My condolences to the family and friends of #AngelaBuxton after her passing 8/14/20 She was laid to rest today. Angela was a British tennis player who championed the friendship and support of #AltheaGibson when no one else would, in a racist era in our sport in the ‘50’s. #RIP 🙏🏽

I don’t typically get into politic but after hearing this, I am beyond furious. Not being able to have children myself, how dare anyone, in particular a USA VP candidate by the name of JD Vance, call me or anyone else in my situation “childless cat ladies who are miserable at.
Vice President @KamalaHarris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.
