So I decided I wanted to start eating better. No to lose weight… but I just don’t eat that well and I was like “hmm this probs isn’t great for my heart, my blood pressure, or my cholesterol.”
Every time I googled “heart healthy meals” they were geared toward weight loss.

As more Black women die during and after childbirth, Black doulas are more in demand. But they often feel that they’re supposed to save Black women from bad experiences.
I wrote about why they can’t fix Georgia’s abysmal maternal mortality rates alone.

Pharrell Williams’ cousin, Donavan Lynch, was killed by the police. Pharrell says the city is led by “toxic” leaders, which drove his decision not to bring the festival back the the 757, even though the leaders begged him to.
Something in the Water is nothing as of now.
Virginia Beach’s leadership learned last week that Pharrell Williams will not bring back the highly successful festival to the Oceanfront in 2022, and begged him in a letter to reconsider.

Black life is not a spectacle. Black Death is not a spectacle. Thankful for the Black journalists who amplified a message that we do not have to subject ourselves to the brutal beating death of Tyre Nichols.
We have never needed brutal imagery to know we’re telling the truth.

The average net worth of a Black family in Boston is $8. For Latino families, it’s $3. Boston has never had a mayor who was not a white man.
Boston is a city that rejects racism and bigotry in all its forms. We are a community that stands for social, economic, and racial justice.
I am grateful to our local athletes for being a role model for the rest of the country.
