In 1976, Alfreda Wallace started writing a book that would be filled with the history of Goldsboro, Florida -- one of the oldest Black founded communities in America.

Wallace titled the book "We Also Ran."

The yellow spiral notebook that Wallace wrote the book in and the parchment paper added.

In the corner of the photo showing the page of pictures you can see how the pages have deteriorated over time.

For Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we’re looking at how federal laws regarding sexual assault ignore the disproportionate effects assault has on Black women. https://t.co/1u6GPDfDNg

I’ve been working on an article that looks at the dehumanization of Black women’s trauma for a little minute. Very relevant with the conversations and comments about Megan Thee Stallion.

Reporting on race WELL requires expertise in race/racism. Because too little understanding abt how race structures our society, you know, history, sociology, economics, passes for authoritative reporting. Imagining thinking structural inequality has nothing to do w credit scores.

[Brea’s Buzz @BreasBuzz]

Either way i miss writing like this and telling these stories. Hopefully i get to share this story with everyone.

[Brea’s Buzz @BreasBuzz]

Pitching an article you care a lot about is incredibly nerve wrecking. Hoping things work out and i can have a stress free December.

Or at least have one less thing to worry about.
