Yesterday, our nation and world lost a giant of a leader, public servant, women’s rights advocate, warrior for justice, in the passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee

There was never a time that I called on The Congresswoman and she wouldn't move mountains to join us in our fights for justice!

One of those examples of her showing up for the fight for justice took place, 3 years ago on July 15, 2021, when she joined Black women and our allies in a rally and peaceful protest fighting for federal voting rights reform on Capitol Hill.

Not only did she show up, she went to jail with us!

I will 'never forget to remember' The Congresswoman, Sheila Jackson Lee, and will keep her legacy alive by fighting for our rights, freedoms, democracy and justice for our people every day that God grants me on this earth.

Praying for her family and may she rest in eternal peace and power...

Black women are underpaid and undervalued, but today we rise together to demand change. Let's hold lawmakers accountable and urge them to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. Pay disparities are a policy choice and it's time we made different choices.

Black Women's Equal Pay Day — Equal Pay Today Raise awareness about the wage gap Black women experience in the workplace, and how to close it!

The wage gap for Black women is not just a statistic—it's a barrier to economic security and generational wealth. Join the movement!
