    Panthers were ALWAYS about healthy eating and feeding the community good food. They emphasized this in the 60's & 70's before it was popular.

    “If we don’t start practicing collective self care now, there’s no way to imagine, much less reach a time of freedom.”

    We are taught to devalue ourselves to feed a greater system. To me, opting out of those beliefs to feed ourselves first and foremost is as revolutionary as it gets.

    For me radical self-care is about valuing yourself, not feeding a system (any type of system) feeding off of you.

    In 1972 I was lined up on the summer camp stadium outside of Moscow USSR with other kids my age. We were forced to shout "Freedom to Angela Davis!". In Russian language of course. I screamed from the top of my lungs. They promised me a jeans jacked for this. American jeans jacket. I am still waiting. Svobodu Angele. Davis!!!! Where is my jacket???

    Her voice, the way she talks, has been the same her entire life. I live her message, I love her message, but her voice is a cherry on top.

    I'm 70 yrs. old and I've liked this woman from the first I heard of her in the '60s. A ton of integrity.

    I heard her speak when I was a freshman in college in early 70’s. She moved & inspired me then. She’s had her own evolutionary path, as we all have. I still find her inspiring & moving! ❤️🌈🌎❤️

    I love this platform! I'm looking forward to seeing what lies ahead. Angela Davis has ALWAYS been close to my heart for her struggle, her fight, and her blackness! I met her at a wedding in Ohio years ago, and I must admit it was an honor! Power to the People!

    I learned about Ms. Davis from my grandmother in Russia and I grew so much respect because my grandmother respected her. I wish she could see Ms. Davis now.
