Breaking news just came through to reign on you as Kamala is the melanated democratic vice president running mate of Joe Biden. This is a great big deal but we know it will not Appeal to all individuals. Thats cool! We are used to fighting for our human rights like Breonna's life and the things we believe in, despite suppression. We have strong healthy roots to maintain our mental health by any means necessary. You can pay attention to these wonderful mentions and maybe even the republican national convention.
OOOLALA IT'S KAMALA
Don't you stop that black girl rock, you use your magic, everywhere. Don't stop that black girl rock Kamala. You use your magic and spread it everywhere! I had to get that "gone girl" magic jingle out of my system before I talked about this historic moment. I do comprehend Kamala wasn't the first choice for some of your selections. She is still a certified Power-Pretty Mama. We are over all of that. Isn't this one of the sweetest things you've been exposed to? To be an eyewitness to a black woman being elevated to one of the highest positions is nutritious for the world. I wish my Lula could be here to see this moment. I mean, black women have paid their dues as they have overcame all kind of uncool-cruels of the democratic and republican party shenanigans. Striving, thriving, plus slaying, to represent folks who look like them hasn't been "no crystal stair" for black women. If elected to be the next vice president of the United States, Kamala will release even more of her South Asian and African American magic on all women but particularly ladies and girls who represent the majority vote. Oh, you didn't know how much they need that black and brown vote? Now ya know! Kamala Harris is a multiracial woman who rocks!

NO MORE QUIET, NO MORE SHAME
Taraji P. Henson is the new face that is changing the game in mental health. The Root Institute is another lovely extension of The Root, where they interview different celebrities who share their stories, movements, and agendas. The theme is always going to be black folks. The Root Institute points out how Taraji was diagnosed as bipolar while in college. She felt ashamed and of course didn't disclose her mental illness to others. In the black and brown community mental illness is often overlooked and not treated. We need leaders and resources that are able to help those struggling with mental illness, not throw them in prison. Depression and bipolar disorder are two of the more prevalent disorders I have been exposed to seeing in my friends and family. When you continue to put mental illness in the face of those who are not comfortable with it, it helps to massage the mindset of people. Then they become aware and more receptive. Using your influence and platform to tackle mental illnesses is huge. Kudos to Taraji.

BLACK REPRESENTATION
The vote for the presidency with suppression stuck in between bothers me. Is this the American freedom of liberty and justice for all? Is it? How is suppression freedom? In the history books how is President Trump's legacy going to look? He is going through so much unnecessary hassle to prevent people from voting. A blind man could see that. Did I read a different memo? President Trump wants to use law enforcement to bully the United States Postal Service because he believes that there will be illicit tampering with those who use the mail to vote. The suppression is of course, erroneous. The spirit of suppression was made in the good old USA. It is coming from the executive level. Lord have mercy on us! As Americans we've been gathered here before by a very strong cloud of white supremacy, concerning folks who lusted to smother our vote (black folks). There are those of you in the black diaspora who will not vote. You passionately believe your vote don't truly matter. I have to respect that but it has always been about black people having their own representation. Do you really want to give your voice and choice away so freely? Do you understand what is going on right now, in 2020? I pray in light of those individuals who want to take your right to vote away, you do something about it this time. I know some people don't care about their ancestors bleeding and dying for their right to vote. I reverently articulate to you, what about their sacrifices they did for you?

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
This convention was rather interesting. Donald Trump Jr. had me wanting to change my mind and join the republican party. He went hard for his dad. I thought his energy was explosive. He was so fired up. Of course I didn't agree with everything but I did like his speech. Kimberly G had a great speech as well. Nikki Haley lost all of my respect when she lied to herself and said America was not racist. Gurrrrl, bye! That is the issue. They can't even admit it. I seriously do not think either party has put any effort into ensuring black people are treated as citizens. We are still fighting for the same freedoms our ancestors died for. I truly did enjoy the very first day of their convention.

BREONNA TAYLOR
Breonna Taylor's life and legacy is a travesty. I can't even say it is unbelievable because we have unfortunately been in this state before. There is a woman by the name of Ta-Nehisi Coates who took her sophisticated writing style to give Breonna Taylor's mom (Tamika Palmer) and sister (Janiyah Palmer) the honor and opportunity to share a little bit about her life in Vanity Affair.
Today I found out new information regarding Breonna Taylor's case. In my stentorian voice, let me boldly say, SO WHAT! It did not justify them killing her. New evidence is showing that Breonna was holding drug money for her ex-boyfriend. Maybe she made an unwise decision, yes. What she did was wrong and illegal. I get the fact if you place yourself in those connections with people who deal drugs you can jeopardize your life. The situation could have been handled better. I am sure the officers knew she was a professional woman as they watched her house. This can serve as a great example to women and men who are keeping drug money in their home for a drug dealer. Abort that mission. Again, there are two different sides of the story told when the current boyfriend of Breonna Taylor said they yelled "who is it" when the police claimed to be knocking at the door but the police didn’t respond. The police said they did announce who they were but didn’t get any response. Who do you believe? I know for a fact, the media loves to criminalize black folks. They are doing what they do best. The narrative is, see she was handling his drug money and hiding it for him so she got what she deserved. If they knew that she was keeping money for him, why was there even a reason to operate the way they did? Why not just question her, or arrest her if there was evidence? They knew she was not selling drugs. Be wise out there in those streets people. Somethings are not worth your life.
