Happy Birthday to Trayvon Martin who would’ve been 24 today. His life mattered, just as yours does. We’re still fighting to make people understand that Black Lives Matter; it has not been easy, but it is necessary.

Today we’re honoring politician Stacey Abrams. Last night, as the first Black woman to give the democratic response to the #SOTU, she stated “In this time of division and crisis, we must come together and stand for and with one another.” She is a true inspiration to all of us.

Please stop using female as a noun when it is an adjective. Female describes the sex/ gender of what your are describing. Ex. Female rapper, female designer, female driver. I never hear people use male as a noun, it’s always man, guy, or men. But with women it’s always females.
