We did it! Black women made me believe in the power of unity especially in 2020! Georgia is Blue and the voter turn out was incredible thanks to black women!

I want to express appreciation for Stacey Abrams, Helen Butler, Tamieka Atkins, Deborah Scott, and Nsé Ufot for getting 800,00 Georgia voters registered.

Thank you Marica Lowe of The Purple Kitty for choosing Stacey Abrams book "Our Time is Now"!

Thanks Toni Watkins of The Georgia Project for being an activist, a world changer, and making a difference

Thanks Aisha Jordan of The Hashtag Show for your article How to Acknowledge Black Woman for their Role in 2020 Election

Let's get into it! Who are you surrounded by? What are you taking in? What are you tolerating? Do they stand for what matters? If your surroundings are not filled with people who are determined to address inequities in this world you have to decide if you will be the vehicle of change and transform a space or go to a space where the transformation is taking place but doing nothing is being complicit.

Despite the messages that constantly say otherwise we do matter! Your life matters, your vote matters, and your existence is essential! #blm #blacklivesmatter

2020 is a year of opportunity for change; we will have to vote for the presidential election, we will have to submit census data for 10 year funding, this country have be confronted with the skeletons of racism and exposed on a global level, and lives have been lost due to a global pandemic. Change is happening all around but some people feel the change is unsatisfactory and instead of advocating and taking action they become accomplices to injustice by disagreeing through think pieces or sharing in like-minded forums but not showing up to the polls to exercise the rights that so many people fight to have in this country.

The world is flipped upside down and there is nothing more important than making sure the future generation is prepared for the future that they will receive. Kali Richardson, motivational speaker and author, shares with us how to ensure readiness for our high schoolers and college students regardless of setting and situation.
