    @moemotivate is one of the fabulous Black women I’ve had the privilege to take courses with & learn from. Educate yourselves ⬇️ #Repost @moemotivate … Juneteenth is an important celebration in the Black community. Yet some of y’all are just now learning about it & now you have a day off bc it’s a federal holiday. White people will always find a way to commodify Blackness, exploit our liberation work, resist the actual work while benefiting from the oppression that we experience bc the work is not done. Much like white folks who enslaved Black people were paid reparations after the civil war. Here’s the thing, the problem isn’t with Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday. It’s the context in which it’s became a federal holiday. This is the pattern of whiteness—never actually doing what is necessary for Black liberation while instead only doing what is symbolic, performative, or beneficial to whiteness. For example: The painting of BLM on streets, meanwhile Black folks remain unhoused & continue to be evicted. The criminalization of poverty, the blaming Black folks for the racism we endure, instead of actually eliminating poverty & doing the necessary work for economic equity. Companies posting BLM hashtags & signs, meanwhile treating the few Black employees at their company as though they don’t matter. Folks wearing Kente cloth on National television, but not canceling rent during this pandemic. The full attack on CRT, which is a useful tool & body of work to help us understand systemic racism, such as reason why Juneteenth is so important. The refusal to abolish the police, cancel student debt, pay reparations, abolish prisons & so much more. Yet white folks are going to get a paid day off while Black folks remain underpaid & our labor exploited. We may be free from legalized chattel slavery, yet we are not free from the legacy of violence that the institution of slavery created and that continues to be perpetuated because of white supremacy. So instead of the performative & symbolic gestures, here are 9 things you can do to honor Juneteenth.

    "Be brave enough to hold on to the 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 that life will be beautiful again." 💙💛𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆💙💛 April 15th, 2015 marked the beginning of a new annual Boston tradition: One Boston Day. Each year, the day serves as an opportunity to celebrate the resiliency, generosity, and strength demonstrated by the people of Boston and those around the world in response to the tragedy of April 15th, 2013. I took this photo on April 15th, 2012... exactly one year before the bombing, and like so many things, Boston, my home, was never the same again. ❤️ This year is different than years prior to the pandemic, but I still find hope in seeing people spreading kindness, even as the pandemic continues. Wearing masks (less so now sadly), getting boosters. staying safe, testing, checking on friends, etc. 💛What's bringing you hope today?

    I used to think that the trials of living with mul I used to think that the trials of living with multiple sclerosis forced me to become brave and strong. Upon reflection, I’ve realized that I was brave all along and my disease has only highlighted my strengths. 🧡 (prompt from @tellherco & @hello_azureantoinette #tellherco1for30 ). 5 days of Iv steroids, running my own Iv meds at home for four days, lost track of how many Iv attempts… my leg is still weak but this hangover is damn strong. Thankfully, so am I 💪🏻

    #ThrowbackThursday Anyone else been putting off r #ThrowbackThursday Anyone else been putting off routine tests from the past two years?? I’ve had more MRI’s then I’d ever care to; but I’m going tonight for the first one since 12/2019. Umm… whoops 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve had flares without active lesions showing on my MRI, but I am afraid that I am having a flare up currently (and I’m clearly overdue for some imaging). I’ve been hesitant to admit it… I was hoping that the small skin infection I have was causing my trouble walking, but that’s nearly cleared up (with antibiotics) and my left leg still doesn’t want to cooperate with my right one. 🙄 Rude! I am going to tonight’s mri without attachment to the outcome. “No new lesions” won’t feel like a win for me tonight since I know I’ve had progression since my last scans… but I can’t say I’m hoping they see them either. It’s a weird feeling, ya know? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I may go for steroids either way but my dr and I will discuss it after the results are back. Till then, I’ll just keep breathing 🧡 #thisisms #msawarenessmonth #multiplesclerosis #butyoudontlooksick #invisibledisability #mswarrior #chronicallyill #autoimmuneawarenessmonth

    Discussing your illness, your disability, your cap Discussing your illness, your disability, your capabilities and needs or limitations is not inherently negative. ✨⁣ ⁣ For a long time, I avoided talking about the details of my MS, because I didn't want to make other people uncomfortable or be seen as negative. Well, if my actual life makes you uncomfortable, that's not my problem. 🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ And managing my disease and working with my body's needs is actually a positive thing... so it took me a while, but I'm glad I've (mostly) learned this lesson. 🧡⁣ ⁣ Do you ever feel like you need to 'hold back' or not mention anyting related to your illness so you don't seem negative? What's helped you overcome that stigma? ⁣ ⁣ #thisisms #chronicallyill #chronicillness #msawareness #msactivist #multiplesclerosis #butyoudontlooksick #wordstoliveby #tuesdaythoughts⁣ #invisibleillness #spoonie #spoonielife #livingmybestlife #mindsetmatters #selfgrowth #msawarenessmonth #msawarenessweek
    Are you serious about #BreakingBarriers? If you Are you serious about #BreakingBarriers? If you aren’t including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled women then your version of feminism is upholding inequity instead of improving the world for ALL. #Repost thank you @changecadet for this important reminder ・・・ Feminism centers heterosexual cisgender white women's experience and it was birthed from the suffrage movement. We know that BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled voices tend to be left out of some feminist's conversations. Intersectional "feminism centres the voices of those experiencing overlapping, concurrent forms of oppression in order to understand the depths of the inequalities and the relationships among them in any given context" (UN Women). Take the time to Google intersectional feminism and Kimberlé Crenshaw to learn more this women's history month. Then reflect on your intersectionality. Be uncomfortable. Do the work. #changecadet Image Description: White background with black sans serif font that says: If feminism was designed for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled women we wouldn't have intersectional feminism.

But mostly, I am beyond grateful for the experience, the hugs, and the mask free selfies 🧡🤳🏻 And of course, extremely grateful we can continue to use our voices to facilitate change VIRTUALLY!

    It’s understandable to feel helpless and hopeles It’s understandable to feel helpless and hopeless in this world. 💔While I can’t change the countless injustices happening worldwide, I have to continuously remind myself that I CAN use my story to help make life better for many people who are struggling. I’ve learned to accept many new realities since my multiple sclerosis diagnosis six years ago, but I REFUSE to accept the idea that a patient can lose access to the treatment that they and their doctor agree is best for them, because of arbitrary insurance changes. Thank you to @senjohnfkeenan and his team for not only sponsoring a state bill that will ensure continuity of care and medication for people with MS, but also for creating this series of videos highlighting our stories. 🧡 If you’d like to learn more or get involved check out the links in my bio. #MSAwarenessMonth
