In this episode, Elonda gives us a quick rundown on the crazy events that went down on January 6th, and the reflections and lessons learned from this ongoing ordeal. Tune in to her thoughts on the double standards on people of color, how COVID-19 played a part in the elections, and why we need to hold the right people accountable! Let this be a lesson and reminder from Momma that you have the ability to make change; your vote has power - your vote counts. 

 

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

What went down on January 6.  How white people are given the benefit of the doubt. Holding people accountable.  We need to pause and pay attention.  The power in words. 

 

QUOTABLES:

“All of this stemmed from voting. Because we voted - we went out and exercised our right in a massive amount. So much so that they have no choice but to give it to us because we earned it. So never can we ever say a vote does not count. One vote matters.”

“We are finally realizing that the people that are put in this position of power do not deserve to be there and don't have our best interests at heart. And the way to get them out is to show up and vote.”
