Russia upholding the #BrittneyGriner conviction may have been the expected outcome, but it doesn't make this injustice any less horrific. We need to keep shining a bright light. Read my take in ESSENCE

Damning new study highlighting broadband bias — AT&T, CenturyLink and others offered least-White areas slower internet for the same price, more often.

More Black voters expect violence at polling sites because there is an unbroken record of intimidation against Black voters in our country. The only response is to be fearless and use your vote to get the democracy we deserve.

Shining the spotlight on the institutions working to get it right. The Lincoln Center team didn't just acknowledge the sins of the past, they set out to create a more inclusive future. @EllenMcGirt tells this important story.

Indigenous people in the U.S. deserve more than a holiday. They deserve quality healthcare and schools, job opportunities, and economic dignity.

Great to see Stacey Abrams grace the ESSENCE digital cover. Terrific read about her race for governor and the fight for the culture and soul of America.

Thank you to TIAA CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett & the talented team at TIAA who are committed to addressing the retirement gap for women & Black people across the nation.  I was honored to participate in this special convening of leaders & advocates focused on change. #BeTheChange

I stand with the women of Iran who are putting their lives on the line to protest their government in the name of #MahsaAmini . No woman should have to fear retaliation, imprisonment or death for making choices about what they wear or how they present themselves to the world.

This is how we lift each other up. Each of us has a responsibility to right the wrongs we see in the world and to create new pathways of opportunity.

The dog whistles are back. As Republicans see the writing on the wall, we're seeing the rise of coded ads meant to scare people. How do we respond to this shameful practice? VOTE.

I proudly became CEO of Global Black Economic Forum to help reimagine what economic and social justice can mean for our world. Today we mark #BlackWomensEqualPayDay . Black women are paid 58 cents on the dollar. There is much work to be done and it requires our collective engagement.

How can Black women help to level the equal pay field? @essence outlines how to begin talking about pay equity in three steps:

Appreciate President Biden for meeting with these families and highlighting this continued injustice. We stand with #BrittneyGriner and #PaulWhelan and their families.

Let's honor #HispanicHeritage by investing in a fairer future. Let's level the playing field, close the opportunity gap, and create economic opportunity for all.

Unprecedented. If a founder can direct 100% of company profits to combat climate change, surely corporate America can broaden its commitment to economic justice.

It bears repeating, “…this is what believing looks like. This is what striving looks like. And don’t you ever, ever give up.” #SheryLeeRalph

Important conversation. Thank you, Gerren Keith Gaynor, Jonathan Capehart and others for ensuring that even as we honor and celebrate an extraordinary leader, we don't overlook the key issues of race and colonialism.

As the world remembers #QueenElizabethII let’s also remember that we lost a giant of media and journalism yesterday.

#BernardShaw will be long remembered for his grace, intelligence, inquisitive, and absolute devotion to the craft of journalism.
