Hi, I’m Maisha. I’m an #Accountable Millennial, and in two separate moments of stress leading to today, I bought a Stitch onesie online and downloaded Tick Tock... which lead to this moment of joy. Find it where you can friends and take care. • #GoVote #VoteBlue #VoteHimOut #iamavoter #TheFutureIsVoting #vote #whenweallvote #VoteJoe https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJd_JtJ_EL/?igshid=qsvwoudtvx6w

“Go.” By Maisha Grace __________________________________ Fearing what lies ahead, I sit and dream past the horizon. Through my thoughts, small and faint, a siren calls to me. Her song skips across the waves. “Go.” Fearing what lies beneath, I fight to pull my feet from the edge. Like the tide, the call tickles at my toes. Coaxing me out to the open sea. “Go.” I breathe in her fragrant possibility. It floats by on the sea breeze. It lifts me up like the waves. “Where to?” I listen for her new guidance, but her instructions echo the same. “Go.” Fearing what lies ahead, I sit and dream past the horizon. Through my thoughts, small and faint, a siren calls to me. Her song skips across the waves. “Go.” ——————————————— Real talk, I’ve never been able to keep a journal. As a writer, the irony isn’t lost on me. Neither was the desperate need for an outlet to freely express how I feel with out the need for spell check. Searching for an outlet, my subconscious had my back. Out of the blue I was reminded of a beautiful oil pastel art set I had when I was younger. The HOURS I would spend on the floor on my room drawing away. I loved the traces on the carpet the pastels would leave behind. My mother did not, especially when we had to had to change the flooring of the whole house due to my happy accidents. (Yes, I know. And yes, she still won’t let me live it down to this day.) Luckily now, with aged wisdom and there always being “an app for that”, I was led to the Art Set App. I’m not affiliated with the app in anyway and this post is by no means sponsored. I just wanted to share if you too are looking for an outlet. Of course, with any app with a free and premium version there are certain features you’d have to pay to use, but the free version has brought me such joy and helped me on “one of those days” and I figured I share #accountablemillennial #blackcreators #blackcontentcreators #blackgirlmagic #artsetapp #digitalart #arttherapy #selfcare #blackmentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcchzxJPci/?igshid=zm3al9ivn3ix

When all you wanna do is shout and start a riot.... but everyone keeps telling you to be quiet...... • • • Whilst in school, I noticed a pattern between me and my fellow POC classmates. We all would be given the same songs. No matter what class we were in. To me, that meant our teachers and coaches weren’t evaluating our talent or our vocal range. But our skin tone. I would hear “Astonishing” over and over (and over) echoing in the halls and have always wanted to sing it for myself. So here I go.... almost. Boy do I miss my fellow musical theatre nerds. Please wear a mask. #Passthemic #MusicalTheater #Singer #Actor #BlackMusicalTheater #AmplifyBlackVoices #wearamask • • • Arrest the cops that killed #BreonnaTaylor : #JonathanMattingly #BrettHankison #MylesCosgrove • • • • • #AhmaudArbery #BraylaStone #BreonnaTaylor #DominiqueRemmieFells #ElijahMcClain #GeorgeFloyd #IyannaDior #MerciMack #OluwatoyinSalau #RayshardBrooks #RiahMilton #SandraBland #SeanReed #TonyMcDade #TrayvonMartin #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKczMAJBVG/?igshid=cau3ym06jopj

I’ve been trying to figure out how to say what I want to say and I can’t.... so here it is off the cuff... Earlier today I went to the dentist. The only reason I went was because I felt like it was an emergency. I wore a mask and remain socially distant from the people around me. Seeing the area got busier I decided to stand on the far side of the parking lot. After a while on my phone a voice startled me when out of no where I heard “You can lean on it if you like!” I look over an see a lone man standing by the car closest to me. I say “No thank you.” Assuming he’ll just get into his car and go. Realizing he was still talking I backed away and he took a step to match mine. Phone in hand, I quickly turned on my camera and started to record as I felt stuck. Behind me was a busy street and the dentist office was behind the man. So I started to film in case anything would happen. I saw an opportunity to leave when I felt the conversation drifting from over friendly unsolicited small talk to something that made me feel very comfortable. That’s when you see me move and I cut off the video. What you don’t here at the end of the is the man saying “You’ll know I’ll do anything to talk to you.” I was able to call my mom after the whole incident crying as I walked home. Which felt like a video game maneuvering through the People not wearing face covering or keeping the recommended safe physical distancing practices. Once I got home I cried harder. Because I made it home. I was okay. I was happy the worst case scenario was a man sexually harassing me.... I still don’t know what to say...and that’s okay. I’m realizing now it’s in action that things will be okay. • • • • • #BreonnaTaylor #ElijahMcClain #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeForBre #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter #NoJusticeNoPeace https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrD6q6pNyC/?igshid=15rtn9r9dvk4x

#BreonnaTaylor #JusticeForBre #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter #Repost @djalibc with @get_repost ・・・ Happy Sunday! A reminder that #BreonnaTaylor was murdered, and the cops who took her life are still free. Let’s not get lazy. Go harder for Breonna. What Happened to Breonna Taylor? 🔺 Breonna Taylor was an award-winning EMT and first responder in Louisville, KY, who loved helping her patients and her community. "She was an essential worker. She had to go to work," her mother, Tamika Palmer said of her dedication to standing on the frontlines of this pandemic. 🔺 On the night of March 13th, the Louisville Metro Police executed a warrant, looking for drugs they never found, reportedly trafficked by a person who did not live with Breonna or in her complex-and whom they already had in custody. 🔺 They sprayed her home with 20 rounds, shooting Breonna 8 times, killing her in her bed. Neither the Louisville Metro Police nor Mayor Greg Fischer have given her mother any answers. "Not one person has talked to me. Not one person has explained anything to me," Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, said in an interview. "I want justice for her. I want them to say her name. There’s no reason Breonna should be dead at all.” Ways to help Breonna Taylor get justice: 🔸 SHARE this post: although social media does but so much, let’s keep her story alive. 🔸 POST about Breonna, using the hashtags #BreonnaTaylor and #JusticeForBre. Share her story, images of her smiling face, and tag the responsible parties. On Twitter, use @LMPD, @LouisvilleMayor, and @GovAndyBeshear. On Instagram, use @LMPD.ky, @MayorGregFischer, and @GovAndyBeshear. 🔸 MAKE CALLS & SEND EMAILS for Breonna to the investigative agencies, institutions and individuals in charge and make the demands known, available at: action.justiceforbreonna.org 🔸 DONATE to the Louisville Bail Fund to get protestors released: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/louisville-community-bail-fund/ 🔸 DONATE to the Justice for Breonna Taylor Go Fund me: gofundme.com/f/9v4q2-justice-for-breonna-taylor Con amor, Djali #blacklivesmatter #blackwomenmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CCkRPbbJHtl/?igshid=5nuvf1yt6d8m
