build your own...... love it

"This is a new Black media ecosystem, and it is being built by people who were pushed out of white-owned media and decided to come home and build their own. Joy Reid did it. Roland Martin did it. Don Lemon did it. Angela Rye is reaching us directly through “Native Land Pod.”

And it is being built by leaders like Ashley Allison, who returned “The Root” to Black ownership and is using it to connect independent journalists and creators, giving a new generation room to lift up their stories.

The throughline is simple: we are cutting out the middleman, the white-owned platforms that filter our stories or frame them for someone else’s comfort."

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐀 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 | Trump the Truth: 'America Doesn’t Need a New Ballroom — America Needs a New President!'"

Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta didn’t hold back.
While Donald Trump pushes for a taxpayer-funded new ballroom at the White House, the Pennsylvania Democrat fired back with a powerful

message that’s going viral: “America does not need a new ballroom. America needs a new president.” Kenyatta called out the vanity project, saying it does nothing to address the real struggles facing everyday Americans — skyrocketing cost of living, healthcare, gun violence, and the daily battles of working families.

Instead of focusing on the people’s needs, Trump wants to spend millions on luxury and appearances. This moment hits hard. While many in power play games and build monuments to themselves, regular Black and working-class families continue to suffer under policies that ignore their pain.

Kenyatta’s words are not just a clapback — they’re a reflection of what millions are feeling: enough with the show, we need real leadership. What do you think? Is Malcolm Kenyatta speaking facts, or is he just playing politics?

Should the focus really be on helping working families instead of building another luxurious ballroom for the elite? Drop your honest thoughts below. This conversation needs to happen. 🇨🇩

Wait a minute…

The last slave ship to America 🇺🇸 arrived in 1860.

Read that again.

Just ONE year before the Civil War.

Most people were taught slavery as if it happened in some distant ancient past.

It wasn’t.

There were Africans brought across the Atlantic in chains who lived to see the war that would help destroy the institution that enslaved them.

That’s how close this history really is.

Not 500 years ago.

Not some forgotten era.

Just a few generations removed.

If your school didn’t teach you this, you’re not alone.

History becomes powerful when we stop memorizing dates and start understanding the people who lived them.

Excellence

This is truly historic! This visionary syndicate just completed a monumental real estate acquisition aimed at economic restoration. The historic rural township, originally established by independent merchants in the late 1800s, had suffered decades of severe population decline and corporate abandonment. The investor group plans to completely renovate the commercial district using local contractors, building affordable housing, an innovation hub, and a state-of-the-art agricultural center. Let’s congratulate this incredible team on their historic purchase!
