as an artist yes, but also as a negotiator, a conversationalist, a charmer. Quincy Jones is a person i often reported to, a person who encouraged me (without sentiment). He was a networker, a knower of his worth, and a valiant enforcer of the true value of Black music and culture

“You’ve got to be seen in green!” The levels of ways that Quincy Jones influenced culture is hard to even begin to process

Losing the giants and greats like Quincy Jones will aways hit different. Mainly because that type of genius and music education is not being replenished or held in high regard nowadays like it should be.

Watch this today. It’s a fantastic documentary on @Netflix Strong Black Lead. No matter how much you think you know, you’re going to learn something. Rest in everlasting power, Mr. #Quincy Jones.

Been thinking about this all day. Even with all the odds stacked against us and with less resources and support than all who came before us had, we rise to the occasion every single time.

Our ancestors walked miles to vote. Learned to read to be able to vote. Harassed, murdered, driven from their homes, for voting. I am OVERWHELMED that I could just stroll in & get a sticker, unbothered. They went through so much for US 😭😭😭😭 how do we repay them?

A damn shame.

Whatever the result, it will never not be absolutely terrible that it’s even this close.

Y'all... it's SOOOOOOOO early. Please don't stress yourselves out with these numbers.

A reminder. There's a reason for the "stay calm" messaging. Also, expect Trump to declare victory TONIGHT. Don't fall for it. Hold steady. Wait for the full count.

Thoughts and prayers, America

we're going to hear all these things that democrats need to do and who they needed to reach, but you can't defeat racism in this country. trump did and said every vile thing imaginable with zero plans for this country, and people loved it because he is peak white privilege.

Black Women: I know we are tired. We carry so much of “do the right thing” on our backs. We did the right thing. So if today is just a day for you to EXIST, in whatever emotional state you are… Then just B E. I love yall. ❤️

Dems have an image problem, but I need everybody on the left to finally have a come to Jesus moment: THIS WAS A VOTE FOR WHITE SUPREMACY & PATRIARCHY. Y'all doing a whole lot of "wake up" talk while keeping blinders on about the clearest, most key fact in all of this.

Kendrick saw Kamala and Mike Tyson lose back to back and was like ENOUGH, MY PEOPLE NEED A W. THEY NEED ME😭

Costco showing all the other cowardly corporations how you shut down the segregationist anti-DEI losers in this country.

Absolutely nothing makes sense.
