@drvenus.bsky.social and I started a new podcast series: Beyond the Soundbite: Black Feminist Research & Wellness. Check out the first episode www.youtube.com/live/LtSYQcZ...

Parents worried about their kids’ social media use are nostalgic for a version of their own childhood. They’d be better served cultivating digital literacy skills.

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

NEW EPISODE! Link in bio. Conversation with Barbara Smith and @bill-ayers.bsky.social recorded on Dec 5, 2024 at the @mediasanctuary.bsky.social in Troy, NY. Visit our webpage to listen to the episode or watch a video of the event!

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

It’s strange watching critics of this administration turn to the judicial system. Is anyone familiar with the tenets of Critical Race Theory?

Angertainment is a great way to describe the emotional experience most social media platforms are optimizing for.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
