"#Creativity is a form of #intelligence that we still do not know how to measure!" Mark challenges me to look at this work in #creative development, #braincapital/health and '#justice for all' in a whole new way. Enjoy! lnkd.in/g4Kqw_ci @DoveSoars @BMeCommunity

We are proud of ourselves, FAM, and our partners for the work we all do in building a world where Black people, alongside all others, are defined by their aspirations and contributions, not by limitations or stereotypes. #BlackLOVEPledge

@jarsofshine @MsIbegbuna Hi @MsIbegbuna Happy to share your inquiry with a few of our members who work in that area and get back to you!

@MsIbegbuna Maybe @bmecommunity?

Are there any fab organisations that provide bespoke online mentoring and support for black boys? I am working with a black teenage boy, currently in an all white school, who could really do with some culturally specific support with some nonsense he is facing. Thank you.

The @BMeCommunity brotherhood and all of our relationships will most definitely last a lifetime. No matter where we go in the world, we're able to reflect on how our bonds became stronger through this powerful network. It's always beautiful when you hear someone say Be Who? BMe!

While #Juneteenth means something different to everyone, the root is still the same. Our ancestors laid the foundation for Black L.O.V.E. and at BMe we will continue down the path until all Black people have the freedom to Live. Own. Vote. and Excel. #BMeCommunity #NextNarrative

When it comes to restoring the right to vote, @sheena_meade is helping lead the charge. Under Sheena’s leadership, The Clean Slate Initiative has helped pass legislation that provides a path for 6M people to receive full or partial record clearance. NextNarrativePledge.org

“It became very apparent to me that deficit-framing was the way that we told stories in impoverished communities and of people of color all the time. So I just wouldn't do it.” - @soledadobrien History maker and champion of the #NextNarrative NextNarrativePledge.org
