Today, on the 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭, the UN calls us to expand what human rights look like for our people. For Black women, that expansion starts with 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠. With 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔. With 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑠.

Wellness is not a luxury.
It’s lineage.
Rest is not a reward.
It’s reparations.
Joy is not accidental.
It’s resistance.
Softness is not weakness.
It’s survival.
Future‑building is not optional.
It’s our inheritance.

I almost forgot this was the whole point,̲
but my body remembers.
My ancestors remember.
My children will remember.

𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 is not just a program. It’s a declaration: 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.

Today, we honor that truth a͟c͟r͟o͟s͟s͟ t͟h͟e͟ d͟i͟a͟s͟p̲o͟r͟a͟. ✊🏾

We have been building the ballot, tapping into teach‑ins, holding folks accountable, exercising our rights, and centering Black feminist strategy — because civic engagement is 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒄 when Black women lead. 🖤✨

TONIGHT 🚨 Session 2: Black Women Build the Ballot is discussing workplace stress
📅 Aug 13 | 6-7PM | Link in bio to register!

🌸 Policy Spotlight: EO 26-01 makes WA workplaces recognize menopause, provide accommodations & cut discrimination tied to symptoms — critical for Black, Asian & Latina women, who often enter menopause earlier.

One policy. A bigger message: Black women’s health = workplace equity. 💜

Shoutout to and BUILD for the research powering these convos 🙌🏾

🗳️ More sessions: Aug 19 & 26, 6-7PM

Black Women Build the Ballot continues this Thursday — and Session 2 is all about our workplaces, our well‑being, and our power.

Washington’s Black women in the public sector have spoken:
Microaggressions. Bias. Unsafe reporting systems. Stress that isn’t “just stress” — it’s systemic.
And still, we rise. We organize. We build.

Join us as we break down the data, uplift our stories, and chart what Black women actually need to thrive: safety, dignity, transparency, and real pathways to leadership.
