The Southside Back in The Day festival was a beautiful outpouring of community love. Folks from across the state descended on Phelps Park in Minneapolis, just a block from where #GeorgeFloyd was killed to bring hope and healing to folks who been hurting. It was such a blessing!
The Southside Back in the Day fest was dedicated to kids in the community. @drverna and her team had all kinds of cool activities planned to uplift and support them including free haircuts. After the year our kids have had, it's nice to see them having fun and getting loved on!
It's a party with a purpose. Yeah @SoundsBlackness was there singing and er'rebody was eating good at the Southside Back in the Day festival, but they were also getting their blood pressure checked and getting people #vaccinated. Making sure our people are healed and healthy...
Ain't no party like a Southside Back in the Day party, cause a Southside party don't stop! The music was flowing, folks feet were moving and grooving to the beat! I tried to catch @ShannonRadioTFI cause I heard he was out there dancing but he must have been hiding behind a tree!
#SundayBlessing Just a block from where #GeorgeFloyd was killed, we held the Southside Back in the Day fest. You could feel his spirit with us as we brought hope and healing to the community. His death was a moment, but his legacy and life are a movement that we won't let die...

Folk here are much to #MinnesotaNice to stop me from busting up in events I'm not technically invited to. Fifteen years ago when I won my first Emmy, I went as @bethjett. So it should come as no surprise when I show up at @GovTimWalz#StateofTheState as @karlabigham...
I'm trying to figure out which of my new @nashona_ outfits I should wear when I crash @GovTimWalz' #StateOfTheState address tonight. He ain't ask me to come, but I found an invite on the floor the last time I was at @cottagegrovemn City Hall. I wanna look good for my mug shot...
