At Attorney General Keith Ellison’s re-election kickoff, Governor Tim Walz shared heartfelt words about his friend and colleague.

His remarks were a reminder of what true leadership looks like, rooted in service, empathy, and commitment to the people of Minnesota.

Today I stopped by my county office to vote. Our generation has the power to shape what comes next, but only if we show up.

Elections are happening this November. Visit mnvotes.gov for Minnesota info or Vote.org for your state.

Hanging out with my boss today at #NoKings Twin Cities.

Millions of young people are applying to hundreds of jobs and hearing nothing back. This is not just about statistics. It is about our future.

Opinion | The unlucky generation? Gen Z’s struggle to find work is real
The stories from frustrated young people and recruiters about how hard this job market is are all over TikTok.

I refuse to stay silent while my friend Kendyll Locke is attacked. Since our teen years, we have worked side by side for justice. If standing up for what is right is a “Black job,” then Gen Z & especially Black #GenZ, will always show up for the work. @jasmineforus.bsky.social #BlackExcellence
Three political spaces are shaping our future. One is rooted in institutions. One speaks in digital disruption. One lives in culture. They rarely speak to each other. At the #DNC meeting, I reflected on why Gen Z must become the bridge.

The Future Is in the Bubble You’re Not Listening To

“You’re fired” should have stayed on TV. Under President Trump it has become a painful reality for Black women, with more than 300,000 pushed out of the labor force in three months. An America that discards Black women discards its own future.

Trump’s “you’re fired” economy targets Black women
There are phrases that belong to entertainment and should have stayed there. “You’re fired” was one of them. It was once just a line from a television show, a manufactured

Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night on the House floor after refusing to agree ‘to round-the-clock monitoring by state troopers’ www.keranews.org/texas-news/2...
Watching my friend, TX Rep. Nicole Collier, take a courageous stand at the Capitol. She refuses to bow to rules designed to silence voices & mask a racist assault on voting rights.

Her resolve is a reminder that representation is never granted. It is won, defended, & made sacred through struggle.
60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act promised every vote would count. Today, that promise is under attack, not by accident but by design.

This anniversary is not a celebration. It is a warning.

What if the Voting Rights Act doesn’t survive its 60th anniversary?
Sixty years ago, this nation made an oath. That no matter who you are or where you live, your vote would count.

With all the posts circulating about Angel Reese and the fake “$1400 a week” quote, I wanted to share my column on the importance of trusted Black news media. More importantly, we should all be asking ourselves: are we media literate? www.insightnews.com/opinion/colu...

Deep in the work of writing my publisher pitch proposal.
It’s the first time I’ve had to put every part of the book on paper. Not just the chapters, but the audience, the plan, the promise.
Sharing a moment from the process.
