My 26-year-old brother got his COVID vaccine today.
For months he was adamant about not getting it.
It took two weeks of stepping into ‘big brother mode’ —- weeding out false info & making sure he comfortable to take this step when HE felt ready.

The first Black person to run a major cable news network—WOW.
TRUE STORY: in 2013, Rashida paid for me to go to a regional NABJ convention when I was a college student.
She didn’t have to, but she was looking out for me and I’m thankful.
Rashida Jones will become president of MSNBC in February, making her the first Black person to run a major cable news network
