Transactional Relationships

 Friend  -  Let’s get one thing straight. We don’t do transactional relationships.   Every move that we make and every relationship we have is with intention. Because we’re manifesting here. We’re manifesting a country that is reflective of our communities. Call it our own manifest destiny. LET'S …

Let Freedom Read!

  Friend -  As a progressive mom, I've always believed in the power of education and the importance of exposing my kids to diverse ideas, perspectives, and cultures through books.

Lockdown Drills

  Friend -  It’s the reason why parents think twice about light-up shoes or glow-in-the-dark t-shirt designs. It’s the reason why caretakers have to be added into the school system and present photo identification when picking up a child from school. It’s the reason why teachers have to calculate h…
