We're ending this *doozy* of a week with a much-needed dose of wisdom, sanity, and perspective. THE @proftriciarose.bsky.social joins us to talk about systemic racism, the meta-narratives that shape so much of American life, AND what we can do about them. Tune in. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

I’m so honored to have opened the International Summer Festival Hamburg at Kampnagel in Germany! Can’t wait to see the artists at work, especially to capture the alchemy of akua naru, Tyshawn Sorey, and Ensemble Resonanz, that blends blues, opera, and jazz with Black women’s stories. 1/2

I’ve spent a decade researching systemic racism, and I am struck with awe by the power of Black cultural resilience. This is why #WayOuttaNoWay includes Spirit Stays Free: a collection of conversations with Black artists and activists. I hope they inspire you as they do me! #BlackSky #AcademicSky

Baltimore is seeing a historic drop in violent crime rates. How? Essentially, they’re now taking a “comprehensive” (i.e. systems) approach. Investing in young people helps everyone! Watch the video for my takeaways. #BlackSky #AcademicSky

The brilliant artist, @akuanaru, graced my latest project, #WayOuttaNoWay, with powerful insights about the resilience of Black creativity and how her own work draws on this legacy. 1/2

Visitors to #WayOuttaNoWay have been gravitating to Grandma Joan Murphy. To be the heart and soul of a Black family is a blessing that comes with a heavy price. It means weathering the harsh impacts of systemic racism and it means keeping the rich traditions of Black resilience alive.

Byronn Bain talks to @proftriciarose.bsky.social about our need for a vision of the future. What’s your vision? Tell us in the comments. Watch more videos of Black artists and activists who inspire us with that freedom spirit on the #SpiritStaysFree pg of #WayOuttaNoWay #SystemicRacism #Resilience

For generations, Juneteenth has been an occasion to celebrate African American freedom and a poignant reminder that it continues to be fought for, claimed and defended. As part of this ongoing pursuit of justice, I’m proud to share my latest project, #WayOuttaNoWay

My book “Metaracism” offers a way for us to see & understand the complexity, interconnections, & compounding effects produced by systemic racism. Once we know how it works, we can better see and target its weaknesses. #SystemicRacism #BlackSky #booksky #AcademicSky #authors #SocialJustice

During #BlackHistoryMonth celebrations, let’s collectively confront and expose how systemic racism works now. Today’s work paves the road for future victories. #BHM #SystemicRacism #BlackSky #booksky #AcademicSky #authors #SocialJustice

The NFL is removing “End Racism” but keeping “Choose Love”? These things are completely interconnected. To choose love, you have to end racism. #NFL #SuperBowl #EndRacism #ChooseLove #BlackSky #SystemicRacism #SocialJustice #RacialJustice #BlackLivesMatter #RacismInAmerica #AcademicSky #authors

“Metaracism” is the meta effect of systemic racism. It is the dynamic & compounding patterns of racial disadvantage & discrimination produced by the interconnections among policies & practices across society over time. #SystemicRacism #BlackSky #booksky #AcademicSky #authors #SocialJustice
