I’m here to do my #BlackJob at the Democratic National Convention. Last night, I had the privilege of addressing over 50,000 delegates and guests on the power of the collective. As we head to the upcoming election, remember that we have the power to create change. That’s why we’re recruiting volunteers to help us turn out the vote this November. Sign up to volunteer with us: https://bit.ly/4b8Qwu9 And you can view my full speech here: https://bit.ly/3MckKSz #NAACPatDNC #AllIn

I delve into these concerns and discuss the potential consequences in my full interview with NewsOne. Check it out to understand why this issue matters and what’s at stake: https://bit.ly/4cDHENu

Aside from the energy leading up to tonight's historic nomination acceptance, the diversity here at the #DNC is amazing...and intentional. In 1964, Fannie Lou Hamer's speech at the Democratic National Convention paved the way for Mississippi's first racially integrated delegation. To directly experience the fruits of her - and other civil rights leaders' - labor 60 years later has been an overwhelming experience. Working to share that context and energy visually this week over on the blog. Head there to give it a read: https://lnkd.in/dMwjPiBr #NAACPatDNC
