I want to be recalled as one who squared my shoulders in the service of Black women, as one who made us walk taller & envision greater for ourselves.

“As liberating as Tyson’s prominence was, it didn’t become the norm. After the ’70s, when Tyson was at her peak, it took a couple more generations for dark-skinned Black women — for Black women period — to establish a presence and depth on the screen.”

Today we remember Cicely Tyson.
"Cicely Tyson made me want to dream bigger than my circumstances. She was my first vision of success and she gave me permission to dream."

Today Harris met with Black Women voting rights advocates in the Roosevelt room, compared them to civil rights leaders like Ida B Wells.
She says she also spoke w/ Germany’s Angela Merkel about it.
“... this is also an issue that is about American’s standing in the world.”

Hm. Sounds like what’s happening here is that Tina Flournoy is doing her job. Chiefs of staff gotta run interference.
Doesn’t always make you popular. But it’s part of the job. Protect the boss’ time.

Voter suppression is an unjust, power-driven attempt to maintain and ensure more power.
But we will restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act.
We will.

Republicans are afraid of our power, so they're doing everything they can to silence our voices & deny our freedom to vote.
We need our U.S. Senators to do everything in their power to protect the right to vote. Senators, we are counting on you to support the #ForThePeopleAct.

#CicelyTyson was a woman before her time. Her work was exquisite -- broke down barriers. The pioneer of "Black is Beautiful." A woman whose ebony skin & complex braid patterns disarmed the world and made space for the rest of us to show up in our boldness. #BlackHistoryBootCamp

#CicelyTyson’s autobiography is a must read. And while the cover photo is stunning, I literally gasped when I first opened the book & saw this photo I had never seen before of Tyson wearing the dress she wore to the NY premiere of #Sounder. The photo was taken by Lord Snowden.

I can't wait to read @IAmCicelyTyson's new book, #JustAsIAm, which details her six-decade career on and off the screen. Without the gains of women like her, women like me would have much greater pains to bear in the arts. Pre-order wherever books are sold, or get one on Jan 26!

The glitter, the ribbons, the garnish I've experienced during my life—as wonderful as those things are, I have little desire to reflect on them solely. What I am far more interested in is the tree that represents my life and strength and condition of its roots. —CT #JustAsIAm

#JustAsIAm is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. And now on my journey to becoming a centenarian, I am a woman who, at long last, has something meaningful to say. –CT
