Much love @TeenVogue for sharing my story.

I came from a place where my options were limited as a young black man.

I'm only here b/c of the heroes in my life.

I'll spend the rest of my life paying their acts of kindness forward.

A personal thread..

My story wouldn't be possible were it not for the heroes I had, like my mom who sacrificed her dream so I might achieve mine.

@Twitter doesn't have enough cloud space to hold all I could write about what she means to me.

Put simply, what is best in me comes from this woman.

Nationally, there’ve been racial disparities in vaccination rates and there's been much talk of hesitancy as the cause. Our work this wknd bringing vaccines to lobbies of low income housing units via @GOTVax_org argues that access, not hesitancy, is the primary issue.

Story🧵 White residents have received 16x the # of vaccines as Latinx residents and 13x the # of vaccines as Black residents here in MA. While the city/state mount a response our team of black and brown health workers, campaign staff and organizers from hard hit communities got to work.
