Todayโs #WCW is fierce and powerful, @roxanegay74 . A New York Times best-selling author, Roxane has been able to reach people with her powerful words. She has published countless works of fiction and non-fiction that have all left an incredible mark on the culture. I personally found myself drawn to her book โBad Feministโ where her words were revolutionary and revelatory. She recognizes herself as a part of the LGBTQ community and has not been shy when it comes to describing her experience in it. I love that Roxane is consistently questioning, critically thinking, and quite literally pushing the envelope. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!
This heatwave is taking us THROUGH it! All the emotions. Take a guess whose has more meltdowns. And if you guessed me, you are absolutely correct. ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฅต๐ฅต๐ฅต๐ฅต๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐ค
Todayโs #WCW is the intelligent and respected, Dr. Brittney Cooper. As a fan I have been completely inspired by all of @professor_crunk research and insights. In particular, how she breaks down the experience of a black feminist in her book โEloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower.โ Her body of work is massively impressive, but more recently in her newest book โStand Up! 10 Mighty Women Who Made a Changeโ she was able to tell stories from historic female figures who have changed the world for standing up for what is right, and I love it so much because itโs illustrated and written so beautifully enough for me to show and read to Kaavia. Itโs so important to me to show my daughter how these women like Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges to name a few, literally changed history and made our world a better place. While there is much more work to be done, I must commend Dr. Cooper for reminding black women everywhere how much power we hold and continue to. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!
Itโs been 8 years now married to my best friend and a lifetime to go. There have been tears and tantrums, triumphs and tremendous gratitude of our love. I love your evolution and your readiness to look at yourself FIRST before pointing any fingers. I love watching you throw caution to the wind and lead in ways weโve never seen before. May this journey of ours always be filled with joy and laughter and compassion and grace. I love you baby, forever. Happy Anniversary @dwyanewade#WadeWorldTour ๐ช๐ธ๐ช๐ธ๐ช๐ธ
