It breaks my heart that Rep. Lewis spent these last years right back in the thick of the fight. It breaks my heart that he didn’t see us make it to the other side. It breaks my heart that he still had to carry the mantle. But I’m thankful he can now take rest after his labor.

“Do not get in a sea of despair. Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a week, a month, or a year, it is a struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” Rest John Lewis

1/ Chadwick Boseman died from colon cancer at 43. I am sad that this talented brother lost his earthly life to this disease at such a young age. Most of us don't know the details of the screening, diagnosis, and treatment journey he endured. #ColonCancer #SaturdayThoughts

Sadly, this is a prevailing thought that must be challenged at every turn.

Thank you for the reminder. Needed this.

This week, this year has been a roller coaster. Enjoying every bit of this moment. We deserve all the exhales, all the cheers of joy. #BidenHarris2020

We EACH have a role in building back better. My four “charges” for building a just future: 1) BE COURAGEOUS: be a truth-teller 2) BE CURIOUS: keep asking “Why?” 3) BE A CITIZEN: care about the whole 4) BUILD COMMUNITY: be interested, believe, and join in the stories of others
