Just like Nannie Helen Burroughs believed at the turn of the 20th Century, "We specialize in the wholly impossible." In 2017, it is time for us to #TrustBlackWomen. It is my honor to serve Black women, femmes & girls, to serve @newvoices4rj and to serve the #ReproJustice movement - all of which is the greatest work of my life. #NAACP #humanrights #mocmagic #blackgirlmagic . . . . . #newvoices #newvoices4rj #newvoicespgh #blackjoysabbatical #blackjoy #pittsburgh (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
