Today and ANY day, ask yourself:
♥️ What are you doing to encourage diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion in your personal and professional life? Do your actions match your words?
🧡 How can you help create space and then support diverse voices and faces in making use of that space? When is the last time you used your platform or network to uplift diverse voices?
💚 In what ways are you currently benefitting from the same societal, social, or professional structures that are harming others? What are you going to DO about that?

This day symbolizes the resilience and perseverance of Black communities in the face of systemic oppression. Let's come together to ensure that the promise of freedom and justice is realized for every individual, regardless of race or background. Happy Juneteenth!

Black American freedmen never fled for a better way of life or was ever given a hand up. We always worked for everything we had and stood ten toes down to WS. Situations like this, our towns being under highways, lakes, generational wealth stolen, and more makes the Black American freedmen experience extremely different from from everyone else.
-
This is why I correct and check anybody who come on here, making it about them or speaking so freely on our freedmen experiences. I have a firm understanding that someone being nice to me (and I’m still kind to everyone) does not mean they are friend and that my people have not lost generational wealth. I don’t care how friendly one is or act as if they are down. You are no ally if you don’t understand that Black American freedmen can have something to themselves.

Every conversation I have ever had with Nyerere left me thinking of ways to improve myself. He sets a very high standard for humanity, intelligence, and passion. I am truly lucky to consider Nyerere to be one of my closest friends and wisest colleagues. The article only begins the story.
I can't believe it's been two years since Michael D'Angelo contacted me as part of WGN's Black History Month. For those warriors fighting for others, I salute you!
What most don't know is that this video was the first time I had talked about being homeless during the first seven years of my life. There was a lot of inner healing work to get to this self-acceptance, self-grace, and self-love. This work continues today. I've learned that my service to myself opens me up to serve others with a natural unselfishness as the validation of who I am and what I bring to the table is no longer of question to me. I simply am!
No matter what you're going through, the inner work is yours to own, and when you commit to it, it will unlock you in ways you love yourself more!

Sheriff of Broward County at Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO)
I've always kept a vision board listing my goals. Even as a boy in the Philadelphia projects, I was preparing to achieve my dreams. Through planning and preparation, I became the first in my family to graduate high school and college, then joined law enforcement, rising to become the Coral Springs Police Department's first black sergeant. I served in various capacities and received numerous awards.
Recognizing societal needs, I briefly left police work to found a company training in active shooter and mass casualty response. When the Broward Sheriff's Office needed leadership after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy, I accepted, becoming the first black sheriff in the organization's 109-year history.
