Very thankful to the teams at GE and BBC for letting me tell my story in the hopes that other women of color receive the care they need 💜💜

Not many know but heart disease kills six times more women than breast cancer. Salima Qamruddin MD runs a clinic @OschnerHealth which helps to prevent heart disease in young women like Sarah Carthen Watson. See more in our film with BBC StoryWorks 👇 #HeartDisease #NaturesBuildingBlocks

On this day last year I was in the hospital following a heart attack at 29. Since then I got married & went on a fabulous honeymoon, argued before the 5th Circuit, became a Delta, and yesterday—ran a 5k. Thankful for my health and all that can and did change in a year 🥰

Had a great time connecting with new and old friends and learning from all of the speakers at Department of Housing and Urban Development @FHEO_HQ ‘s FHIP/FHAP Conference in Denver. Special thanks to everyone who highlighted Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center’s work in their remarks. (And of course I had to find my Sorors!! ❤️🔺)

A trip to the Legacy Museum and the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL should be required for everyone. What an incredible and impeccably curated experience.

I am so proud of the incredible staff at Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center for joining together in collective advocacy to fight for a workplace that aligns with our organization’s values! I fully support LaFHAC Union and urge our leadership to voluntarily recognize it by Feb. 20.

We see our work at Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center as an extension of Dr. King’s legacy. Dr. King was outspoken in support of unions and the value that they provide in furthering civil rights goals.

After 3yrs working w/ an A++ team of advocates, this Friday is my last day at Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center. I will miss this squad, but I’m so proud of all we’ve done to combat housing discrimination & improve access to safe, accessible & affordable housing for all. More to come on my new gig!

Disappointed to see the same tactics being used nearly 10 years after we first called for Northwestern divestment, but so incredibly proud of my fellow wildcats for still standing up for what’s right in the face of nonsense like this.
