Would y'all keep praying for The Rise House? Housing prices are increasing in Fort Worth pretty rapidly so we really need to build our community funded loan at a quicker pace so we can purchase sooner versus later.
If you are interested in the secure investment that is real estate and helping @NowSheRises open a "pay what you can" retreat home for women, I nothing short of beg you to look at becoming a part of our community funded loan.

If you have a parent, grandparent, mentor, etc that loves you and might invest in something that matters to you, please think about going outside your comfort zone and connecting me.

I have been doing this on my own the last year and the pace I can work at is really slow.
In all honesty, my disabilities & the limitations they create are making this project extra difficult. Sometimes I lose whole weeks to my health where I need to be contacting possible investors. If you are reading this & have the capital to loan us, I would be forever grateful.
Also, if you could give a big one time gift that we could add to the cash we have saved as a community, that can help too! As a community we have saved almost $50,000. Any money we can add to that gets us closer to being in a house. If you have questions, my DMs are open.

While I thought I would be here tonight telling you about the possible Rise House I looked at instead I need to tell you about watching the @fortworthpd over police a Black neighborhood as they were having their annual neighborhood celebration.
After viewing a house in the “Historic Southside” neighborhood of Fort Worth I took time to drive around the area. Rich with life, this neighborhood is full of Black and brown working class people. There are churches on every corner, community centers and preschools.
While on my drive, I noticed a parking lot with four police vehicles. I slowed to make sure they didn’t have anybody detained. They didn’t so I moved on. I later realized they had been there, a few blocks away from the community party, ready to break it up.

This week I will be sharing a lot about The Rise House.
For those of you who are new here, I am the Executive Director of @NowSheRises, an organization focused on connecting, equipping and empowering women in whatever ways they need as they do good work.
For years now, the Rise community has been planing & SAVING to open a "pay what you can" retreat home for women. Our belief is that every woman is worthy of rest, quiet & space for reflection, healing & celebration. One's bank account should not determine access to those things.
The Rise House will be a place where individual women can come in hard things, like job loss and grief. The Rise House will be a place where a woman can come for celebration, like a birthday or graduation. The Rise House will be a place for women wherever they find themselves.

I wanted to report back on the money we were able to send to Black women and their families to take care of the cost of a meal, not for commendation's sake but because financial transparency is important.

We were able to send dinner money to 90 women totaling $3,735.
I want to note that while this was a wonderful effort to take a smallest of small burden off of our Black sisters, it will only be through systemic support, overhaul and reparations that Black women will be given the rest they deserve.
Yes, I urge you to give when opportunities like this come up, and also, I urge you to vote and advocate and canvas and make phone calls and protest until we live in a society where Black women can spend their energy more on cooking and less on trying to keep their kids alive.

Men, PLEASE start therapy NOW. You can literally tell you therapist, “Holly on Twitter told me to come here” if you think you don’t have anything to talk about.

The amount of weight and suffering women are carrying because men won’t do their own work makes me physically ill.
And y’all, I’m talking about GOOD men putting women through exhausting, unnecessary pain and confusion, because they have not done any of the hard work of reflecting on themselves. I’m not referring to “bad” guys. I’m talking about good, faithful, responsible men causing harm.
I am blown away by the women I know seeking out health and wholeness with great effort and sacrifice. There are so many of us.

I’m tired of men being drug behind them towards healing if seeking it at all. Exhausted seeing men only seek therapy after a woman has asked them to.

I've been thinking about how to share some of these thoughts for awhile. This is not a subtweet at anyone, more some sadness, and I hope wisdom I can bring.

Some thoughts on platform, faithful work, enjoyable work, lifting up other's work:
I really dislike when NYT bestsellers and big conference speakers tell us to not worry about platform. When they call their followers/ministries "rag tag," "little crew," etc.

One of the most important things we can do with power is to own it, then we can steward it.
So I start these thoughts not as a NYT bestseller, but also acknowledging the size of my platform compared to many of you is large.

I often find myself appalled that some of you do not have more people listening to your voices. I want more people listening to many of you.

Today you are going to watch a lot of women, across the political spectrum, share the videos of @AOC calling out the bull on the House floor.

Why? Because this is what it is to be a woman in a society built on patriarchy. Because every one of us has a story, or twelve.
We've been name called on the playground & told that he is picking on us because "he likes you".

We've blushed at comments made about our new bodies in middle school before crying at home.

We've been told no one wants to date us as high schoolers because we are "intimidating".
We've gone to college, been hit on by professors, and then been dragged for saying "no".

We've entered the workforce at lower pay than our male counterparts, asked illegally about our plans to start a family in our interviews for promotions.
