“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”-MLK. #injustice and #prejudice thrive when unchecked. It takes #courage to speak when others remain quiet. Dare to break the #silence in your places of influence. #racepositive
The heart of a #racialized and discriminatory system is to deny #opportunity and #access to those deemed unworthy due to their racial #identity. The pursuit of #justice, #equity, and #inclusion is a pursuit of removing hurdles and barriers to access and opportunity. #racepositive
It’s natural to want to refrain from race based dialogue in our current social climate. But the need for conversation has never been greater. Keep #talking, stay in #dialogue. #racepositive
#Excluding worthy competitors in the marketplace, sacrifices #merit. Removing opportunities for #qualified candidates does not make the one in the room the #best, it simply makes them alone. It was not about asethetics and quotas, but rather #opportunity & #access. #racepositive
When we regard #racism as a thing of the #past we miss the new forms of expression it takes in the #present. Much like H2O is still intact whether it presents as running water or mist, #racial #bias maintains its core principles of #exclusion and #limitation in any form it takes.
Watching the devastation in #southerncalifornia is heartbreaking. In times like this we should strive to not only seek light, but to be it for others. #community #hope #lafires #malibu #firefighter #firstresponders #racepositive @TheAmandaGorman
Wishing you all an incredible 2025! Let’s commit to putting more good into the world, it’s needed. #racepositive

In a world that is insistent on #breaking, #diminishing, and #erasing those deemed #unworthy, namely the #marginalized and #powerless, choosing to #live, #showup, and take up #space is the ultimate act of #resistence. #racepositive
Adopting a critical eye not only toward the stories we ingest, but also to who is telling the #story, is paramount. Ask not just who is telling the story, but whose viewpoint is missing? How much would the story change if the #losers told it? #MentalHealth #racepositive
Whether it’s #work, #relationships, or #socialjustice centering our efforts on what we find valuable, and worthwhile can make the difference between #burnout and #fulfillment. #positivepsychology #racepositive @Gladwell
Whether it’s our #health or #social issues, closing our eyes to a problem does not equip us to address it. Choosing blindness merely leaves us defenseless and at the mercy of what ails us. There is little #virtue in willful #ignorance. #racepositive @heathermcghee_
When #alternativefacts are shared freely, and #history is retold to make #racism and #prejudice appear reasonable, it’s important to remember that #content not #labels matter most. The #truth about the harmful effects of racial #discrimination and #hate always rises to the top.
My 3rd key takeaway from the #book The Color of Law. The effects of #racist acts in the past still linger in the present. #Racism affects all of us, not in the same ways or to the same degree, but it touches us all. Thus, it requires all of us to dismantle it. #racepositive
Point #2: Law vs. Enforcement. Check out my second takeaway from the incredible book, The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein. #book #segregation #housing #law #redlining #racepositive
