Bosses: what r u doing to care 4 ur Black staff? Do they have the freedom to “call in Black” tmrw? R u providing $$ to support healing? If you don’t have a plan, get ready to be flexible. Black folks need us to stand up and get out of the way.

My Black and Brown colleagues are not ok. I am not ok. Four of us are mamas raising Black and Brown sons. We work @HeadwatersFdn because we believe that another world is possible. Moments like this are so heavy that the anger and anxiety are excruciating.

Reason #5139458 that I love my team @HeadwatersFdn: they celebrate each other's wins. I don't mean a simple "good job." Even though we are working remotely, they find joyful ways to acknowledge each other's achievements. #joyisradical

If you have a teen or tween who is a fan of @billieeilish, gather your beloved & watch #TheWorldsALittleBlurry. Watch the scenes that make your kid go silent. Pay attn to what makes them cry or laugh or gasp. Sing & dance to their fave songs. It really is beautiful

Funders are less inclined to invest in orgs they deem new &/or risky. An org may be new, but its organizers have been doing the work for yrs. The reality is the framing of risk is actually incredibly racist. Thx for creating this space @whenlulawerks @Chandasbaker and Repa Mekha

Not sure why I thought eating an everything bagel minutes before an interview was a good idea. 🙄

I am not cut out for the SAHM life. Big props and respect for parents that do this for yrs--especially my wife who did it for 6 yrs.

Listening to bachata, merengue, and salsa was the best decision I made all day.

This.
It’s not divisive to call out white supremacy. What’s divisive is to not work to eliminate it.
We're prepping for next Tuesday's Giving Project Grant virtual Info Session. RSVP today to learn about the grant opportunity & ask program staff your Qs ahead of the Feb. 18 application deadline! headwatersfoundation.org/tue…

Decency, dignity, love, healing. It’s been over 4 yrs since we’ve heard a message like that.
