There’s a BEAST in the @RealDonaldTrump White House Named Ms. @AliceMarieFree: Bold. Empowering. Advocate. Seeking. Transformation. "She saved the life and family of @CarlosWatson. She has saved countless others. She is straight Harriet Tubman 2.0, navigating the underground railroad of mass incarceration, guiding people from the depths of injustice to the light of freedom."

I’m grateful to be celebrating my 62nd birthday. SIXTY-TWO. Rejoice with me because grief didn’t consume me, pressure didn’t crush me, and disappointment didn’t defeat me. I’m very much here and on purpose. Next… #TheLegacyContinues #BeAKing

@MiaBLove So sorry to hear this news. Praying Gods Grace cover your entire family. 🙏🏾

Hello Friends, I’m Mia’s daughter Abigale. Many of you are aware that Mom has been fighting GBM brain cancer. Sadly her cancer is no longer responding to treatment and the cancer is progressing. We have a shifted our focus from treatment to enjoying our remaining time with her. I am building an archive of special memories with Mia. Please send your pictures, videos and memories to me at MiaLoveMemories@gmail.com. Thank you ❤️

HAPPENING NOW: @SBA_Kelly is welcomed to headquarters on her first day as Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration!

Sixty years ago, on this day in 1965, Brother Malcolm (el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) was assassinated. Gunned down in front of his wife and daughters. What a tragic day for humanity. I’m praying today for his daughters, who I love dearly. #MalcolmX

Election chaos aside: “What should the next generation of African-American owned banks look like?” Was great talking #business with @AshleyBellR CEO of Redemption Holding Co. ICYMI: Redemption is in the regulatory stages of acquiring a bank in Utah. forbes.com/video/c6b3965a…

Thank you to @MX for hosting such a great summit this week, and inviting me to moderate a discussion on a topic that isn't talked about enough these days: financial health and inclusion. Loved the conversation with @ashleybellr, @jentescher, and HBS Prof. Emily Williams.

On former President Jimmy Carter’s 100th Birthday, I have declared today “Jimmy Carter Day” in the State of Georgia to recognize his legacy as our 76th Governor and 39th President. Marty, the girls, and I send him best wishes as he and his family celebrate this milestone.

Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player – one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time. But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBA’s first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembe’s family and everyone who knew and loved him.

Happy 100th birthday, President Carter! Thank you for your friendship, your fundamental decency, and your incredible acts of service through the @CarterCenter. Michelle and I are grateful for all you’ve done for this country.

@TheRevAl My condolences and deepest respect for this reflection. May he rest in peace.

I’m deeply saddened to announce the passing of my father, Al Sharpton, Sr. Our relationship was complicated, but he was still my father. Over the past 18 years, I was able to work through my pain and feelings of abandonment, and we built a relationship that meant a lot to me. Born and raised in Jim Crow Florida, he later came to NYC and became a successful entrepreneur. Though his weaknesses may have cost him, he instilled in my sister and me (and later our other siblings) a mentality of independence and self-pride. I've learned from my own mistakes and from his. May my Daddy rest in peace.
