An UPstander is someone who sees something and takes a stand. Here we will explore issues relating to social justice. Some posts will be motivational, some educational. Some times I may drop a rhyme or poem! The goal is to share stories and opinions that help us build a human family. Share your thoughts and share with others!

I sat down with i24 News in Israel for a debate on the implications of Tyre Nichol's murder. The rest of the panel included Newsweek Editor-in-Chief at Newsweek and retired detective & sargent Benjamin Salerno. We discussed everything from inherent racism in policing to whether it matters if his killers were Black officers. As Tyre's funeral ends today, let our activism never stop! #tyrenichols #blacklivesmatter

In this video, I'm sharing my thoughts on what we need to do in 2023 and beyond to discover our common humanity and work to find common ground in these uncommon times. In so many ways, it's now or never if we truly want to create Dr. King's beloved community where everyone can be celebrated and not tolerated! Let's GO! #upstander #diversity #equity #inclusion #liesaboutblackpeople #mlkday2023 #mlk

Wrote this song called “Yeezus ain’t Jesus and Kyrie ain’t King.” Would love your thoughts! I think people falsely make @kyrieirving & @kanyewest to be in the same boat on #antisemitism & #antiblackness. That’s not accurate and I break it down in this song as well. Nuance matters and just because they’re both Black men doesn’t mean they should be lumped together, especially if Jeff Bezos will get no attention for still keeping those products Kyrie tweeted on @amazon The lyrics are also below if you prefer to just read it. #kyrieirving #kyrieirving #kanyewest #kanye #ye

I stand with everyone who is fighting anti-semitism and being an UPstander and not a bystander. We cannot condemn Kanye and Kyrie without also speaking to the industries and companies that have also promoted either anti-semitism and and anti-Blackness.

Sharing my thoughts on #kanye and his #antisemitic comments as well as his anti-blackness. 2 clips here from #rolandmartinunfiltered with @rolandsmartin. In the second clip, I’m talking about how @foxnews was defending #kanye and his antisemitic statements BEFORE they even read the statements he made. #foxandfriends @foxandfriends.
