Blaming an airplane crash on DEI is unconscionable. Families and loved ones of victims deserve answers from a thorough investigation, not from someone’s ideology. This should be a time where we center the humanity of those who are grieving.

“Approximately 10,000 refugees who were scheduled to fly to the US have had their flights canceled and no new bookings will be made, a State Department memo says. The memo also says that case processing is suspended, effectively shutting the program.” www.wishtv.com/news/refugee...

Arguably, I would assert that Project 2025 was in Indiana long before this new slate of bills. Criminalizing people for wearing masks in public, particularly immunocompromised communities, is unconscionable- among many other bills that harm women’s rights, LGBTQ+ communities, and children.

The consequences of the governor election in IN were clear. This news was expected. Braun’s executive order coupled with bills to dismantle public education within IN (e.g., Gary, IPS, etc.) and to deny immigrant children their rights to learn is unconscionable. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...

When this group was in high school, they created an affinity space called Future Black Leaders (FBL). As adults, they have shifted FBL into a business that supports Black youth. I couldn’t be more proud of these former students and love how they keep me involved in their lives! Weekend highlight!

Project 2025 has already been in motion within most states, including Indiana. Dissolving one of the largest public school districts in Indiana that serves more than 80% students of color is an intentional choice from lawmakers. www.wfyi.org/news/article...

Wishing you joy, softness, and love in the new year. You deserve peace and communities of people who love you for being your authentic self. Many thanks to those who filled my cup in 2024!

You have every right to reevaluate your circles, and distance yourself from people who have revealed their true selves this season. It’s okay to leave toxicity behind and build communities around you in 2025 that lead with love, justice, and truth.
