Honored to appear on @NewsHour last night. "We can blow up the myth that I’m a self-made success." to.pbs.org/2oIN1bj

As a parent of Black children, I’ll never fully be able to understand what it would be like to walk through life in their skin, but it is worth the effort to educate yourself - about both our history and the racism and inequality still with us today.

Happy Juneteenth! I wrote this article reflecting on America today throughout history: link.medium.com/tnpGF5X1r7

Woah - I haven’t posted anything on social media in over 2 years! Just getting on today to share an article I wrote...

Boom! There is hope that decency can win in America in the end. Thank you, Black women. #AlabamaSenateRace

Why #BoycottKeurig is Trending: 👉 @SeanHannity said it was okay for Roy Moore to rape 14 year old girls if it was “consensual” 👉 Keurig cancelled its advertising on his show 👉 Republicans are angry Keurig doesn’t support the God-given right to have “consensual” sex w/ kids

To target hopeful young strivers who grew up here is wrong, because they’ve done nothing wrong. My statement: facebook.com/barackobama/

Things are rarely pure good or evil. America has been a force for good in the world, yet it was built on the backs of slavery + suffering.

@SocialSciNerd That's awesome! Would love to hear their responses processing through it.

@rkeni2 @NewsHour Definitely don't want to "blow up individual responsibility"! Please read: medium.com/greenroom/whit… - particularly the bit ton hard work.

@NJM5770 Thanks! Hopefully people in similar positions were watching and their view on the world shifted toward providing opportunity to others.

@jerl_louk Thanks! That was my first time on TV. Kind of crazy! Glad to have that message out there.

@SullivansProjs @NewsHour Not sure I follow your analogy. No shade to Jordan, but I wasn't saying anything disparaging about any group in that piece...

@Fabrizio_tl @NewsHour Which part was that? No one should feel shame for the color of this skin. I certainly don't.

@HannahDrake628 @NewsHour Unfortunate, but you are right. I'm not saying anything new, but it feels new to people who haven't seen someone who looks like me say it.

"We can blow up this myth that I'm a self-made success...I had something to do with it, but I also had some serious help." —@jasford #IMHO
