Do you know what today is?? Jan 6th. Do you remember where you were, what you saw, how you felt? You should also remember that there are some who want you to believe it was done in the spirit of "freedom." It wasn't. #4moreyears sigh!!

You know when you're looking for that thing called "permission to" in all places other than yourself? The need for someone to give you permission to do XYZ. Consider PERMISSION granted for 2025 because you are allowed...

Sometimes, we unknowingly limit ourselves, staying within barriers that no longer serve us. This image a powerful metaphor 4 how we can feel ‘stuck’ despite having the freedom to move forward. Step back, reassess, and realize that the gate is open, and the path to growth is ours to take

I've been trying to get in the "holiday spirit." I took myself into Manhattan to look at the lights. Honestly, most are boring, but this 'star' is new. It changes colors & that never happened before.

Nikki Giovanni’s “When I Die:” when i die i hope no 1 who ever hurt me cries & if they cry i hope their eyes fall out & a million maggots that had made up their brains crawl from the empty holes & devour the flesh that covered the evil that passed itself off as a person that i probably tried to love

This is not what they mean when they ask "is this the face of a "killer'?" ( not suggesting this IS the killer & as we know, innocent until proved guilty) Luigi Mangione's mugshot has been released. Mangione is suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

I can't believe that the year is just about over. While I don't believe in resolutions (I think it puts too much pressure on folks to "complete" what they say), I do think putting/ trying to change your mindset is a good thing. So, I'm going to try. What about you? What will 2025 look like for you?

I find it pretty wonderful that in #England, they don't try to hide or limit the #history of being #BlackandBritish. This book is wonderfully written & filled with facts about the history of England & being BLACK in it. Thank you, #DavidOlusogu for your hard work & dedication. #Blackwriters
