This week, we gathered at the Governor’s Mansion for the Protect Our Vote event, where Governor Josh Stein vetoed legislation he described as anti-voter. He stood alongside legislators, city council members, faith and nonprofit leaders, attorneys, organizers, business and community leaders, policy experts, and supporters—all united in protecting the freedom to vote. Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter can make their voice heard. 🗳️✊🏾Here are some clips of the speeches made.

I refuse to stand by while my children inherit fewer voting rights than I have experienced. In addition to extreme gerrymandering, North Carolina Republicans continue to restrict access to the ballot under the guise of “election integrity.”

Republicans passed a monstrous election bill (House Bill 958) that imposes even more unnecessary changes and restrictions on voting in North Carolina.

North Carolina already requires voters to show an approved photo ID, which election officials can examine and challenge. So before lawmakers add even more restrictions, shorten the time people have to vote or create new ways to challenge ballots after they have already been cast, they should be required to show us the actual problem they are trying to solve. Where is the evidence that these changes are necessary?

Election integrity should not be used as an excuse to make voting harder. It should mean protecting our elections while making sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot—and that every lawful vote is counted.

Protecting our elections should never mean making it harder for eligible citizens to vote.

The Republicans could override this veto if they have enough votes. The Democrats believe they can sustain Governor Stein’s veto.

My husband’s best friend, Mosal Morszart, is an amazing artist in Memphis, Tennessee.

He blessed me with this art piece for my office over a year ago, and I finally have the wall space to hang it. He painted me as Lady Liberty—and she is not playing any games. She isn’t standing still as an ideal or symbol of liberty. She is actively working to protect it, advance it, and ensure it for others. This was his interpretation of who I am and what I represent.

I don’t think I have ever felt more honored or received a greater compliment in my life.

Every time I look at her, I feel strong. I feel bold. I feel courageous. She encourages me to continue being the person God has called me to be—someone who is not afraid to shake things up for the better. (See comment below for more thoughts about this art piece.)

Don’t forsake your journey!

In the late ’90s, I worked here as a store manager while pursuing my dream of becoming an attorney. With the encouragement of a mentor from NC State, I stayed focused on the bigger picture.

Looking back, I can see this season wasn’t where I was meant to stay—it was preparing me for where I am today, helping people protect their assets, communities, and legacies.

So here’s my question: What’s your destination? Don’t let your current season convince you that’s where your story ends.

Yesterday, I had an inspiring time at Forward Justice’s Walk Together: A 2026 Movement Building Convening for Voter Protection.

Like I stated during my presentation as North Carolina Black Alliance’s Program Attorney and Co-Leader of the Black Legal Network, the right to vote is the right that protects all other rights.

As attorneys, we are guardians of the rule of law. Election protection is about ensuring that the law works as intended—for everyone.

The greatest asset you manage isn’t your business.

It isn’t your bank account.

It’s you.

💬 How do you invest in your health and peace? Is it walking, reading, praying, exercising, gardening, or simply sitting in silence?
