✨✨12 years ago today, my sister, my best frien ✨✨12 years ago today, my sister, my best friend, myself  and a whole bunch of strangers became friends. This crew here was  gathered at 6 AM at the Lincoln Memorial for the we are one concert, the day before President Obama‘s first inauguration. it was bitter cold outside. Close to -5. But we were committed to celebrating the most historic inauguration to date! 🙌🏾✨. After a very long, cold day of laughter, hugs, cheering, singing along, dancing…Friendships forged because of the sacrifice we made to be up at three in the morning and make our way downtown. Most of us are still in contact and… Wow, how our lives have evolved into beautiful landscapes. And equally wow… How things have changed! To think that we can’t attend one of the most historical inaugurations is mind blowing and just so sad sad. We pray for a better and more hopeful and optimistic days ahead.✨

with true leader ship, we truly can be one! 🙏🏽🙌🏾💃🏽

Thank God that joker is gone! Byeeeeee!👋🏽✌🏽

✨✨M L K ✨✨ As we celebrate the life and l ✨✨M L K ✨✨

As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and national Day of service, I hope we can all truly pause and wonder and refine our purpose. For me, service is innate. It’s in my DNA. It’s what my parents, specifically my mother, taught my siblings and me when we were little kids. And so I found this quote, among many others, to be poignant and also reflective. A conversation between a priest and a Levite. It’s not so much what would happen to me if I don’t help my brother or sister in need, it’s what would happen to them if I don’t stop to help.🙏🏽

✨Deep. I try to live my life in that way. My mantra is to live in love. It’s the only way we can open our hearts up to others, to be of service and to heal the world. 💛

✨Check out this and 16 other meaningful quotes by the King himself, on House of Bren. Copy this link or grab it from my bio. https://brenherrera.com/culture-racepolitics-17-martin-luther-king-inspirational-service-quotes/

✨DMV C O A T D R I V E✨ in partnership with t ✨DMV C O A T D R I V E✨

in partnership with the Biden Harris presidential inaugural committee, I am organizing a very swift coat, winter wear and blanket drive for next Monday— MLK National Day of Service.

When we did our Christmas Day service, many of the people whom we served asked for coats, blankets, hats and gloves. Though we gave out some clothing and accessories, we didn’t have enough for all 600 people. We are in dire need of all these things in order to help those without shelter. Christmas day was bitter cold and we are only now seeing the beginnings of a cold winter. If you have any of those items listed above and more, that are in wearable condition and are interested in donating, please see details! We will be same church where we do our cooking — Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington, VA. All sizes welcome. Our target goal is at least 100 people.

I’m grateful. 💛
