Can someone please explain to me how my baby brother has graduated college???? How!? I am not okay. So deeply proud of you Diegito @_diegohart Diego is one of the sweetest, most brilliant and loving human beings I know. Although Eb and I have been encouraging (read: pushy) about him continuing to pursue music, he continued to take music classes and practice in the music rooms while also studying for his Bachelors of Science in Finance. He doesn’t know it yet but I will absolutely be his first client as I still do not understand stocks and need a budget bad lol! Congrats Diego!! We love you!
Also, even if you have all the degrees- the training in sex therapy is minuscule in a MSW or psych program, please go get trained by sex educators and therapists. #drcheyennebryant

White people must give up power. Also do your due diligence to make sure the person you give to is actually Black. Guidelines:
â €
**BLACK TRANS FEMMES TO THE FRONT**
â €
1. Black people: You never need a reason to put your payment info. Don’t feel obligated to share more than just that!
â €
2. You can also give! Black folks giving to each other is something we do anyway, feel free to do that here as well.
3. Please post your name ONCE, posting again under someone else’s name will be deleted.
â €
White and NBPOC:
â €
1. Please share this post everywhere! Send a DM to the person you sent to with a “sent”!
â €
2. Don’t tell folks you gave, it’s not about you. That’s not the same as doing number one.
â €
3. Continue to agitate and demand the state give reparations to Black people. Write to your elected officials urging them to stand for reparations for Black people. We are all we got! #reparations
