Eboni does really fantastic work in this space. Her website and programs are deeply informative. This is definitely a must read. Thank you for sharing!

This isn’t fair tickets…🤨

Wow this is cool! Can’t read it lol but curious about it

I don’t think people realize how big of a chunk that is!

I find that I appreciate the downtime. When a break happens, it feels weird but I look at it as a chance to recalibrate. There’s so much noise out there too! Glad you’re back to receiving those downloads. 🙏🏾

Any recommendations for books 📚 that speak to balancing intuition and logic? Or 📚 by indigenous or diaspora authors that have been practicing this for an eternity?

🤦🏾‍♀️ I trust nothing digital these days. Gotta be careful out there!

This is such a dope account! Intuition is Queen. 🙏🏾

Love this book! Highly recommend!

Like many, feeling shock and disgust as I pay taxes for a government that won’t even observe the constitution. And that seems to be strip mining our data to sell to Russia.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Feeling like a big dumbass working on my taxes right now. Who am I sending this money to

The rapidity with which major media outlets are just rolling over for this administration and making a grab for authoritarian approval and cash is absolutely craven and disgusting. Treating journalism as an extractive, for-profit enterprise is an insult to the profession, and to society.

Welp.

Guess this answers our question. 😑

I’m wrestling with this too. Especially since it takes 9 billion hours for the application, I’m just not sure. I’m an expert shot taker but we have to be strategic now.

Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation. The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.
