    A friend and I were talking....11 people sickened by E. coli over the last few days led to a national ban on romaine lettuce. I’ll bet more than 11 people were injured/killed by firearms last night alone. Why do we treat lettuce with more caution than firearms?

    Women disproportionately experience intimate partner violence, and the presence of firearms within those relationships is a key risk factor for intimate partner homicide. Read ACOG’s full Gun Violence and Safety Policy

    I've noticed some confusion about how elections work. People vote on (and now often before) Election Day. And those votes are counted. All of them. Sometimes it takes a while. Then, and only then, you know who won.

    Please read the entire article, but here are some highlights of the recommendations: 1. Perform a self-audit (are you sitting in an echo chamber?) 2. Harbor a growth mindset, as this means you can change (“I know there’s always room to grow in this area”)

    Convo with my 8 & 10 year old girls: Them: is a billionaire? Me: Yes! Them: Oh we thought she was a trillionare! For them it's normal that a black woman could be a billionaire and trillionare. Money isn't everything but the mindset for them as young black girls is.

    As they say, all skinfolk ain't kinfolk. Shameful what this officer did. A Baltimore police officer brutally beat a black man. It’s creating new problems for the department.  via
