"The choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both." - Barack Obama<br />
<br />
I’m the proud mother of two remarkable Black children. My oldest son, Roland turned 13 in June. My youngest son, Joshua is 10, and both boys are friendly, kindhearted, athletic, and smart.<br />
<br />
For as long as I can remember, I have been an advocate for social justice. As a young adult in Boulder, Colorado, I advocated to dismantle a nearby nuclear facility, marched in the 2017 Women’s March, and most recently joined thousands of supporters for “Black Lives Matter” both here in Atlanta.<br />
<br />
As a community, we all have a responsibility to build a strong and accepting society in which no child has to grid himself or herself against prejudice, hatred, and mistreatment. The nation is crying for change and I continuously reflect on how to become more of an agent of healing as we prepare for the days ahead.<br />
<br />
Steps to continue growing:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Engage in conversations around race.</li>
<li>Support local and online Black businesses.</li>
<li>Learn about other cultures and work towards being advocates and allies for historically minoritized groups.</li>
</ul>
<br />
I think the best thing we can do for each other and ourselves, is to come together as a community. Listening with open hearts and minds and being willing to engage in self-reflective work - even when it's difficult or uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
I stay prayerful for my sons and other Black boys and men. We are seeking justice, safety, and peace.<br />

Our <span class="_5afx" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; unicode-bidi: isolate;"><span class="_58cm" style="font-family: inherit;">Juneteenth</span></span> story:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Morris Robinson was born around 1839 and had sandy blond hair, blue-green eyes and fair skin. His father was a plantation owner in West Georgia and his bi-racial mother worked in the house.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Morris was a slave.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When Morris was about 8 years old, his own father sold him to an Alabama planter named Marable for $500. That day, Morris Robinson became Morris Marable and he never saw his mother again.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
During the Civil War, he ran away with his sweetheart and about $40 worth of gold. Together, Morris and his wife created a new life for themselves and raised their children to be compassionate, God-fearing, entrepreneurial, and civic-minded members of society.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I'm proud to be the great-great granddaughter of slaves. On this special day in U.S. history, I encourage all of us to celebrate the creativity, innovation, and contributions of African-Americans throughout U.S. history and around the world.</div>

“A Change is Gonna Come.” - Sam Cooke <br />
<br />
This is the first weekend that I’ve spent with my mom at her home since the COVID-19 outbreak. I haven’t been to a salon in months, and with all that’s happening in the world with the global pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests, I found a moment of peace within myself while she was braiding my hair today. Being together was restorative. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It’s my hope that we find real change. It’s time people in power stop talking and start doing. Ar<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">e we really going to root out systemic racism given all that has brought us to this point? If so, it’s going to take time and leaders in power to really listen and start taking action. </span><br />

<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
As a community advocate, I’m energized by the diverse participants who are leading protests around the world. Our participation is a vital part of the movement and our enthusiasm for real change NOW speaks volumes. <br />
<br />
My promise as a former Fulton County candidate is that I will hold leaders in all spaces accountable for their actions, and that I will work hard with other like-minded individuals and organizations to get out the vote in November so that we can see this same collective energy for real positive change at the polls. <br />

How do woke minds breathe in the middle of a COVID-19
pandemic that is disproportionately affecting Black and brown communities;
all while across the country protesters are rising up advocating for peace and
justice because of another unlawful killing of a black man at the hands of
police?</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I am a peaceful protester. For as long as I can remember,
I have held a protest sign in my hands waving it in the air among 60-something year old environmentalists in Boulder, Colorado, to co-creating lactation pods for
moms at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and at the 2017 National Women's March on Washington, and most recently chanting “Black Lives Matter”
among like-minded spirits walking towards the Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I’ve never been one to watch the coverage, but have
always been a part of the movement protesting against hatred of every kind.
Having studied civil disturbances in graduate school, I understand the history
and measures employed by white supremacists and terrorists cowardly
infiltrating and misplacing blame against activists shining light via protests
of violence against Black and brown bodies. Additionally, the media consistently
mislabels protest coverage further exacerbating stereotypical notions of blacks
as “thugs” vilified on front pages of newspapers and social media. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The nation is crying for change. And the leader in charge
is the worst example of leadership possible, one who has never been detached
from racism and one who actively promotes and instigates acts of oppression on
all of its forms. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I believe the majority are standing up to the minority of
those who hate and are collectively championing for effective and positive
change. I continuously reflect on how to become more of an agent of healing as
we prepare for the days ahead. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I’m the proud mother of two remarkable Black sons. My
oldest son, Roland turns 13 on Saturday. His hair makes him taller than his
dad. He is quite, kindhearted, and smart. Yet summer travel plans have changed
not because of the worst pandemic in 100 years, but because of the state of
America. I am stressed being out with my sons and husband navigating daily
errands or leisure time outside our home for fear of coming across a crooked
racist who understands their power and fate over my Black family's lives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The president isn’t acknowledging the pain and agony of
our country's state, the 400 years of systemic racism. We are seeking justice,
safety, and peace. I stay prayerful for my sons and other Black boys and men. Now I’m entrusting in our
teachings and God’s will to protect them when away from under my roof. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Barack Obama is right -- "the choice isn’t between
protest and politics. We have to do both."<o:p></o:p></div>

A number of people have privately reached out to me,
asking how I'm doing and what they can do to be supportive. I appreciate all of
this and I think the best thing we can do for each other and ourselves, is to
come together as a community. Listening with open hearts and minds, being
willing to engage in self-reflective work and active allyship - even when it's
difficult or uncomfortable - is what the world needs right now.<o:p></o:p></div>

With 20 years of public service experience, I am eager to bring a fresh perspective to Fulton County. Like my namesake, I speak truth to power and am passionate about people and service. I look forward to sharing my vision for the Mighty 6 District of Fulton County over the next several weeks. <br />
Support my campaign at the $101, $50, $20.19 level and join me on what will be an incredible journey for social change. <br />

Father’s Day weekend is here and so we pause to salute Dads everywhere! One
thing we all have in common is we all have Dads! Whether it’s our biological
father,... a stepdad, a big brother or just the family friend who fills the
void by showering us with his love and care, we say thank you, and love you!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
As I prepare to take the mantle of leadership as District 6 Commissioner in
Fulton County this September, I do so humbly, knowing that I would not be
prepared and ready if it were not for all those special men—dads, granddads,
uncles, brothers, sons and friends—who have been a part of my journey.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Happy Father’s Day!<br />

4. Recommendations from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office to
better serve our youth, community and ultimately justice for all
citizens.<br />
