Black vacationers on Martha’s Vineyard often describe visiting the island in August as a kind of family reunion. If your family happens to include Michelle Obama, that is.
“This is a special place for us, because, as you all know, this is where we come to enjoy being us,” Ms. Obama said Saturday afternoon at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, where she joined her older brother, Craig Robinson, for a live recording of their podcast, “IMO,” which she likened to a kitchen table.
The brother-sister duo were speaking with the actress Natasha Rothwell, whom they repeatedly referred to as “cousin,” inside the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center in Oak Bluffs, Mass., where many of the film festival’s events were held.
Together, they discussed mental health, dating, relationships and the importance of telling stories that reflect the Black experience.

Earlier on Saturday, across town, at the Island Inn, the Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson discussed her 2024 memoir, “Lovely One,” with Ms. Wilkes Smith.
Justice Jackson’s memoir charts her family’s journey from enslavement in the South to her grandparents’ move to Florida; her own childhood there; early stints in journalism and theater; her marriage to her college boyfriend, Patrick Jackson; and her law career, which led her to the Supreme Court.
Justice Jackson told the audience —with a chuckle— that she was grateful that she held roles as a law clerk, public defender and judge because, “Where I am now, I’m pretty much stuck. So I’m glad I got it all done.”

Any illegals there?
In fact, have the lefty open borders supporting residents personally house the illegals.
Such a shocker, I know.
THOUSANDS of black people who fought to enslave the other tribe to sell them to the arab slave traders.
Her husband is not only a top surgeon at Georgetown but an heir to a major aristocratic Boston family. So he’s a “Boston Brahmin” and thereby a Harvard legacy.
And his identical twin is married to former senator Paul Ryan’s wife’s sister. And they have two very pretty daughters.
I don’t let political differences mar the upstanding aspects of someone
(Albeit I’m NO fan of Paul Ryan!) But he endorsed Ketanji.
Now why would those two be spending time on that white people’s island?
Odd...hope he knows what a woman is...
