Last updated on: June 29, 2016 at 10:09 pm By Osheta Moore

This morning I went a workshop on Islam. Like most of you, I’ve been watching the news and completely heartbroken about what our Muslim brothers and sisters are going through.

Is there something I can do in light of the brutality?... Read more

Sistas Squad Up: The Four Friends I Needed When My Son Was Called the N-Word

Last updated on: May 10, 2016 at 8:09 pm By Osheta Moore

We were rushing to the car on a rainy Friday afternoon when my son pulled me under a concrete awning and said, “Mom, something happened at school today and I don’t want to say it in front of the rest of the family.” He told me about a basketball game and a group of boys ribbing on each other—taking it a bit to far, and then he told me about a coach who chastised them. “He called me the n-word...
