We have ALWAYS been a part of this faith, association & movement. Whether you know our history or not, it’s just the truth. I’m excited to bring my years of experience to my work as a member of the @UUA Board & honored to transition from leadership to advisor to @BlackLivesUU

I’ve often seen the work of @BlackLivesUU position as β€œnot really UU” or β€œagainst the UUA”. It’s been a curiously persistent and 100% false accusation. BLUU has worked in concert with & in partnership with @UUA - the 1st IRL mtg of BLUU leadership was sponsored by & AT UUA HQ.

Last week @Mykal4Lyfe & I accepted the fulfillment of the $5.3 million Promise made by our faith to @BlackLivesUU - this was a moment I won’t forget as a UU, as a Black UU, as a Black UU Organizer. Having my full self on THAT stage was significant FOR ME.

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind since that GA. Building the proverbial plane while also flying it. Last week I fulfilled my last duty as Board Chair of @BlackLivesUU back on the same #UUAGA stage to express our gratitude & resolve at the fulfillment of that idea 3 years ago.

Thread. Three years ago I made my debut on the @UUA #UUAGA main stage to talk about the work of @BlackLivesUU with my sister @LenaInMN - we spoke about what we had done, what we still needed to do & the importance of center Black UUs in our faith. A watershed moment.pic.twitter.com/17Y018yeJF

Up in the air heading home for a day & a half. Leg 2 of #LeslieMacMileage is over. At our @BlackLivesUU Board retreat we opened our time together by building an altar & writing some things we wanted to leave behind. We closed our time by burning them. pic.twitter.com/dS023zSHPU

#LeslieMacMileage marches on my final @BlackLivesUU Board Retreat where I stepped down. Leg 2 ends tomorrow & I get 1 day home. I love these people SO FUCKING MUCH! They are going to do amazing things without me as a leader. I’m excited to transition to a supporter. pic.twitter.com/Eft2ODxJNe

I am stepping down from the @BlackLivesUU board in a few months & my plan is become a member of the @UUA Board of Trustees (I am officially nominated but won’t be 100% until after voting occurs in June) - my willingness to serve the association at this time is specific.

@BlackLivesUU strives to center our spaces in what Black people of faith need & yearn for. A faith space where you can bring your whole self. Where no parts of you need to be quieted. Where the white gaze isn’t the focus. For that we are consistently positioned as β€œproblematic”

While I will be leaving the @BlackLivesUU Organizing Collective in order to serve on the UUA Board, my work with #BLUU has been an invaluable education in the needs of Black UUs, which I will take with me into this next area of service.

Lesson 7: This is a @BlackLivesUU gem: CONSENSUS IS NOT COMMUNITY! We do not have to agree on tactics or approach to create change. We DO have to have shared principles & moral clarity. More on the BLUU working agreements: http://www.blacklivesuu.com/working-agreements/Β /

I want to thank my comrades @BlackLivesUU (@TakiyahNAmin @Mykal4Lyfe @LenaInMN & Samuel) - on my darkest days it was you holding my faith in humanity together & loving on me in ways that allowed me to keep going.
