Y’all, I was talking about endorsements! www.kut.org/politics/202...

“In reality, the only accountability mechanism is that we agree to turn out and that we agree to chime in, right? And so if we choose, when we're talking about primaries, 15, 12% turnout, we are not keeping our end of the bargain.”

I loved teaching Intro to AFAM this semester. I asked these 2Qs and the answers were great! I got a little emotional on their answers to Q1: 1. What is one thing you learned from this course that will stick with you? 2. Who is your top Artist on Spotify/Apple Music in 2023?

"Andrea Benjamin, a professor at the University of Oklahoma who studies race, politics, local elections and voting behavior, said it’s possible that with a re-do of the primary looming, voters in Bridgeport are experiencing fatigue." ctmirror.org/2023/11/10/b...

“It’s the intersection of those stereotypes,” says Andrea Benjamin, an expert on urban politics at the University of Oklahoma. “Because it’s a Black woman, you think they’re aggressive or angry all the time. They can’t win.” www.governing.com/politics/how...

It’s times

I’m super humbled by this appointment. Let’s get to work! kfor.com/news/local/o...

This is an urban politics book! You can’t change my mind. Where Harlem Shuffle was hard to get into, this one grabbed my attention right away. I loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PS: Pepper is my favorite!

I need a podcast about this! www.fox32chicago.com/news/dolton-...

Whenever I hear Claire McCaskill, I think about the time I was on BBC News and the other guest blurted out: Claire McCaskill is a radical leftist! 😳😂

Listen, my people will always put that Dr. on my name. It’s makes me laugh, but I appreciate it so much! 😂😂😂

Why does Concur make me feel so dumb? I need help with every report. Even when I think I’m doing it right, it’s wrong. Shout out to Shared Business Services. I promise I’m not an idiot.
