I haven't advertised this, because it's not for the community. It's for THEE Kentucky State University. My heart broke when I hugged students at the vigil held after one of OUR own was unalived right in front of their young eyes. They will never be the same.

I wanted them to know that we are ONE here in Frankfort. They are OUR students. And this HBCU is loved.

I thank WesBanco for IMMEDIATELY cutting me a check, and our community for jumping in with love and support.

I knew Katima McMillan and Roni Grind would ALWAYS do whatever it took to make our students feel loved, and they immediately stepped in.

KSU we stand with you here in Frankfort. Let us serve you...please 🙏🏾

In order to support our friends with Capital Indivisible, FORR will not be hosting Let's Talk About It tonight. Instead, please go to the meet and greet that will be happening at Paul Sawyier Public Library from 5:30-7pm in the River Room.

Thank you, and see y'all next month for the start of a great year of bridge-gapping conversations about race and race related issues in Frankfort and Franklin County ✌🏾
