On Nov 16, I'm hosting a birthday benefit party to create an intentional, powerful act of community care.

⠀

Our people in Jamaica are struggling to recover from a hurricane that has made even communicating the need extremely difficult.

⠀

Our people in Sudan have been suffering in silence through an escalating crisis that is only just now getting media attention.

⠀

Our people right here at home are facing hunger during the holidays because our government continues to play with SNAP benefits.

In a world that's showing us exactly what it is, we can’t wait for someone else to show up.

We can do this. We can be the ones. No institutions. No politics. Just people showing up for our people...

⠀

This is very personal, I grew up on food stamps when they were paper and colorful and you paid with some shame tbh. I've had the privilege of traveling in Jamaica and East Africa and both places have shaped me. We can't be onlookers in this.

Sending so much love to @nanakwabena, @corytownes, @niarasterling, @gabsoul_ , @actazif, @djdanglez, and @mahaneela.jpg. Without each of you saying YES (so fast!) this wouldn't even be possible.

⠀

Thank you to my sister @earleciarichelle and the homies at @ciaociaodisco for holding space for us.

⠀

And to my brother @jidenna for amplifying this so that everyone who wants to tap in is able to.
