Shayna Lee had to explain hateful symbolism to her 7-year-old daughter on her birthday after she caught a Black doll hung by the neck at the Krewe of Tucks parade. City leaders and the Krewe are investigating. New Orleans' celebrations should be spaces of joy, not exposure to hateful imagery.

Ilia Malinin legally landed a backflip on one blade at the Olympics, but let’s not forget Surya Bonaly did it FIRST in 1998, knowing she’d be penalized. Her courage broke barriers in a sport that wasn’t ready. Black athletes set the tone. Let’s honor them accordingly. ✊🏿

The survival of Black media is NOT optional, it's essential! As Black journalists face arrests and our stories are erased, we must invest in the voices that tell our truths. I applaud Onyx Impact’s #InvestInBlackMedia campaign. Our stories matter. Our voices matter. ✊🏿

10 NFL head coaching jobs opened. ZERO went to Black coaches. The league is 70% Black players but will enter 2026 with only 3 Black head coaches out of 32 teams. The Rooney Rule was created to increase diversity, yet here we are. The numbers tell the story. This must change.
