Behaving While Black

“We don’t have anything to be ashamed of. Somebody told a lie one day...but I want to get the language right tonight. I want to get the language so right that everybody here will cry out: YES! I’M BLACK. I’M PROUD OF IT. I’M BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL!” Straight from the mouth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. . . . . #behavingwhileblack #drmartinlutherkingjr #mlk #mlkjr #imblackandimproud #blackisbeautiful #knowyourworth #believeinyourself #youaresomebody #selfdetermination https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwlNbAhYOr/?igshid=12bb7kh4syh8v

August 22 is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, showing how far into 2019 Black women must work to earn what White men made in 2018. That’s 9 extra months! Even worse, the gap has widened since last year. Black women disproportionately are heads of households, they make up the largest group of minority women-owned businesses, and they’re a key voting bloc with one of the biggest voter turnouts—when you lift up Black women, you lift up entire communities. They are phenomenal, and they deserve equal pay! @phenomenal tee benefits the Black Futures Lab. . . . #phenomenalwoman #phenomenallyblack #imgonnawin #thankblackwomen #blackwomensequalpay #wedeserveequalpay #blackfutureslab https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eQpagBII51MwP38u66d23isRkTtN_Jt_0rvQ0/?igshid=1gp3bbozs3y9i
