Day 1 of my journey with @thebookacademy.bsky.social and the #wordwork writing challenge. I suspect that part of what I will gain over the next 30 days of committed writing is a deeper trust of my own inner voice.

The midwives said to them, “The #WNBA players are not like the #MNBA players, for they are vigorous and give birth and then go ball out in a cheap-as-hell league that pays them a fraction of what they are owed.” -The next part of this interview, quoted in Exodus 1:18-19

Black-founded brands like Mielle and Playa Society will have a spotlight at this year's WNBA All-Star Weekend: www.forbes.com/sites/timeka...

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

Out here ruining perfect records. The Lynx are no longer undefeated! You're welcome. #nothingbutstorm

While ICE agents can note in their database if someone they’ve investigated turns out to be a citizen, they are not required to do so. As a result, records are often wrong and left uncorrected even after agents have been told of a mistake. (Published March 2025)

Loving note to self...

I knew she was on one from the way she played in Unrivaled. So good to see her lead this team.

So proud of this man @ctounsel1.bsky.social !

The way that faith leaders are forging ahead with the Target boycott--and making an impact on the company's bottom line--is reminding me a lot of Jesse Jackson's work with Operation Breadbasket. Here's my take on the Black churches prioritizing economic justice now: www.forbes.com/sites/timeka...

Mara Brock Akil's FOREVER (Netflix) proves why the culture would be incomplete without her storytelling. In the final chapter of my book, Branding Black Womanhood, I discuss 3 Black women auteurs who give Black women permission to be flawed in their storytelling. I start with Mara Brock Akil.

Chatting with star stylist Kesha McLeod for my latest piece has been a highlight of the spring. She's one of the Black women responsible for pioneering tunnel fashion, paving the way for athletes to host this year's Met Gala: www.forbes.com/sites/timeka...

That God “could make a way out of no way” in Jesus’ cross was truly absurd to the intellect, yet profoundly real in the souls of black folk. James Cone Died April 28, 2018

In my latest piece for @forbes.com I write about Black entrepreneurs who want to reclaim social media for the culture. They are embracing a "for us, by us" approach that reminds me of 20th century Black press founders. www.forbes.com/sites/timeka...

So excited to have a platform where I can share my insights on Black representation with a focus on #blackjoy. Check out my latest pieces for @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/timeka...

I am a new fan of a women's basketball. But not new to sports entertainment because I grew up in Detroit. #iykyk Since I purchased my first season ticket package for the #SeattleStorm I have been convinced that men's 🏀 and women's 🏀 are two different products.

We knew it was only a matter of time before this... apnews.com/article/trum...

Anyone else watching #BeyondtheGates and feeling closer to the family that introduced you to soaps? For me it was my paternal grandma, Bonnie Jean. We were an ABC family, but made an exception for Bold and the Beautiful. #watchingwhileblack

Watching and hearing about the beautiful sisterhood shared among black #wbb players and coaches has this 5' 1" (1.5" on a good day) fan wishing she had the height and hand-eye coordination to ball. Love this time of year. #marchmadness youtu.be/EUZbvLeOpFE?...

Just when you think grading is over, here come the student appeals... #AcademicSky

Winter quarter of professor-ing taught me/reinforced 3 things. (1) It IS possible for students to critically engage with course material without a final exam or final essay (2) Asking students to submit reflections w/ final projects is so worth it! (3) Less IS more, we are all in need of rest.

Ok. So how/why did the architects of #paradise decide to preserve the class structure post-catastrophe? Why does Sinatra get to live in a mansion with a maid? Why does Dr. Torabi get to live in a house the same size as Xavier's if she lives by herself? #huluparadise

Happy #internationalwomensday !!! Don't let the patriarchy get you down. We outchea!
