When my mom and I drove over 1,600 miles from my hometown to San Francisco, our strategy was to get to our next location as quickly as possible so we could relax and have fun there. That meant we gave up on the way sightseeing for the most part...at least until we got to the salt flats of Utah. We couldn’t believe our eyes. We pulled over as soon as we could, and we went for a walk on what felt like the moon. Sometimes even with the best laid plans, you still have to pull over and see the view of this magical earth. #earthday

Sometimes we just need joy to stick to us as if we had accidentally touched our fingers to the sap of a tree.

Missing my fab five, sun hats, and the way I felt in Cuba. #blacktravelfeed

As a part of my “spend money on experiences and not things” life mantra: The best decision I made for myself so far this year was choosing a country to explore that is rich in culture & history and not technology & internet. To disconnect from my various screens in order connect with the people and environment around me was just what the doctor ordered after this particularly tough quarter. #springbreak2019

“Learning without reflection is a waste. Reflection without learning is dangerous.” —Confucius. . Taking a much needed vacation to do some reflection internet & cell phone free. I apologize in advance for my tardiness in responding. ✌🏽&🤘🏽.

What a beautiful day running a workshop for high school students with @museumoftolerance and @participant! We danced, we collaborated, we met two original freedom riders (Robert and Helen Singelton pictured here!), we challenged each other, and we broke bread. It was one of those soul reviving days where I remembered my purpose, and I feel so much gratitude for the young people who are paving a brave new future for us. . My biggest takeaway? I need to do more work with young people again as they really inspired me. I feel like I can take on anything now. 💪🏽 #americatome
