I know it’s been a minute…but here’s a fresh for you. Now I must warn you, tonight’s bar is not like the other ones I’ve posted. I’ve been at work today and unless you’ve been under a rock…the highest court in the land just did the unthinkable. The only thing that resonated with me while reading about it was one of the nastiest speeches delivered by none other than Malcolm X. This speech, “The Ballot or The Bullet” hit me like a ton of bricks today. I’ve read it many times but today…today was heavy. I realized that there are moments where a people either recognize what’s shifting…
or realize later they let it shift around them (stay close). Malcolm warned us that there are years that carry weight…where delay isn’t neutral, it’s costly.😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨When access to the vote is weakened or made uncertain, that’s not a technical glitch…it’s a signal🤌🏽🤌🏽 If access is under pressure attention must increase, why? Because disengagement doesn’t freeze outcomes…it lets them move without you😞😞. Say what you want about Malcolm but, he was clear: not reckless action, not provocation, but the right to protect dignity and community when protection feels uneven. Right now in this moment, that looks like lawful, disciplined engagement: knowing your rights, using them, showing up with intention🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽. 🗣️🗣️We must protect what matters while participating where it counts! Understand this, discipline is power…but presence is protection (that’s a whole word). I’m fitna say this with my whole chest…🗣️Stop pouring loyalty into places that don’t produce results🗣️.
Understand this…Not every system deserves your silence and not every leader deserves your trust‼️ If it doesn’t serve your community…stop serving it your energy🤌🏽🤌🏽. Control your participation, your information, your choices…or those choices get made for you. My prayer for tonight is simply this…God, give us clarity in a moment that demands it. Discipline to act with wisdom, and the courage to stay engaged without losing peace. Keep us anchored…and awake. ✌🏽✌🏽

Tonight’s comes by way of the book of Jude. You ever hear that one verse and you immediately remember what God has done for you? The text says, “Now unto Him, who is able to keep you from falling. And to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise god our Savior, be glory and majesty; dominion and power…”
It’s only four months into the new year…some of us are still here and we don’t even fully know how. Not because we got everything right…not because we were always strong….not because we never had moments where we almost lost it. 🗣️We’re here because God kept us🗣️🗣️ Somewhere between the tears, the pressure, the silent battles, and the days we just showed up because we had to…God was doing what only He could do🙏🏽This whole time, it wasn’t on us…it was on Him🤌🏽🤌🏽It’s wild because while we were trying to hold it together,
God never lost His grip😮‍💨😮‍💨. As a matter of fact, He never needed our strength to begin with. He just needed our yes, even if it was shaky.

If I can be fully transparent, there were moments I didn’t feel stable…moments I questioned myself and moments I didn’t even recognize the version of me I had become😢 Then I realized that I may have lost my balance …BUT I DIDN’T LOSE GOD🏃🏽‍♀️
I’m gonna hold your hand with a napkin and a piece of Tula’s fried fish when I say this…being kept doesn’t mean you never struggled, it means you were guarded while you did (Talk Johnson)! Ironically, that’s the part we don’t always shout about. God didn’t remove every hard moment….he didn’t cancel every breakdown…he didn’t stop every tear from falling. 🗣️He just made sure none of it took me out🗣️🗣️(I just quickened)

Stay with me because here’s where grace really starts to speak…‼️God doesn’t just keep us through it…He carries us beyond it‼️ He doesn’t present a version of us that’s broken, ashamed, and barely acceptable…Nahhh…He presents us covered…whole…and redeemed🙌🏽🙌🏽. Understand this…God presents who He covered, not who we used to be. And the wild part? He’s not doing it reluctantly…he’s not tolerating our journey.
He’s not annoyed with our process. He’s doing it with joy! Check this out..God celebrates what He kept(where’s that shoe throwing emoji).
Let that marinate in your Shondo for a minute😌😌 The same you that cried...the same you that doubted…the same you that almost gave up (yall don’t know when to shout) He looks at you with joy♥️♥️♥️
So tonight, we don’t end with pressure… “try harder.” or “get it together.”
We end with truth and it’s simply this…I didn’t hold on…HE held ME🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
And if He kept you through that…He will surely keep you through this✌🏽✌🏽
