CEO, @NewGAProject + @NGPAction. Registering and engaging voters across Georgia. African-American with an equal emphasis on both. Views are mine.

The nation is realizing what we have known all along: Georgia is a battleground state. Thanks to the relentless work done toward investing in & turning out voters of color. Senator-elect Raphael Warnock’s win is an extraordinary moment in Georgia’s & our country’s history.

I’m supposed to be ✌🏾resting✌🏾. Just popped in to say that @SenatorWarnock, son of Savannah + Morehouse, @staceyabrams’ successor as NGP’s board chair, and Senior Pastor at Ebenezer Baptist, presided over the United States Senate today. #WhatATimeToBeAlive.
Amazing to see @SenatorWarnock – sworn in last week as Georgia’s first Black senator – presiding over the Senate this morning.

The polls are now closed, but the work WILL continue. We are undoing a history of suppression and injustice in Black and Brown communities. The changes that we are now seeing didn’t happen overnight and it wasn’t solved with just one vote.

Just hopped out of the ancestor group chat. JL said keep his name out of your mouth while you dismantle his life’s work. Barry Goldwater said he’s proud of you + hell is not as hot as ppl make it out to be. What is it that folks in Phoenix say? It’s a✌🏾dry heat✌🏾.
Our nation lost a civil rights giant one year ago today. John Lewis was a personal hero of mine -- a man of principle and courage, who encapsulated all the qualities of a true leader. Rest in power, my dear friend.
