Repost from @thegrio • #LatoshaBrown, Co-Founder of Black Voters Matter, announced on Twitter yesterday afternoon, the passing of her 29 year old son, Keambiroiro Lane. She shared pictures of her with her son saying "My one and only beautiful baby boy has transitioned to the heavenly realm. He was only 29. We had a very special love for each other. Rest In Peace my baby. You were my gift from God. Pray for us. #KBug 💔" Information on cause of death has not been released. We send our condolences to Latosha and her family. - #blackvotermatter #blacklivesmatter #blackpoliticos #votingrights #civilrights #blackgirlmagic #explore #explorepage #voting #Blackwomen #winwithblackwomen #GOTV #vote #theroot #organizing #newsiscovery #blackpeople https://www.instagram.com/p/CmaDfDJp_jb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⭐️ Because of COVID protocols we had to take this photo with some distance at the When We All Vote Summit in LA. However, it turned out a pretty cool photo to stand with our former forever First Lady, @MichelleObama. 💕@BlackVotersMtr @WhenWeAllVote @blackgirlsdream @cliff_notes (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfp_7SrMOzb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Organizers of Sunday's Pride March in New York City placed Planned Parenthood and Allies at the head of the event after the Supreme Court decision ending Roe v. Wade. For all of the joyous celebrations, the court's ruling cast an undeniable shadow. (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfTYWN2OiD5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m headed to the @WhiteHouse tomorrow for the signing of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. Since the early 1900’s Black people have been working to get anti-lynching federal legislation passed. The bill failed 200+ times until recently thanks to @CoryBooker and @__timscott__ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbq_yrUsuvN/?utm_medium=tumblr

GLENFIDDICH AND BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM CHALLENGE THE COLLECTIVE IDEA OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE RICH Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky introduces the #Richest25, a bold new body of work that challenges the collective idea of what it means to be rich. The below feature breaks from the conventions of a traditional rich list, spotlighting 20 individuals from across the United States who broaden the definition of wealth by reimagining its true meaning. The Glenfiddich #Richest25 was inspired by a landmark study, conducted with If-Then Company, which suggests that American society’s definition of professional success devalues what truly matters most to them such as relationships, community and well-being. The Glenfiddich #Richest25 is the first action Glenfiddich is taking as part of a larger mission to reassess how we look at value, wealth and ‘riches’ through a societal and personal lens. LETTER FROM THE CURATOR I don’t do many of these things. But when I do, it’s because it reflects my values. So when Glenfiddich asked me to help them challenge what rich means, an opportunity presented itself: to use my little corner of the world to help us reflect back to ourselves the beautiful things that make us who we are. For certain, the way we share material resources must reflect an attitude of abundance-because there is enough for everyone to be well. And so too must the way we define richness reflect our humanity-instead of just what we can produce. A recent study Glenfiddich did with If-Then Company crystallizes this truth: the way Americans define success varies drastically from the way we perceive society to define success. Wealth. We're conditioned to think it’s dollars, when it’s really personal connection. Others think it’s followers, but deep down we know it’s purpose. The world chases accolades, but courage resides in those who do not. I learned from my father early on that nothing will ever be more important than how we shine the light we got. It’s how he let me know I was always rich-beyond any of society's status quos. We each owe it to ourselves to withdraw from the standards that never suited all of us equitably. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUL1MYpMsRX/?utm_medium=tumblr
