I remember ...

📌Voting for the first time (Bush/Gore presidential election).

📌When my mother drove back and forth from Jackson to Hattiesburg (IYKYK) so my older brother and I could vote. Mississippi still does not have early voting. I didn't know anything absentee ballots until I voted in the Bush/Kerry election when I was at UGA for graduate school.

📌When my mother cursed me out for not voting on the MS state flag design (which would have removed the Confederate flag symbol). I didn't care because I didn't think it mattered. Chile ... so young, so dumb.

🗳️I don't miss an election. This summer, I kicked it up a notch and became the interim District 4 chair for the @cobbdemocrats.

I have been in these streets ...

✅ Hosting sign parties for protests

✅ Organizing and moderating public forums with elected officials and candidates

✅ Tabling at countywide events with candidates to share information

✅ Dressing up as peanut butter to distribute candy to trick-or-treaters and voter information to their parents

✅ Continuing to do my civic duty by voting early

🍑VOTE, y'all. Don't get out of line, no matter how long it takes today.

🗳️VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful,

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year — it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in GOOD TROUBLE, necessary trouble.” - John Lewis

“And I’ve been tired so long, now I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, and we want a CHANGE.” - Fannie Lou Hamer

“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of TRUTH upon them.” - Ida B. Wells

My heroes.
Civil Rights leaders.
VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

If you are in line before 7PM, you can still cast your ballot. Do not be intimidated.

Absentee ballots: Check the laws in your state regarding dropoff locations.

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

🗳️Another day, another panel, another opportunity

🗳️Another day, another panel, another opportunity to serve Cobb County and educate people about the issues on the ballot.

🎤I moderated "Undecided to Informed" on October 24. This event was created to bring together leaders in the county to provide facts about issues such as data centers, 911 operations, and healthcare ahead of the midterm elections.

🍑Early voting in Georgia was from October 13-30, and this forum was open to anyone who still had questions before they headed to the polls.

📌Thank you to our speakers:
Terry Cummings (@terry4ga), State Rep for House District 39 (Mableton and Austell)
Titus Nichols (@titus4georgia), candidate for House District 34 (Kennesaw and Marietta)
Dumont Walker (@friendsofdumont), candidate for House District 46 (north Cobb, lower Cherokee)
Micheal Garza (@micheal4cobb), candidate for Cobb County School Board

👻”Don’t Boo … Vote!”

Epic words spoken by our forever POTUS … and the theme of my first 🎃 Trunk or Treat 🎃 event. We gave out more than 2,000 pieces of candy to 3,000+ kids dressed as MJ, Spider-Man, princesses, monsters, and more.

🗳️We also distributed voter info cards and candidate signs ahead of Election Day.

😱There’s nothing scarier than MAGA incompetence.

📌Don’t boo … VOTE on Tuesday! 🌊🌊🌊

S/O to @threecea — I’ll be the peanut butter to your jelly anytime! 🥜🍇

Thank you to @silvercometindivisible for volunteering with us!

Don’t ask me about 🏈 … UGA was my top school for my master’s degree ➡️👩🏾‍🎓 c/o 2006

I love going back to campus to visit Grady and it’s even sweeter when I speak to students and return with friends. This time, I went with my homegirl and master’s classmate and met up with a Ph.D. candidate whom I met at @sscacomm earlier this year.

Grady continues to grow and it’s so cool to be an alum.
