Universities BUILT by enslaved Africans ON indigenous land ran by white men, with less than 10% of tenured professors of color have the audacity to ask us for a diversity statement 😂🤣

38 yr old Haitian-American Vice Mayor of Coral Springs, FL Nancy Metayer Bowen was tragically murdered.

Bowen was the 1st Black woman elected to her city’s commission focusing on community health and environmental equity into local governance.

She was shot by her husband.

This is not just a tragic loss, but the devastating reality of gendered violence, one that took a Black woman leader, a Haitian daughter of the diaspora, and public servant whose presence was deeply meaningful.

Holding her family, loved ones, and the Haitian community of Broward in my thoughts🕊️ RIP💔 https://t.co/783GId7ULU

The lesser included slave trade across Indian Ocean is worth noting, too! Good article by Paul Tiyambe Zeleza—Toward African Diasporas explores and expands our concept of “diaspora” that is too often relegated to just the transatlantic

[BLACK S.T.Ⓐ.R. @blkstrmutualaid]

The diaspora is considered the sixth region of Africa btw !

Levell looks great. Made that 19.7 look easy. Def gon win a medal. Tebogo’s 19.9 looked good considering he didn’t push thru the bend at all.
