Our prayers are with Danny Glover and his family following his Alzheimer's diagnosis. For decades, Danny has used his voice not only to entertain, but to fight for justice, equality, and human dignity. His courage in sharing this diagnosis reminds us that Alzheimer's touches millions of families and that those living with it deserve compassion and support.

BREAKING: New polling shows Dr. Annie Andrews only 3 points behind Lindsey Graham in South Carolina's Senate race. This would be an enormous flip for Democrats.
I shared with a group of Black educators the impact a few educators had on my life.
I was considered a bad kid. I was expelled 4 times by the time I made it to 8th grade. I was a kid finding his way. In 3rd grade I had a teacher named Mrs. Hillard, she was a beautiful soul. She took the time to ask me questions and listen to me. That turned into weekends at her house. My life is richer because Mrs. Hillard and others took the time to care.
My life has been filled with twist and turns, but it’s clear I was always being pushed forward. I don’t know the conversations the adults had about me back then, but I know their actions showed they loved me and it made a difference.
Love is an action word.
Share if you care 🦾

“Can you believe the nerve of this mofo?”
Meet the first Black woman, Dr. Nancy Abu-Bonsrah, to graduate from the Neurosurgery program at Johns Hopkins after twelve years at the institution.
She now practices at UPMC Neurological Institute in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Her steady path supports stronger care in places that have long needed more specialists.
Breaking barriers in one of the toughest fields👏🏾
A young woman named MacKenzie Tuttle graduated from Princeton in 1992 with a degree in English. One of her professors was Toni Morrison, who later described her as one of the finest creative writing students she had ever taught.
After graduation, MacKenzie took a job at the New York investment firm D. E. Shaw. There she met a colleague named Jeff Bezos, who had an ambitious idea: selling books on the internet.
She didn’t laugh at the idea.
They married in 1993, and the following year drove across the country to the Seattle area to build what would become Amazon.
In the beginning, there was no global empire.
There was a garage.
MacKenzie handled accounting, wrote business materials, answered customer emails and phone calls, and packed orders alongside Jeff. Like many startups, everyone did whatever needed to be done.
As Amazon grew, MacKenzie stepped away from day-to-day operations to raise their four children while continuing to pursue her own passion for writing.
Her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, won the American Book Award. She later published a second novel and quietly built a respected literary career.
Meanwhile, the story of Amazon became one of the most famous business stories ever told.
Jeff Bezos became one of the world’s most recognizable entrepreneurs.
MacKenzie’s role was rarely part of the public narrative.
She never seemed interested in changing that.
What many people don’t know is that she also knew financial hardship.
Her family filed for bankruptcy while she was still a student, and she has spoken about the kindness of people who helped her through difficult times—acts of generosity she never forgot.
In 2019, after her divorce, MacKenzie Scott received approximately 4% of Amazon’s shares.
Almost immediately, she made a decision that surprised the world.
She signed the Giving Pledge, promising to donate the majority of her wealth during her lifetime.
Then she did something even more unusual.
Instead of building a massive public foundation or attaching her name to buildings, she began giving away billions of dollars through large, unrestricted grants.
Universities.
Food banks.
Housing organizations.
Rural communities.
Women’s health initiatives.
Tribal colleges.
Climate organizations.
Small nonprofits that had never imagined receiving gifts of that size.
Many recipients reportedly thought the phone calls were scams.
They weren’t.
Since 2019, MacKenzie Scott has donated tens of billions of dollars to thousands of organizations, making her one of the most significant philanthropists of the modern era.
Despite giving away enormous sums, her fortune has remained substantial because of Amazon’s continued growth.
The woman who once packed Amazon’s first orders is now helping fund opportunities for millions of people she will probably never meet.
She never asked for buildings in her name.
She never demanded headlines.
Sometimes the greatest legacy isn’t the company you help build.
It’s what you choose to do with the success that follows.
