But generally being in the White House surrounded by so much blackness (including an amazing HBCU marching band and the Obama portraits) was the stuff of dreams ✨
Was equally inspired by @VP who reminded us all that HISTORY MATTERS . That Black history is American History. And that we must celebrate the heroes of the past and those who currently carry the torch.

Had the honor and privilege to attend the @WhiteHouse #Blackhistorymonth celebration. The below thread is a beautiful summary of all of the @POTUS highlights he shared during his remarks

“We know that as early as six months a baby’s brain can recognize race-based differences and by ages 2-4 they can internalize racial bias,” essence.com/lifestyle/happy-… congrats to @eunique on the launch of Happy Hues!! Love this Innovation in Inclusion 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿
Incredibly proud of the progress we have made in fighting discrimination on the platform. This is an important milestone on our journey and as leader at @airbnb I am deeply committed to building inclusion in our global community.
today we are sharing an update on our ongoing work to fight discrimination, including new data from project lighthouse, an initiative we launched in 2020 with @ColorOfChange to help make airbnb more inclusive: news.airbnb.com/sixyearADupd…
Christian Coopers story is so powerful and I'm so glad he is able to share his passion for birding with the larger world! #birdingwhileblack #blacknaturalist
Lifelong birder Christian Cooper (@blackburniannyc) will take us into the wild, wonderful and unpredictable world of birds in his new show, The Extraordinary Birder.

This work is beyond inspiring and deeply resonates with not only my values, but my personal story. As a black woman born to a single mom, exposure to travel changed the trajectory of my life. Cheers to supporting the next generation of travelers, connectors and bridge builders.
I’m proud to announce the Voyager Scholarship with my friend @bchesky. We hope to provide young people with an interest in public service with some financial support to graduate college, exposure to travel, and the networks they need to make a difference. voyager-scholarship.obama.or…

Started my day with shearing sheep and ended with this amazing announcement from @airbnb that allows me to keep living my country lifestyle. Grateful to be able to live and work anywhere-- specifically a blueberry farm 🫐 👩🏾🌾 💻
Today, we’re announcing that Airbnb employees can live and work anywhere.
Our design for working at Airbnb has 5 key features:

Have been researching other black naturalists / nature lovers to connect with and BAM @BarackObama drops a stunning #nationalparks show on @netflix. Talk about a dream hiking buddy!! 🙌🏾 🥾 🌲🙌🏾

Better to be pulled over and be #driverless than to be pulled over and be a black driver. Felt completely safe riding in a @Cruise and now the #LawEnforcement angle adds another layer to that! #drivingwhileblack
WATCH: A recent viral video shows an autonomous Cruise vehicle appearing to flee the scene after being pulled over for driving with no lights at night.

Now, let's talk about the word "articulate." bloomberg.com/news/newslette… via @bbgEquality
As a Comms professional who speaks multiple languages, I felt this in my soul. Thank you @itskelseybutler for putting these words to this Word.

Took a ride in the future last night. My first driverless car ride from @Cruise! Felt safe, smooth and comfortable! (Seat warmers in the back!!) 'Moonwalk' took us to get donuts, 'Crepe' picked us up! Each navigated some tricky [human-induced] traffic situations flawlessly. 💪🏾
A tragic reality for black women. We need a healthcare system that delivers equal and quality care for all. Until then, it's important to empower maternal health advocates and doulas from organizations such as @sisterwebdoulas

Dr. Farmer was an inspiration in providing equitable and dignified healthcare to those who are all too often overlooked. Grateful for his contributions and service 🙏🏾
Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda.
Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children.
