Borders was working as a legal assistant for Bank of America on Sept. 11, 2001. Her office was on the 81st floor of 1 World Trade Center when terrorists attacked the twin towers with a pair of commercial airplanes. Then 28, Borders forced her way down the stairwell to the street and stepped onto the sidewalk just as the south tower began to fall. A stranger pulled her into the lobby of a nearby building as the other tower began to tumble, and photographer Stan Honda snapped a photograph.

The ghostly shot of Borders, dust-caked and stunned, became one of the most vivid images of the terrible tragedy that took more than 2,900 innocent lives. Borders was haunted by her experiences on 9/11, struggling with addiction and depression for more than a decade. In 2011, she checked into rehab and remained sober, she told The Jersey Journal last year.

Actually gorgeous

Black women continue to bless the world

So obviously im not the most modest person in the world but I tweak most things anyway and im proud of my body 🤷🏾‍♀️…My PERSONAL rule has always been to limit my sexy to two areas which is enough to spark curiosity at best but still feel covered (i.e. Cleavage and a thigh slit, back and stomach, or thigh slits on a fitted dress) While I’ve thought about modeling, my personal rule only allows me to take it so far but im also waving at 30 sooooo 😬 #femininity like a mf 😜

IF YOU DIDN’T LEARN FROM THE LAST TIME, HERE’S YOUR REMINDER

Hey, U.S. Tumblrs. Your country needs you. 

In just about six weeks, on November 6, you will have the privilege of exercising your right to vote in the midterm elections. You, the people, will determine one-third of all U.S. senators and all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. And we want you to feel empowered as hell as you make it happen.

But you can only make a difference if you’re registered to vote.

National Voter Registration Day is on September 26. 

Take a few minutes right now and visit NVRD (@nationalvoterregistrationday) to register anytime between now and then. Don’t forget: if you’ve recently changed your name or moved across state lines, you need to update your registration. Have questions? @plannedparenthood wants to help! This Monday, September 24, they will be answering your questions about voting. Go ahead and head over to their ask box now. 

What else can you do?

Stay informed. Over the next six weeks, right up until election day, we’re going to highlight and partner up with a number of organizations that can help you stay educated about issues that matter most. We’ll put a spotlight on some of our old favorites for educational resources, like @everytown for sensible gun laws and Fight for the Future (@fight4future) for net neutrality. You can also look forward to hearing more from:

Women — There are more women running for office in 2018 than there has ever been in U.S. history. Huffington Post and and MAKERS (@makerswomen) will be interviewing some of these incumbents and newcomers.

Headcount — Headcount (@thefutureisvoting) stages voter registration drives at concerts and runs programs that translate the power of music into real action. Their goal? Change the culture of voting to turn every election—local, state, and federal—into an event worth celebrating. It shouldn’t feel like a chore. 

When We All Vote — @whenweallvote is a new national, nonpartisan, not-for-profit that promises to spark new conversation around the responsibilities we all share in shaping the promise of our democracy.  Namely, the responsibility of registering and voting. 

#VoteTogether — #VoteTogether offers grants of $2,500 to local organizers to hold and promote nonpartisan block parties near polling places. This year Tumblr will be the financial sponsor and partner of two #VoteTogether events.

10/25 — Black Girls Vote + Tumblr present: #VoteTogether in Baltimore. BGV focuses on organizing Black women across the country to participate in local, state and national elections. Tumblr will be supporting BGV for an all-day event led by 50 of their student leaders from Morgan State University.  We will then lead a march to the polls followed by a #VoteTogether block party with announcements of scholarships for some of the incredible students.

10/27 —  Equity Alliance + Tumblr present: #VoteTogether in Nashville. This year will be Equity Alliance’s third #VotingIsLit celebration. EA is planning on hosting a Halloween-themed and family friendly event in the Antioch neighborhood of Nashville, and we want to see you there. The spookiest costume? A person who forgot to register to vote by September 26, National Voter Registration Day.

Be on the lookout for more information on these events in the coming weeks! We want you there.

Phew. That was a lot. We know. But this is important stuff. The past few years may have felt particularly exhausting to you. You’re not alone. Take care of yourselves however you can, and remember that you and your vote matter. Let your voice be heard.

And one more time, for good measure: 

National Voter Registration Day is on September 26.

It feels so good to finally feel like I’m moving forward you don’t understand. Stagnation has always been one of my biggest fears and motivators.
