So many women can relate to the notion of not giving ourselves enough credit. @badassboz shares what it takes to not shrink in those moments on the My Legacy Podcast.🎧

Nonviolence is just as much of a practice as it is a philosophy. Freedom schools were physical and spiritual training to prepare for protests.

58 years ago, MLK Jr. delivered his speech called "The Other America."
There's no question that racism still permeates our society, but we must ask ourselves, "Are we going to change the course of history once and for all?" or "Are we going to continue the cycle of hatred that destroys generations?"

"The whole theory of right of free speech is not your right to speak, but my right to hear." ~Anne Braden

History has lessons worth revisiting.

The Perversion of Woke The diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) backlash is cloaked in phrases like “wokeness” in a crusade to pervert culture as a call for justice.

The DEI rollbacks you’ve seen aren’t random. This report lays out the pattern, the players, and why the ripple effects may be wider than most people realize. Read more: www.splcenter.org/resources/re...

Black women suffered the largest employment loss in 2025 among any other demographic. The fallout from DEI rollbacks is no longer theoretical.

When women rise, communities form. The Divine Feminine is asking us to listen, to hold, to build differently.

It may be April Fool's Day, but the state of our country is no joke.

We must act now to protect access, defend our democracy, and ensure every voice is heard. Our ancestors sacrifices for our civil rights cannot go in vain.

This is a lesson we taught our daughter, Yolanda, that I think everyone can take something from.

Both are necessary. Conflict tests love, and love gives conflict something worth fighting through.

It takes real strength to choose love in the face of hate.

Love and conflict are inseparable; they exist in tension, like fire and ice. You don’t get one without the other. The beauty isn’t in avoiding either, but in how we move between them.

One solution that never loses its power is choosing to dedicate our time to serving others. Service sharpens our purpose.

The SAVE Act is threatening the backbone of our American identity, the right to vote.

MLK once said, "The denial of this sacred right is a tragic betrayal of the highest mandates of our democratic tradition."

Give Us the Ballot.

Nonviolence is the most powerful tool we have against oppression.

The Divine Feminine practices agapè love, not as self-erasure, but as sacred strength.

The strength to remain open in a world trained to harden.
The courage to protect life without dominating it.
The wisdom to refuse violence, even when provoked.

It's never too late to start over.

In Zarna Garg's memoir, "This American Woman" she wrote about what she wanted people to know about starting over when you feel like you've "missed your window."

You've heard me say this before, but I can't say it enough. Gen-Z has fewer rights today, than the day that they were born.

But the thing that always gives me hope is how bold, unapologetic and dedicated they are to organizing and building a future they can believe in.

Justice is what love looks like in the public arena.

Legacy is not about leaving your name on a building.

It's about how you live your life every day.
It's an invitation to this idea of the King legacy.

We will only create the Beloved community when each of us lives out our power, potential, and love.

Today, we face President Trump trying to pass the SAVE act, which would roll voting rights back in a way we haven't seen in generations. Just like in 1965, we have to do our part to make our voices heard. Creatively and nonviolently, we can protect our right to vote.

Two photos with two very different consequences.

61 years ago, President Johnson addressed a Joint Session of Congress, urging them to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965 after the nation witnessed violence against peaceful protestors marching across the Selma Bridge in Alabama.

The end of American democracy was predicted over a decade ago by my mentor C.T. Vivian, a lieutenant of Martin Luther King Jr.

The ones who fought for it know better than anyone else what democracy in danger looks like.

As a White Southerner in the 1960s, she dared to join forces with people who sought a Beloved Community when it was highly unpopular. On #WomensHistoryMonth, I'm honoring her legacy of activism and bravery to envision a brighter future.

The divinity of human beings lies in their ability to imagine a better world in the most dire situations.

This was the driving force behind the activism of my mentor, Anne Braden.
