#YoungPersonTuesday 6.12.18

 

This week’s #YoungPersonTuesday is in honor of my favorite #youngqueen, my lil sister Nella, and  all the recent graduates! Nella graduated from preschool on Sunday and like all the other graduates this season, is absolutely destined greatness. I see so much in her and even at a young age, she has a fierce personality and refuses to let anyone block her shine. She is unapologetically herself and I hope that never changes. Stunt, sis! Keep it up, because there’s a world waiting to test you. And to all the other recent grads, remember this is your world, you have a place in it and no one can take that from you. #YoungQueenTuesday #youngqueentuesday #youngpersontuesday #Nellz

Today’s #YoungPersonTuesday is dedicated to the late Razan al-Najjar. She was a 21 year old nurse and volunteer medic murdered by Israeli forces as she was running, hands up, towards the wounded during a recent clash. Now I will not claim to know everything about the ongoing crisis between Israel and Palestine or the Israeli occupation of  Palestinian land but I do know that young people are dying, have been dying for decades. They’ve been Risking their lives for what they believe in. Razan was brave. I hope her bravery can inspire us to never back down on our quest for justice. Let us lift her and all the young Palestinian activists up in love and support as they continue to fight for what is right. Check out this video of Razan, shot a few days before she died (https://t.co/ZzDOZyt1Bv?ssr=true). Watch her passion, see her fortitude. Rest In Power, Razan#YoungPersonTuesday #YoungQueenTuesday #youngpersontuesday #youngqueentuesday

They hype of issue has died down but @littlemissflint has never wavered from her support. Just yesterday, she and others passed out over 135,00 bottles of yesterday in 90 degree heat.

I seem to always be super busy on Tuesdays but I’m going to get better! This late #YoungPersonTuesday post is dedicated to one of my students, Maria Gil. She’s a very dedicated and humble queen who’s trying to better her lives and the lives of those around her. It has been a particularly trying year for her but she’s still here! Her persistence and optimism in the face of constant turmoil is inspiring. She has many causes that are near and dear to her but her favorite one to support is the Lupus foundation. If the spirit moves you, please use  this link and donate to the cause in her name.

#YoungPersonTuesday Post 5.1.18

My baby bro called me this morning asking for advice for his upcoming book-bag drive in Cleveland. He wants to provide for as many children as possible and he needs donations! If you would like to donate, please comment or DM me. Furthermore, he’s inspired me to start a social media signaling boosting of dopeness. Every Tuesday, I will be highlighting one person (under the age of 25) doing great things in their community whose cause may need more publicity or funding called #YoungKingTuesday/ #YoungQueenTuesday / #YoungPersonTuesday. My network isn’t large but if everyone shared/reposted/retweeted someone, imagine how much impact we could have. So, my first #YoungKingTuesday is dedicated to my brother @djnel__ . He’s an amazing young man, doing great things, looking for any support he can get. Comment below if you’re interested in donating.
