Today, I had the distinct honor of attending the graduation ceremony for the Winston-Salem Police Department’s Class 82 Recruits.

It takes extraordinary courage to put on a uniform and answer the call to protect others. Your commitment to serving every member of our community deserves our gratitude and respect. May you always lead with integrity, serve with humility, and remember that kindness and compassion are among the greatest strengths an officer can possess.

Congratulations, Class 82! Thank you for choosing a life of service. Your community stands with you.

Tonight, I had the opportunity to partake is some of the best lemonade I have ever tasted. I was on my way to class at Sawtooth Center and Two Sisters And A Lemon were selling lemonade. Don’t judge, I had to get the “OG” Lemonade AND a Strawberry Lemonade.

These young ladies were hustling and getting the job done! Please run, don’t walk to get some lemonade from these fantastic, young entrepreneurs! Thank you for making my evening.

Thank you so much for the shout out and also the years of a great friendship.

One of the great benefits of my being the DA is having Kevin Edwards work along side me for so many years. Sheriff Bobby F. Kimbrough, Jr. recently did a radio show where a segment focused on the importance of trust. He asked guests to name three people you trust.

I recently had a conversation and said if there was an emergency and I needed someone to step in for me and my family, this man is the one I would trust with great certainty. I appreciate Kevin beyond words.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history.

Juneteenth is more than a historical milestone—it is a reminder that freedom, equality, and justice require our continued commitment and attention. By learning from our past, we can build a stronger and more inclusive future for everyone.

As we celebrate today, let us reflect, educate, and come together in the spirit of unity and understanding. It takes each of us to make a difference for all of us.

Yesterday’s Pride Parade was a beautiful reminder of why visibility, acceptance, and community matter.

Throughout this political journey, I have had the privilege of meeting so many incredible people from all walks of life. Those experiences have only strengthened my pride in being part of this community and my belief that it truly takes each of us to make a difference for all of us.

Many years ago, I was told by an employer’s staff that I would not be receiving an interview because of my sexual orientation. That moment left a mark that I carried for a long time. While I would like to believe that those experiences are behind us, the truth is that many of us still carry deep scars from the past.

Yesterday, however, I saw something much stronger than those scars. I saw love.

The streets were filled with joy, support, celebration, and thousands of people standing together. Yes, there were about 20 protesters trying to shame us for who we are. But when over 60,000 people show up to celebrate love, acceptance, and authenticity, their hate simply cannot compete. Love will always be louder.

I hope each year gets a little easier. I hope future generations never have to experience some of the hurt that many of us have endured. But progress happens because people choose kindness, understanding, and respect.

It really isn’t hard. Be kind.

Thank you to everyone who cheered, waved, hugged, smiled, and reminded us that we belong exactly as we are. Thank you for the love and support. And thank you to the protesters for reminding me exactly how I never want to treat another human being.

I am no longer living my life to make others comfortable. I am living my life authentically, surrounded by people who support and celebrate one another.

I didn’t take many pictures yesterday, so I’ll be borrowing a few from friends and loved ones to share. I wanted to stay in the moment as much as i could.

With gratitude, pride, and lots of love—thank you.

I was honored to attend the MLK Jr. celebration at Emmanuel Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, followed by The Chronicle’s MLK, Jr. Breakfast today. Both gatherings were powerful reminders of Dr. King’s legacy and the responsibility that comes with serving our community.

We were reminded that when taking public office, it is imperative that we never forget where we came from, the struggles that paved the way, and the people that helped us along the way that we are called to serve. Moments like these ground us, inspire us, and challenge us to lead with humility, purpose, and commitment to our community.
