When I was interviewing for a job, I asked for a certain salary. The editor, a Black woman, made sure to say “Nah” and offered me $20K more. Even when I didn’t negotiate my salary well, she used her power to make sure I was paid well. Grateful for people like her.

@ProperlyZuri @KatiePMcGrady thank you also for sharing others stories about this issue, and using your voice to be a voice for others.

Remember when it was a big discussion that yoga pants weren’t really pants or didn’t count as pants. But we all kept wearing them as pants, and look at us now, we totally won

This is the first #Easter message that I would offer you: it is always possible to begin anew, because there is a new life that God can awaken in us in spite of all our failures. From the rubble of our hearts, God can create a work of art.

@elisecterry :(

Come, Lord Jesus, make our distracted hearts watchful. Awaken within us the desire to pray and the need to love.

Hey! I’m deleting this account permanently in a week. Thank you to everyone who stuck through a dozen years of incredible angst expressed in tweets.

My kids oncologist wants people to wear masks in order to protect little kids and adults on chemo. That’s enough for me. I’m in.
