Last summer as I watched protesters in the streets of Philadelphia, I was reminded that the American Revolution is an ongoing enterprise, that we are still doing the work of expanding our democracy, and that who gets to do that work expands with every generation.
I wanted to respond to our national reckoning in a way that felt meaningful to me as a Black woman, an American and a recent Philadelphian — identities in which I take a lot of pride and that also each come with responsibility.

Sometimes you sing about inclusiveness. Frankly, advocates need to mix it up for own wellbeing. It is a form of self care to affirm values & vision
