In the deepest pocket of my laptop bag, I kept my wedding band from the marriage to my ex-wife. It sat there hidden and never spoken of but in all honesty, I knew it was there. A constant reminder of what I viewed as a failure on my part. As I build with the love of my life, I noticed I was holding onto the the insecurities, the doubt, the heart break, spiritual and emotional baggage. I have so many insecurities about relationships of every sort that I've made horrible decisions as a sort of self sabotage to go around because Inever let it all go. (Don't get me wrong, not every relationship faltered due to my inability to cope or was built on broken principles) I can look back and say I could have made better choices. I say that not to expose cracks in my foundation but to remind us all that we can't move forward until we are putting in the work to do so. Faith without works is dead and praying is great but work is always needed for our completion of God's promise! #putinwork #faithfully #dowork #staygolden https://www.instagram.com/p/CHyiLc0JFum/?igshid=1nchn7nh626i9

"To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time." - James Baldwin We waited this long to be told her life didn't matter.

Sometimes my anxiety makes my throat tight and it's hard to breathe. I end up throwing up because I can't seem to make myself breathe properly. I calm myself by listening to podcast or watching youtube. It drowns out my thoughts in my head. I never think of harming myself, just wish I had a switch to lower the volume so I can function as a human. When it hits, I normally wanna sleep through it but it'salways there when I wake up. I loose my appetite, I stutter, I become forgetful and it's hard to focus. It sucks because I just wanna detach from the world by burying myself in a crowd full of screaming people. It feels like I could actually be at peace there. I tend to shut people out that I should bring closer to me and then surround myself with people I have less of a commitment to because in this state, I feel I'll be judged less harshly. The whole time, I have support but in those moments, my brain just hears the fears of just being. Every photo was taken on a day where my anxiety and/or depression got the best of me at some point in that day. I try to do smile checks to remind myself of who I am as to not be defined by those moments. I know that may have been heavy for some but I pray it lifted a slight burden for others thinking it's only them. I love you all and I just want to remind you: "Everybody's somebody's everything... Nobody's nothing." - Chance The Rapper #mentalhealthcheckin #blackmentalhealthmatters #staygolden https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKcutJJ4ym/?igshid=41gnd0t7h7zf

You would think some things are self explanatory but I'd be a liar if I said I haven't let anyone down before. #beintentional #dobetter #staygolden https://www.instagram.com/p/CE12KGUp8Pf/?igshid=1w69jvypjdkcs

I know quarantine life isn't for everyone but there's a reason everything isn't back to normal. Take your time rushing out just to have your favorite margarita at your favorite spot. If it's meant to be, then that spot will be there. Dying for the economy will not make most families richer. #stayhappyandhealthy #staysafe #coronavirus #covid_19 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYGTGVpADt/?igshid=186gwrfckip68

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." - Martin Niemöller, a German theologian speaking on not speaking up to rebuke the the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany before WWII broke out. I know it's black history month but I've always loved this quote. Hindsight can be a cheap way of helping us stay seated when others may need a helpful voice of support as representation. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Roi5TJznh/?igshid=3n9cl8ualwcl

National Voter Registration Day is Sept. 24
It’s a single, coordinated day when THOUSANDS of nonprofits across the country join corporations like Tumblr, Google, EBay, MTV and more to raise awareness of and hold events to register as many eligible voters as possible! Why is voter registration important? If you’re interested in having a say in WHO gets to confirm judges, create budgets for police and education in YOUR neighborhood, you’ll need to vote in November. But you can’t vote if you’re not #VoteReady – which means: go get registered! This year, we’re aiming for over 250k registrations and with your help we know we can make it. How can you help:
First, take TWO minutes to make sure you’re registered by going to nationalvoterregistrationday.org/register OR see if you there are voter registration events in your neighborhood.
Second, spread the word on social media using the official hashtags #NationalVoterRegistrationDay and #VoteReady. Need some help? We have some sample posts you can use here and here.
Did you got out and get registered? Take some pics? Share them with us right here!
Join the celebration and make sure you are #VoteReady!
