Proud mom moment. Jax has been advocating for a long time, but today, Jax went without me. Seven meetings today on both the Senate and House side to lobby for the Safe Step Act. It started with a letter to @senatorboxer and now taking meetings in Feinstein’s office. #HippoOnTheHill #dowhatyoulove #bethechange (at US Capitol) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpd1vjVsn6R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Decisions are coming and I’ve received two out of eight of my choices so far. I never thought this day would come. Going back to school, finishing with three AA’s, transferring to a UC and finishing with law school was a dream. So far two things have become a reality. • When I was diagnosed with #ulcerativecolitis I thought my life was gonna change. As I got sicker, I gave up on my dreams. But now I’m back on track and ready to move forward. 2 decisions down, 6 more to go! Let’s go, April!!! Mama, I made it! Jaxxy, mama made it! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb1MI-Wr77M/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am sure some of you are wondering why I keep asking for money for @ibdmoms . Well, because we have a lot of amazing opportunities to help patients and caregivers affected by #inflammatoryboweldisease . • What is #IBD? Its inflammatory bowel disease, which is an umbrella term for conditions that involved chronic conditions in your digestive tract. Crohn’s Disease that affects your whole tract from mouth to anus. And ulcerative colitis, which is centered in your colon. Symptoms may include fatigue, bloody stools, frequent bowel movements, urgency, nausea, extreme pain. As well as extra intestinal manifestations that include joint pain, skin disorders, eye inflammation and more. There is no cure, but there are treatments available to help patients live a better quality of life. • @about_ibd and I started #IBDMoms because as a patients who were mothers, we realized that there was a lack of support or a hub of resources for those who are patients interested in motherhood, those patients in the throws of motherhood and those caregivers who are also mothers. • We started IBDMoms with a hashtag and twitter chats in 2018 to see if there was an audience, and we had an incredible response. So in 2020, we decided to make the program an official 501(c)3 so that we could expand our reach and programs. • Your donation will help to fund programs and support systems that impact real patients. Such as : ✔️ THE IBDMOMS SUMMIT ✔️ THE IBDMOMS PODCAST ✔️ THE IBDMOMS COFFEE BREAK GIFT And so much more! Please swipe and see what your donation helps us to provide for patients. • We appreciate you and all of your support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🤍🤍🤍 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8p33GLB3L/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happiest of Birthdays to my big sister, my bestie and my baby’s godmommy!!! Ess, you have a constant for 20 years. You are a such a blessing a light. You have made me laugh at the most appropriate and inappropriate times. You have been my ride or die, ready to hold my hand or box someone. You have been the voice of reason and the push into adventure. You are the best mom and godmommy. The best friend and sister. I’m so grateful you were born, because literally life would be so freaking boring without you. Love love love you! The next chapter is gonna be so lit!!! Wherever God takes you on your journey, know we will be right there cheering you on! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsA2kjvvWl/?utm_medium=tumblr

I had the absolute honor and pleasure of meeting Mr. Poitier when I was a teenager. My mom’s friend @deirdredixhunt invited me to an event the Board of Directors for the DGA was hosting for Sidney Poitier. She was on the board, she knew I wanted to be a director, so she invited me to the event. I studied movies. I watched every genre, learned about the actors, writers, producers and directors. People like Sidney Poitier, Lucille Ball, Ruby Dee, Cary Grant, Juanita Moore, Desi Arnaz, were just as important in my teenage heart as Brad Pitt and Halle Berry. So I was excited to go and hear him speak. Well, I got to meet him and he signed my grandma’s book. He was kind and very generous with his time. He talked to me about school and what not. He was genuinely interested in the path I was going to take to reach my goals. I told him that I hoped to one day be a member of the Director’s Guild. He said to make being a board member a goal instead. In essence he said not to sell yourself short in any aspect of life. My budding career in Hollywood was cut short because of complications while living with #IBD. But the conversation I had with Mr. Poitier that night made a significant impact and could be applied to all aspects of life, love and career. I take his words with me and cherish them. He profoundly impacted all of our lives in some way through his cinematic work, his philanthropy, his community engagement and service. So grateful that I got to have that moment with such an incredible human. Thank you, Sir. With all of our love, thank you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYeyXn-vTiU/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been holding it together with floss and a paperclip, but I kinda snapped today. My tests were canceled because of covid numbers and I cannot shake this pain and fatigue. I literally just want these conditions just to chillax for a bit and give me some room to breathe for a second. I’ve stuff to do and its taking me waaaay too long to accomplish each flipping task. It’s also super duper frustrating to watch people just continue to take risks with other people’s lives and preventing some of us from living a better quality of life and health. I am tired of living in this pandemic. I am tired of being sick. I am tired of watching people take their health and wellness for granted. I am tired of watching people be inhumane to others and careless with our planet. I am legit Oscar the Grouch today. And none of my delicious coffee and kale chips could fix that today. Meh. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYaPb29JH42/?utm_medium=tumblr

#kwanzaa is a celebration of heritage, culture and community. This has been a tradition in our family for the past few years thanks to my baby brother, Kirby guiding our participation in this. It has helped us dig deep into vocalizing and acknowledging those around us and those we come from. Its such a great way to end and start a new year with this type of reflection, acknowledgment, respect and inspiration. • Today we celebrate the principle of UJAMAA: Cooperative Economics. So today, support businesses, foundations and advocacy groups owned by Black individuals. I will start with some please tag others in the comments to keep it going. • @ibdmoms @gigglesla_ @realonesstillexist @naturalglowskincarela @hollyrodfdn @colorofcci @mindfulfee @phenomenal @post21shop @wink_lashstudio @gutlessandglamorous @blackingastro https://www.instagram.com/p/CYFjBwtPvdZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
