Throwback to June 2020. We were a tiny but committed group at a random intersection in the valley. (Kenric was here too, just not pictured.) It was humbling, enlivening, affirming. A very small contribution to the movement but one we felt was necessary. It was a surreal experience to be right in the midst of that kind of #blackhistory being made. I’m filled with gratitude and respect for the shoulders we all stand on, for everyone who keeps fighting for change, and for those who had boots on the ground (and always will). Last day of #blackhistorymonth y’all. The revelation and celebration continues…✊🏽🖤

And to you my beautiful sister, I love you. Happy Valentine’s Day soul mate. ♥️ And to all of you, I hope you felt love, in all the ways. Good night. 🥰
Just a nugget of historical context. Grateful for it and for those who are fighting for The CROWN Act to ensure protection against the discrimination of race-based hairstyles in the workplace and in schools. I, like so many, had a long journey toward accepting the beauty of my natural hair, even while being made to believe it was ugly and unacceptable. This all feeds into why, as Burnham, having natural hair, and most recently a set of braids, means so much to me. It meant even more to proudly display them while sitting in the captain’s chair for the first time. I don’t take it lightly that I’ve celebrated this aspect of Black history and Black expression in an impactful place like the Star Trek franchise. Happy #blackhistorymonth everybody. 🖤✊🏽

10 days in, I’m behind so I’m gonna double time. I’ll start here. This emboldens me and soothes me at the same time. Thank you @reesewaters for sharing. Happy #blackhistorymonth y’all. 🖤✊🏽
A great friend of mine made a post this month about acknowledging what Black history lives in our own homes. What stories, trials, pains and victories are held in the memories of our family members. This was really inspiring to me because I often look outside of myself and my recent history to celebrate Black experiences and contributions to this country. (Thank you so much for that @alyshiasheree ♥️) My Mama, Daddy, and their parents all made everything out of NOTHING. My maternal grandmother picked cotton as a child and was a domestic worker for many years. A lady at the grocery store once said when I was a kid, proudly even, “Your granny sure knew how to pick cotton!” My paternal grandfather was a war veteran, there’s no telling what he endured. My Daddy was told as a child never to “look a White man in the eye.” He was moved by Malcolm X so much as a young man that he joined the Fruit Of Islam Guard in the Nation of Islam. My Mama’s senior year of high school was the year public schools were integrated in my hometown. My parents drank from the “Colored Only” water fountains, were denied access to public places, only went in the back doors, and were forced to sit in the rafters. And I know there are wrenching stories my grandparents never even told. This is where I come from. I salute and celebrate them. Their history is Black history is my history is our history.
