Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

The Eyes Have Not Seen A Black man who knows his worth isn’t a revolution. It’s a realization of who he’s designed to be. To Shedeur Sanders — and every brilliant Black man: Your confidence isn’t arrogance; it’s a birthright. Those that can look you eye to eye are a different breed. Let the next be the HIGH STEP. The crown is yours for the taken. Now, put it on your last name. BE LEGENDARY.
