. We are no longer playing on a “fair” playing field. This is the Wild Wild West. Period.

Spare me the pearl clutching! Democrats need to know when it’s no longer feasible to “go high.” And now is the time. We have a President Elect who is a felon. The “rules” are out of the window.

We have WAY bigger fish to fry. Period!

TODAY, opens for new Members. December marks year 5 for us. It’s been such a beautiful, tumultuous, enlightening, exhilarating, painful journey. Anybody who’s ever birthed something like this knows what I mean. But this time is special because my friend, the person who eventually became my COO is back to help me put the pieces back together-after things fell apart. She and I went our separate ways, but GOD shook things up so much so that we had to come back to where we started from. Ain’t that funny? We got a story to tell.

In the meantime, join us. We’re not perfect, but we’re damn sure authentic. 💖
