Shoutout to Lisa P. for putting this on my radar. This is a 3 part project that just started airing on Mother Jones called 40 Acres and a Lie, and it digs into the history of formerly enslaved Black people who not only received between 4 and 40 acres of land as reparations after the Civil War, but of how within a year or so the land grants were revoked to give the land back to the same planters who had enslaved recipients of said grants. 🇺🇸
The first episode just went up, and I like to think of it as an audio-documentary, since the word "podcast" has lost any semblance of credibility atp.
From Mother Jones:
Over the course of two and a half years, a team of Public Integrity reporters, editors, and researchers identified 1,250 Black men and women who had earned land as reparations after the Civil War. From there, the team conducted genealogical research to locate living descendants of many of those who had received and then lost the land. For the first time, these living Black Americans were made aware of the specific land that had been given to and then taken away from their ancestors.

Whew, chillay! This daily steps challenge has been transformative, and I'm really grateful for the experience. Please don't forget to 👍🏾 this post, and let me know below if y'all would want semi-regular ongoing check-ins (bi-weekly? weekly?), to keep up our steps together. 👇🏾💬
Here's the link to the Olaplex deals on Ulta* 👉🏾 https://rstyle.me/+bZMVec6R3ghMiWjUn1fetw

It's day 5 of my "10K steps by 10AM for 10 days" #fitness #challenge, which means that if you started your version of this with me on March 1st, we're officially halfway through our quest to 👏🏾 GET 👏🏾 THESE 👏🏾 STEPS!
I've done a lot of fitness challenges over the years, and this is easily one of my favorites (perhaps thee number one favorite!), ever. It's just so simple. There aren't a bunch of rules or opportunities to fall short day-to-day, which is making it very effective for me to commit to and succeed in using this as a launchpad for an overall lifestyle/routine change.
How youse doin'? 👇🏾💬
Hey Locals communiTi! Supporters already know about this, but after about 2 years of trying to make "fetch" happen on here, I'm hanging it up. No new content (free or premium) will be posted on this Locals page, beginning February 1, 2025.
I have many reasons for shutting this page down, not least of all needing to be more focused in my energies and efforts with content creation and community-building. Running both this platform and Patreon requires a great deal of duplicate work.
Uploading and processing for just 1 video takes hours, even on the days where there aren't technical difficulties with the platform and/or my ISP. So, imagine having to do that twice for every post. Then, add in the issues with Locals interface itself with regard to formatting limitations on posts, the fact that I NEVER receive the notifications I am supposed to receive, plus general glitches and frustrations with the platform, it is high time I cut Locals loose.
I appreciate you all for following me on ...
Waaaow, this is the last/one of the last posts I'll be making here on Locals. 🥲

Anyway, family ONLY LIVE today at 5:00p PST to keep my #TwitchTuesday momentum going. It has been a longass week since the last live, chi... 😮💨 Hit the ❤️/👍🏾 if I'll see you in the live chat!
We can also talk some about this Drumpf DEI stuff and the possible boycotts, but I'ma tread lightly on those as much as I can, since I'm working on a YouTube video about this exact topic, and I don't wanna bore y'all with hearing my rant two times over.

First livestream, since the fires fucked my whole shit up! Let's kiki LIVE, 4p PST. This will simulcast to YouTube (unlisted/family only link), as well as to Twitch, since I know some folks prefer Twitch + I'm getting back into my #TwitchTuesday groove.
Let's talk about how y'all spent your MLK, and some other old tea that I wanted to get to before/while I was temporarily displaced last week.
