As someone that grew up watching Old Hollywood films, Sidney Poitier was one of the few Black actors that I saw from that era ALLOWED to portray Black people in a realistic light. I saw myself in him. I saw every important Black man in my life in him. Thank you, sir, with love. RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022)

Hey friends, I know times are rough with everything going on in the news regarding the pandemic and how its being dealt with among other things.

I work at W*ole F*ods and at the beginning of the pandemic in March they gave us “heroes pay” for working during the pandemic but they stopped it on the first of June. The pandemic is still peaking as we speak, employees are contracting the virus and the company has hardly done anything to help their employees despite it being one of the richest in the world right now (thanks to J*ff B*zos).

If you take the time to sign this petition I started it would mean the world to me. Spread it to family and friends and people you may know that work at W*ole F*ods. All you need to do is sign, we’re not asking for donations.

Thanks <3
