Alicia Garza Instagram – Because my team be waaaay more organized than me 😂 I wanna thank yall for all the love and support and encouragement … I been getting texts and phone calls and all the things and I am grateful for each of you who took the time! I am really excited about the next era of leadership at @blackfutureslab and @black2thefutureaction and I’m not going far… I’ll be stepping into a Strategic Advisor role and joining the Board of Directors…and my badass colleague Kristin Powell will take the helm as the new Principal! Lemme tell you she is EVERYTHING plus some, and we love to see more Black women leading in abundance — rather than in crisis. You gon hear from us very soon and if you don’t know her yet, you will soon! Moving to JPB was not an easy decision for me to make, but I’m confident that it’s the right one, given the conditions that we are facing, and what we are up against. We need a movement that is strong enough and resourced enough to make big moves and win big wins. Some people make moves from their gig because they’re tired, or because there’s drama, or for a host of other reasons that involve rest. But for me, I’m more energized and more clear than ever before. I ain’t tired, ain’t no drama, we just over here doing work and ready to handle business! And the truth is — we need some clarity around the parts where the money is moving. So if you ready, I’m ready too. Feet on the ground, head in the sky, eyes on the prize. We got some winning to do!
