Since 2016 we took a big leap of faith to open our very own vocational school component. We didn’t have any big corporate dollars or loans. We had #Hope and we are still serving! Thank you to @DOES_DC for funding us & @DCDPR!! Thank you to @AimeeCho4 for telling our story!

FREE DC JOB TRAINING: The @AMALALIVES program offers free culinary training to DC residents (many of whom are from Wards 7 and 8, and some are returning citizens). The goal is to help them find jobs in restaurants or start their own businesses @nbcwashington @DOES_DC

Baltimore, we will not rest until Jason Billingsley is brought to justice. I’ve been able to speak with Pava’s family, and our hearts are with them tonight. I am calling on everyone in our community, if you know something, say something.
BPD announces 1st Degree Murder warrant for 32 y/o Jason Billingsley in the killing of Pava LaPere. WATF & US Marshals are actively attempting to arrest him. Billingsley is armed & dangerous. Contact 911 if you come in contact with this individual. baltimorepolice.org/news/

I’m currently allowing myself to be tired. Allowing myself To relax. Allowing myself to just be. It’s harder than I ever imagined. I’ve never allowed myself to do any of that before…

White supremacy is a poison running through our body politic. We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America. Failure to do so will be complicity. Silence will be complicity. We cannot remain silent.
