Kimberle Crenshaw is a Black civil rights advocate and a scholar of Critical Race Theory who coined the term "Intersectionality." She reminds us that there are complex relationships between all identities and the impact of structures of oppression, especially for Black women, Black genderqueer folks, BIPOC, Disabled people, LGBTQ people, and immigrants. #Intersectionality #DisabilityJustice [Image Description: White text reads "KIMBERLE CRENSHAW. There are many, many different kinds of intersectional exclusions - not just black women but other women of color. Not just people of color, but people with disabilities. Immigrants. LGBTQ people. Indigenous people." Text is on an orange background.

Building our own for our own is legally possible under Art 1 of the Convention on Civil and Political Rights. Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) recognizes the right of all peoples to self-determination. This includes the right to: Choose their own form of government Pursue economic, social, and cultural goals Manage and dispose of their own resources Not be deprived of their means of subsistence Civil rights is not enough as it is the OPPOSITE of self-determination in this country which has made us beggars for the crumbs the white people may decide to throw to us. Our lawyers must study international humanitarian law in addition to American law to discern the path to the political and economic freedoms of the White people who exercise self-determination to our detriment

Remember upfront and always to live right sized, because life is usually not our game. Translated, never spend more then you make first, do everything in your power to flip the game to your game. If you flip the game do not copy off your former traducer who obviously failed if you were able to flip on them. Assume success you will flip, once you do treat all people the way you would have wanted to be treated. That means fairly, honestly and honorably. “There is not a right way to do a wrong thing.” My favorite CO from RS Baltimore MD 😊🙂🤓🤫🫶🏽👍🏽🙏🏽 PS: Develope your greatest asset, your subordinates and seniors and peers.

🕰️ This video might be almost 20 years old, but the message still rings true today. Most of you know that I work full-time for a digital marketing agency. Working for a large corporation can often make you feel like a tiny grain of sand in a vast operation. That’s one of the reasons I truly cherish my personal ventures. As a black business owner and landlord, I've seen firsthand the disparities in housing, especially in Philadelphia. When I started purchasing properties in Philly, I was appalled by how poorly black tenants were treated. Many lived in homes with rats, severe root damage, and rotting doors, all while paying as much as $600 a month. It was heartbreaking to discover that these conditions were often perpetuated by black landlords. I now own three properties and counting, ensuring my renters have homes I'd be proud to live in. I primarily work with programs like the rehousing program, which helps women, often black women, escape abusive relationships and find healthier environments. It's unimaginable that anyone escaping trauma should end up in a rat-infested home, especially one provided by a fellow BIPOC. Providing quality living conditions restores dignity and can even save lives. It's unacceptable to prioritize profit over the well-being of those in desperate situations. We must do better for our communities, lifting each other up and ensuring everyone has a safe, dignified place to call home. Let's take better care of all, especially by uplifting our own communities. 💪🏾🏠 #BlackBusinessOwner #CommunityFirst #HousingEquality #PhiladelphiaHousing #UpliftOurCommunities
