#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. ✨ #TIMECloser #WinWithBlackWomen Special thanks to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the presenting partner of TIME’s ‘The Closers.’ _____ Photo credits: Knya Uwaeme Make-up: Lola Okanlawon lolasbeautymark Hair: Maureen Rumble stylesbymaureenr Styling: Jamine Pittman
