PRIDE is about so much more than a month. I am always happy to celebrate because when people are able to be as much of themselves as possible it gives us all permission to be who we are as well. In a world full of people obsessed with dictating how others can just BE let’s find more ways and spaces to encourage love and people being celebrated in the skin they’re in!
Shout out to @grandrapidspridecenter for an amazing festival as always!

Please join me at my upcoming Community Conversations event on Monday, June 30th from 4-5 PM at the Gerald R. Ford Job Corps!
This month we will focus on updates from JobCorps and their work along with legislative updates. I am also joining my caucus in a statewide conversation asking Michiganders to tell us what their priorities are and how we can help.

Excited to join @aqume_foundation this Saturday for their annual 5k run.
Grateful for the work they do in this community and for them pushing us to get out and move. You should join us!

The next few days are going to be HOT 🔥🔥. Please find ways to stay safe and cool as we ride out the heat wave and check on friends and neighbors who may need help!

As we wrap up Juneteenth I am reflecting on the weight of this moment. The weight of where we were and are as a country.
Today was such a blessing to be surrounded by historians, community, and family. I soaked it all in and also took in the work ahead. We have work to do, but we know it can be done.
Thank you all for being with us in this moment. Progress may be delayed, but it’s not denied.

To Live and Die and Live is a powerful film that doesn’t shy away from hard conversations around grief, mental health, and healing.
Please join me for an exclusive screening and a real community conversation with voices I deeply respect, including Ilyasah Shabazz, Jash’d Belcher, and Rebecca Spann , as we unpack the truths this film courageously puts on screen. I can’t wait to moderate with this amazing panel!
🗓️ Thursday, June 26, 2025
📍 AMC Theaters | 3000 Alpine Ave NW, Walker, MI
🎟️ Free tickets available at Eventbrite.com
📸 Red Carpet at 6PM | Showtime at 7PM
This event is free and open to the public. If you care about the intersection of art, wellness, justice, and healing, this is an evening you don’t want to miss.
Let’s show up for each other. Let’s heal forward.

This weekend Alpha Phi Alpha held their scholarship brunch where they presented 7 scholars with academic scholarships. We truly have some amazing students in our community, their resumes are already something to be proud of. It was my pleasure to join a panel preparing them for the future as we celebrated their accomplishments.
Special thanks to @grandrapidsalphas for your work in our community!

Hey West Michigan, it’s 616 Day!
When I think about what growing up in the 616 meant to me I think of Millers ice cream, summer reading challenges at GRPL, baseball at King park, trips to the beach, sledding at Mulick, swimming at Garfield, bike rides at McKay park, and skating at Woodland on the weekends.
When you think of the 616 what does it mean to you? Whatever it is let’s keep creating spaces and opportunities for the next generation to create just as many memories!

Dads play such a significant role in our family’s, our communities, and in the shaping of this great nation. We know it’s not easy, but thank you to the fathers who are true examples of what leadership, love, and integrity look like.
You can always tell when a person has been poured into and loved by their parents. My hope is that my work reflects the love and guidance my dad provided. He is, and will always be the greatest man I know. Happy Father’s Day daddy!
