Shoutout to Dreisen Heath, one of the most visionary leaders in this fight. Her work bridges the UN accountability framework to domestic policy. She is the connective tissue.
Engage with her. Follow the work. reparationscantwait.org
Yesterday @attorneycrump.bsky.social —NBJC board member and Black America's attorney general—stood at the UN alongside President Mahama to advance reparatory justice on the world stage.

"Put the mirror back on yourself and ask: What do I need to work on?"
This is what protecting our babies actually looks like. Doing the work ourselves so we stop causing harm.
The more you heal, the more you realize how many unhealed people there are. 🤎
