The break I needed…between running an organization, taking care of my dad who is dying of pancreatic cancer, trying to remain hopeful and clear and hold the big picture while navigating a world that is heartbreakingly cruel and unjust, life has been a lot. A lot of days feel like one foot in front of the other but I was committed to getting on that plane. I’m glad I did. Barbados, you owe me absolutely nothing. Thank you for letting me soak up your sun, cleanse in your waters, and thank you for reminding me that always everywhere all the time there is joy and the infinite possibilities for freedom. Thank you to my most gracious host for creating space for me to breathe. Even your mosquitos were mostly kind.

43 today and grateful. 43 doesn’t feel like such a big age, but I’m older than I am younger and when my mama was 43 she had a whole 16 year old on her hands and lord when I think about having a 16 year old at this tender age I thank you for protecting me from myself 😂 Every year on my birthday we had the same routine…she knew how much I loved my birthday and so she was always the first to call. “Happy birthday babygirl!” she would exclaim. And I would reply “Thank you for giving birth to a legend!” And she would laugh that sweet laugh. I would try to convince her to come out to whatever I was doing so that she could be celebrated. Most of the time she would oblige. I miss that woman so much… 2023 was an epic year. This was the year I really learned to embrace my no, and make room for my yes. There’s folks that were in my life this time last year that ain’t there this year and to be clear, I’m ok with that. Because the people that are here are world class. This year’s mantra is “wait for it…” cuz you betta believe we standing on business this year…been on that since I was 2 and if you don’t believe me check the photos. Y’all know I always come with receipts. If you have loved on me, kicked it with me, taught me, listened to me, sat in silence with me, porch karaoked with me, eaten with me, told somebody with a big mouth and a lot of hot air to fuck off in defense of me, handled business with me — I thank you. Y’all mean more to me than you will ever know. And as always, big thanks to my mama — mumsie, we just getting started. 🥰😘

I’m proud of the work we do at @blackfutureslab to grow and support Black organizing. With so much at stake in 2024, we committed to not just talking about it — but being about it. Everyone is stressed out about what Black men gon do in 2024, and the answer is simple — Black men gon organize. That’s why we moved $1.4 million dollars to organizing Black men. We’re proud to support these groups to help bolster their already incredible work investing in Black male voters, and you should too. Congratulations to the crew, and we look forward to working with you and learning from you — let’s go!
