Oski and I go waaaaaaay back! @athletics @ucberkeley @oski #rootedinoakland #GoBears c/o 2001

Maybe she planned it this way. Maybe it's her way of sending love, support, and guidance. Sometimes, my voice is not my own - I know it's her's. Her messages, passion, and vision are being pushed through me. Today, I teach my first class of my second year at San Francisco State University - one of the Community Organizing sections offered by the Health Education Department. Today would have also been granny's 88th birthday. This is a picture of her, along with me, my sister, and cousin Chanel. We were in her sanctuary, her school house - being nourished by her lessons and love. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. When she crosses my mind, sometimes I'm sad, angry that she is not here - but always extremely thankful for the blessing she is. Granny, I miss you dearly. I pray you are at peace. I love you for eternity. #MissingGranny

So much strength in this pic. Thank you @tashface41 for making me take this picture. This was a part of the #BlackPanther display at the #Oakland museum. The images of red, black, and green flags - to the soundtrack of 70's soul music. How I see this - an image that would stoke fear and signify hatred (the Confederate flag), flipped into an image of beauty and pride. Another cool thing about this display is when the music stopped, anyone was welcome to speak at the mic. I need to get back to writing. I have some words to share. #BlackHistoryMonth
