We all heard Donald Trump state (or tweet) that Americans shouldn’t worry about COVID..but what about the Americans that have died from it at a substantial rate? Systemic racism and inequality doesn’t stop with law enforcement, it also exists in the healthcare system.

Tomorrow should have marked the day for the second Presidential Debate, but with Trump being a punk, let’s reflect back on who exactly the “stand back and stand by” statement was directed to — they’ve been around longer than you think.

Last night’s “debate” further proved the need for EVERYONE WHO IS ABLE TO VOTE . . . TO VOTE! Swipe to learn a little bit more about names on the ballot beyond that of President.

Voting is your right! People have marched, protested, and even died for you to do so. We, at WTMA, challenge you to exercise this right. But don’t be fooled. The voting struggle still continues.

Listen, we are f #%*! #% tired of this narrative. We are tired of the viral exposure of Black people being slain in order for a majority of folks to have an ounce of care. When you see these stories and watch these videos - take action and DO MORE. Swipe to see how we can help with that.

Happy Wednesday (and back to school for some)! We at WTMA are also back in class - but that doesn’t mean our content will cease. Starting today, will feature one highlighted story and an occasional “did you know” that goes along with the topic. With that being said, let’s discuss racial terror.

SURPRISE! We’ve seen a lot of conversation around sexual coercion lately - what it is, how to identify it, and what we can do to combat it. Instead of making a post about it - why not discuss it! We hope you listen to become educated and then share to do the same for others. Click below to watch now!

WE ARE LIVE! with episode two of WTMA: We Need Protection, Too. There is a lot of much needed conservation about Black women, their experiences, and how they fit into the larger society. We wanted to sit down with some of our close friends to talk about those things — even the stuff that makes us uncomfortable.

Hi there! 👋🏾 we’ve seen an outpour of support and slew of new followers over the last few days. The goal of WTMA is to amplify the Black voice through stories - stories told by those who have shared experiences to the Black people in your own community. Our hope is by hearing these stories, many will come to realize that Black Lives Matter. The sooner everyone realizes this - the sooner we can achieve true racial reconciliation not only in America, but around the world.
