Ah yes, a video of the "non-cancel culture supporters", attempting to cancel their own party's senator, after the senator opposed the attempts of his party to cancel the election results. Quite the cancel cluster.
I find myself replaying this @DojaCat Grammys video more than I’d like to admit. The visionary aptitude necessary to concoct this performance’s choreography, composition and visuals and then have it executed it flawlessly is objectively insane.
Sound waves from NYSE trading post TVs resound in unison at higher than usual decibel levels as traders watched Christine Blasey Ford testify. Could decipher nearly every word of the hearing anywhere I walked, competing only with ringing phones at times. #KavanaughHearings

Getting acquainted with the stellar team and first live hit in the books today. *Yodels*
Equivalently elated that my commute has somehow been faster.
The only bank branch open was in midtown Manhattan, so I biked, passing through an empty Times Square where buses outnumbered all other vehicles, pedestrians were quantifiable on one or two hands and a Herald Square sans scores of shopping bags.

Today is hard.
People far before me showed up, marched, shouted, and fought for have the rights that I have.
I prayed to be in the job I have now, in business news.
Today, business news is the last thing I feel like talking about if the business isn't addressing racism head on.
As some know, I’ve decided to depart Cheddar at the end of the year.
I carry with me some amazing memories covering business, political and societal events that continue to shape our lives, alongside incredible professionals with whom I’ve spent the past 4 years.

So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!
Wow. @KingJames has done more philanthropy (over $45M) for at-risk youth than many millionaires would ever consider. The man puts his money where his mouth is, and hope he never chooses to "Shut up and dribble" because he represents the underfunded and often unheard.
When @Kaepernick7 took a knee a multitude spread the narrative it was “disrespectful to the troops” only to validate their own disdain rooted in (IYKYK).
Here’s evidence that people of color can be in the service and still be brutalized by police.
When dreaming of being in broadcast, not viewing my complexion as a hinderance was a struggle. In my youth and through high school I saw no one who looked like me in business news. 👉🏾 I needed this inspiration from @KherisPoppin back then, but received it today, for tomorrow.

I moved into this tiny Brooklyn studio never anticipating one day it would turn into my WFH “studio” and be shared with my gf and her cat during a world health pandemic. All things considered, the PA kid is peak happy. I wish nothing but the best for you all. Mad love.
Where I’m at: A somber return to NYSE before Thanksgiving —last here in March.

Ah yes, but tell the whole story, sans omissions: About Hattie McDaniel not being allowed at the film’s premiere; or about the Oscars being held at a Whites-only motel; or how she stacked reviews from her performance in front of the film producer just to have her name submitted.
HBO Max just removed Gone With the Wind from its platform citing concerns about racial injustice.
Here is the video of Hattie McDaniel becoming the first African-American to win an Academy Award for her role as Mammy in the film.
This isn’t just your typical economic prosperity ‘vote with the wallet or pocketbook’ election.
A logical question to ask would be, “am I consciously deciding that a Presidential candidate *not condemning white supremacy is still not a dealbreaker for my vote?”

To be clear, House Republicans who are messaging that impeachment proceedings will only further divide the country after voting not to certify Presidential election results, is hypocrisy.
NAACP is calling for their resignation.

Thank you, just thank you. Those were truly the only words I wish I got to tell this man in person. Battered, bruised and bit but never broken, you looked hatred in the eye and kept rising. May God bless and keep your soul, John Lewis.
An absolute honor to share even 15 minutes with the illustrious legend of the airwaves. Will forever cherish those moments and sending prayers to the family of Larry King.

Over megaphones, microphones and from our lips we grieved, shouted and cried out for change we demand to see delivered. We the people show up, we do the work, and we’re not finished; tangible change is just getting started. Keep that same energy and let’s get this work.
