Toni Morrison saw racism not just as violence—but as theft. A theft of time, energy, focus. Her words remind us: we must not let the demand to explain our humanity keep us from building power. #WisdomWednesday #ToniMorrison #DistractionIsThePoint #KeepBuilding

Philanthropy often replicates the same hierarchies it claims to fix. Liberation isn’t funded—it’s fought for, organized, and shared. We don’t need saviors. We need systems to fall. #ThisVsThat #LiberationNotPhilanthropy #ReimaginingTheRevolution #PowerToThePeople

#OTD May 18, 1896 Homer Plessy, a Black man, had been arrested for sitting in a whites-only train car in Louisiana. Rather than uphold justice, the Court legitimized Jim Crow laws, giving constitutional cover to decades of racial discrimination. #RacialJustice #AbolishWhiteSupremacy
