God knows exactly what we need at the right time. I was very emotionally spent driving home tonight. My segment on the millions, or perhaps billions that @wellsfargo has cheated Black folks out of was heavy. I saluted @ericadamsfornyc and NYC for refusing to open new accounts 1/7 
because of their discriminatory past AND present. I also blasted Black civil rights groups for not demanding more from the company to repay Black folks for the harm they caused. And then my producer tells me that @pastormurph William Murphy wanted me to text him. So I did. 2/7
Now I had already gotten his number from @jamalhbryant. So I hit him up and he texts, “I want to share some new music with you.” So he sends me a link to his new song “Just Us.” Now last week I was on his IG Live for a bit as he played the song but I didn’t hear all of it. 3/7
I’ve already listened to it almost a dozen times. I’m sitting here almost in tears. The song is truly speaking to my weary spirit. I’ve been going hard on companies that continue to deny Black folks business; as well as the paucity of federal contracts we are getting. Many 4/7
say I’m going too hard demanding our fair share of dollars. I’ve been saying #ImNotSatisfied #WheresOurMoney #BlackEconomicSocialJustice and #BlackOwnedMediaMatters. It ain’t been easy. I’ve focused on these issues for years but it really changed after I finished MLK’s 5/7
“Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?” And Martin Deppe’s “Operation Breadbasket: An Untold Story of Civil Rights in Chicago, 1966-1971,” which is about the economic plan of MLK and SCLC. This song “Just Us” is truly an anthem for this generation. I got a feeling 6/7
I’ll be listening to this non-stop for a while. The whole album drops on Juneteenth. Thanks @pastormurph. You have no idea how much I NEEDED this song RIGHT NOW! 7/7
