On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that school segregation was unconstitutional, stating that segregation of public schools violated the 14th Amendment.

Though the ruling was still unconstitutional, its implementation would prove slow and be challenged at the state level.

To the moms, aunties, grandmas, bonus moms, godmothers, and the women who stepped up when they didn’t have to ❤️

Thank you for the love, the life lessons, the “did you eat yet?” texts, the sacrifices nobody saw, and the strength that somehow carried everybody through.

Today is for the women who make a way out of no way every single time. Happy Mother’s Day to the ones holding it all together with grace, humor, prayer, and a little side-eye too 😭💐

Tune in at 2pm as I sign legislation supporting Georgia students, families, and educators. These bills will strengthen literacy and the quality of education in our state, because every student deserves opportunity, no matter their zip code.
