Um... so today I was on @cbsmornings.bsky.social. 🤯

I talked to Jericka Duncan about why Black women matter to our economy. CBS called me a "Harvard Economist" (bruh). And Gayle King read my book, #TheDoubleTax. I'm in disbelief.

Here's a clip from our segment. #blacksky #news #jobs

Black women face prolonged unemployment While the U.S.' overall unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in the most recent jobs report, it rose to 7.3% among Black women. Jericka Duncan spoke with two women who have faced prolonged unemployment to f...

THE SEGMENT ABOUT BLACK WOMEN'S UNEMPLOYMENT IS UP ON CBSNEWS.COM!!! Thank you @cbsmornings.bsky.social and Jericka Duncan for bringing me on! #blacksky

lol this is why allyship be giving me the heebie jeebies because folks be like "I want to help" but then you find out that "help" is conditional.

lol someone whose analysis has been widely cited insinuated that their analysis is the main reason why this story is getting coverage.

I mean sure... but I found the redirect odd. To reframe a story centering Black people back to your non-Black self is weird. #blacksky

lol sure your analysis or commentary may help us understand what's going on, but sharing the mic with Black women directly impacted and Black women experts should be a given.

lol non-Black women trying to center themselves in the conversation about Black women losing their jobs is interesting (derogatory).

ICE detains 5-year old Minnesota boy; lawyer says agents used him as ‘bait’ The Columbia Heights school district says federal agents have detained four children in their district. School officials and a lawyer for the family say agents used 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramo as “bai...

The Columbia Heights school district says ICE detained four of its students, including a 5-year-old boy, as "bait" to draw out family members.

If you live in Hakeem Jeffries district can you please call him and ask how many more Minnesotans need to die before he takes meaningful action to abolish ICE?

"Now isn't the time to bring up history." Really, because the people you claim to oppose are definitely making time to erase it.

The funniest thing about today is the number of urban planning guys insisting history doesn't matter. Why are so few places genuinely walkable & what does that have to do with race riots and red lining?

You could maybe try looking at sentiment scores here where you characterize the tone of each sentence and come up with what share of the words are "positive" verus "negative"

The largest labor strike in history is happening today in Minnesota. Yes they are suppressing the information but if enough us talk about it off and online they can’t hide it.

lol I need people to actually stop caring about what Black women do to their hair. It's frankly.... none of your business.

What goes around comes around and African leaders never learn.
