@throwblackcollege: Symone Sanders Townsend said everything that needed to be said at Spelman College’s graduation. It is not our job to shrink ourselves in a world that wasn’t built for us. We have to keep taking up space until the world changes. Congratulations to the new graduates! If you didn’t feel ready for this next chapter, go back and watch Symone’s full speech for inspiration. #symonesanders #spelman #spelmancollege #hbcu #hbcupride

❣️❣️❣️. They pass you over because they know you are the best in the room. It's not that they didn't see it, they just don't want to recognize your brilliance because they feel threatened by you. Congratulations to the Graduates ❣️
