It's time for a... #digitaldetox 24 hours. Don't worry, you ain't gone miss nothin. It'll be here when you get back. Take care of yourself instead.

Style Inspiration: can anyone help me find EITHER of these dresses?? I love how playful they are and the colors. Tag me and I'll buy! #styleinspo #getithowyoulive #clutchtomatch 💃👠😎

So grateful for the chance to join this retreat over the weekend. To learn from these passionate women doing powerful work at @three_walls in Chicago! Sometimes I need to be reminded to #trusttheprocess believing that new opportunities don't always look like the one before it. But if the mission aligns with my personal vision then it's time to say yes to it. Don't question it! Pictured here is the new team (including me, vitrual communications) while we visit the @lyndensculpturegarden and intentional work by For Wilson, plus strategize over meals and green space! 😎

I don't care about this holiday y'all. My absolute least favorite. #Repost @rolandsmartin (@get_repost) ・・・ When America celebrated Independence Day on July 4, 1776, people of African descent were mired in 157 years of bondage. They were neither free nor independent. It would be another 87 years before they celebrated “freedom.” In Texas, it took another two years. But they still were not “free.” The 10-12 years of Reconstruction - along with the 13th,14th and15th Amendments - began to add pieces to that freedom. Yet that ended with The Great Compromise of 1877, which ushered in Jim Crow. It was another 90 years before more bills were passed to grant freedom. And even though the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 1965 Voting Rights Act, the 1968 Fair Housing Act added more pieces to that freedom, the descendants of those Africans who were enslaved in America, are still in pursuit of true freedom and independence. Let us not be blinded by the red, white and blue flags billowing in the wind. Independence Day means something different for African Americans. That’s not my opinion. That’s HISTORY. Please read Frederick Douglass’ “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” speech, delivered on July 5, 1852. https://bit.ly/1qp0TkP He gave this speech on the 76th Independence Day to the Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society in Rochester, New York. I wonder if @realDonaldTrump and Republicans will claim Douglass and that speech on this day! Read it, folks. It IS American history!

If you're looking for something different, a place to connect with folks on a mission, join us! Expect yoga, yummy food, music and conversation. Someone will be handing out free hugs guaranteed! 😊

About last night... Celebrating 30 years young for @ladeebailey and childhood friends. And we danced all night! #Journeyto30
