        Nice tip of the fascinator to her Mom-who looked so proud, happy and lovely.

        This choir saw the wedding scene from Love Actually and said "you haven't seen anything yet." I thought they were incredible.

        Just a friendly reminder that the 7th annual global #MarchAgainstMonsanto is today. Millions are taking to the streets against mass chemical poisoning all over the world and you're tweeting about a #RoyalWedding...?

        Shaun, thanks for sharing. It is beautiful. But I’m having problems understanding what’s happening here. I’d like to see progress or even acceptance, but classism & racism are so deeply ingrained in Britain, I remain skeptical.

        This is Diana's influence, that he married a woman of color. See how much you can shape your children early on!

        Today is a good day. We were invited into a place to really see two hearts become one. Not a single pretense. It was simply real. At 4:00 AM, my day began reading how someone by the name of @JJWatt did something so kind, my heart began to heal.

        It was all very beautiful. Didn’t think I’d care. But from the moment the prince stepped out like G’s to the ending, it was cool to watch. At least there will be no more ridiculous talk about her Meghan denying her “blackness”. such a tired talking point for mixed race folk
