THREAD: Over the last couple of days I’ve been thinking a lot about how every time I’ve been stopped or followed by police, I have called my mom as a witness just in case, as a source of strength.

I called her today b/c the news cycle has just been so heavy & hard to watch.
We cried a little but she made me feel a teensy bit lighter. We’ve always talked on the phone A LOT but over the last year, she has been calling me almost every day. Today, she said it is because she’s even more worried about something happening to me.
And my guess is that black moms all over the country are doing the same thing more than ever before. So be sure to call your Mama today. You probably need it and so does she.

Take care of yourselves, y'all.
