@WachiraLynne @goteamliberia If these announcers don’t stop disrespecting us and saying he’s from Florida and Liberia, I’m going to lose it. He’s Liberian made, through and through. Put some respect on our name! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Joseph Fanbulleh was Africa’s only finalist of the 200m at the Tokyo Olympics at just 19.
The Liberian 🇱🇷 takes the 200m heats lane at Stade De France tonight.
His goal has remained, “ Changing his country’s image”. @goteamliberia

.@chenderson won my vote for re-election today. She spoke, breaking down in tears, against cuts to early education. I have rarely been so moved by an elected official's words before in my entire life. #PayEquityFund

In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.

Food trucks are great but no to them blocking the major artery that is 14th St. around the memorial mall before 10am and after 4pm on weekdays. Every day, food trucks in front of the @NMAAH after 4pm cause the biggest bottle neck for bridge traffic. @WashProbs
