Hey Reader, Last week I went quiet to honor Juneteenth, choosing to rest in Freedom rather than produce through it. In fact, me and the fam saw Toy Story 5. You can read my initial thoughts on LinekdIn or IG. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This week, the room I've been building BTS is ready to open. 👀 The Human Systems Lab opens Monday, June 29. It's a free community, off the algorithmic platforms, for the everyday leaders and quiet revolutionaries holding the work of equity, culture, and belonging. A place to be fully ourselves, support each other through the stuck places, and trade the tools and insights we usually keep to ourselves. e open with a launch party under the Strawberry mMon 🍓🌕 C ome to witness! Come to share! Not your thing? Then, please forward the invitation to 2-3 DEI, culture, HR, or Employee Engagement folks in your network. ♻️ This Week's Justice & JoyBefore I go, here's a peek inside my Justice & Joy this week: 🌿 I wrapped a two-week, six-session well-being cohort for school principals, in collaboration with Educators Thriving, Reflex AI, and Google.org. Holding space for the people who hold schools is some of my favorite work, and sending them off resourced felt like Justice. 💖 A joy of reciprocity that stayed with me: I told my coach how proud I am of her for launching her first YouTube video fully as herself, and she told me she's proud of me too. There's a particular joy in mutual pride between two people growing out loud. 🥳 And after more delay than I planned, I captured the best night of 2026 so far in a reel that you can watch here! I'm holding a full, tender week with a lot of love. I'll see you in the room. 💖 Rooted in love. Blooming in liberation. 🌻 |

Hey Reader, The last 7 days knocked me sideways. Last week, I wrote you a message that I planned to send after taking a nap. That nap ended up being 3 hours long and I accepted that rest was the priority. Then by Monday, I was not feeling any better and decided to test for COVID. Welp, this mama tested positive!! 16 days into the new school year, and all of my plans got smaller out of necessity instead of choice, including parenting my daughter this week. Eclipse season asked for surrender,...
Hey Reader, I planned to send this to you on Friday, I even attended a co-working sess for accountability. And instead of pushing, I allowed the day to be one of collaborative synergy that turned into an afternoon in the sun, drinking an adult slushie along with chips and gauc! 🥑⚡️😎 Even so, I’ll be honest with you—my heart has felt heavy ❤️🔥 Between Nolan Wells heavenly birthday 🕊️and the seventh Black individual found hung from a tree. As a Black mama, my heart breaks to type that sentence,...
Reader, from community, collaborators, and conversations with potential clients to some low-tech family time in one of my favorite spots in the world. Here’s a photo from the past so that you can imagine where I am today as this lands in your inbox: Wherever you are in this moment, let this be a moment to take a deep breath and center on what’s in your sphere of influence. Feel your feet on the ground. Or in my case, the sand in my toes. Ask yourself 🪄 What do you need now? Water? A hug? A...
