#repost jotakaeaddy Honored. Humbled. Grateful.
I’m beyond honored to be selected as a TIME 2025 Closer, recognized for my work with
#WinWithBlackWomen and my commitment to uplifting Black women in every space I enter. This recognition is not just mine—it belongs to the incredible Black women who continue to lead, inspire, and break barriers every day.
It also belongs to my mom, who I lost a few months ago but feel with me every step of the way. Her strength, love, and unwavering belief in me guide everything I do.
Standing alongside this year’s honorees is a true privilege, and I’m excited to keep pushing forward, making room, and ensuring our voices are heard.
We win together. Always. ✨
