Thank you again to @michellelegro for the very thoughtful edits!

[Assad @Doctor_Whodunit]

For Momentum at @Medium, I wrote about the conflicting feelings Black people can experience in museums.

Also APESHIT feels kind of hollow to me now.

"“APESHIT” feels less like Black people reclaimed the Louvre and more like wealthy White people lent their property to wealthy Black people who have exceptional proximity to that which Whiteness covets."

.@Doctor_Whodunit works in the fast food industry.

He knows why people don't want essential workers to earn $15 an hour.

"The essential part of our work was only real to customers when their servants disappeared."

@JadaGomez Thank you so much for believing in this story!

[Jada Gomez @JadaGomez]

I love that @Doctor_Whodunit speaks his truth, and doesn't tie it up with a solution. Truth it, we're enduring way more than what's normal. https://t.co/uPsxpKh4gL

[Assad @Doctor_Whodunit]

Thank you @JadaGomez and the @levelmag team for believing in this story!

[Assad @Doctor_Whodunit]

For @levelmag, I wrote about what it's like to lose my ability to write about race during this global movement for Black people.
