👀 Look out! HYPE Media (a critical digital literacy project) is rolling out the good content...give us a follow to hear some powerful Black Girls speak @PghHype and insta https://t.co/BhTp08VRp0
❗️ATTENTION❗️ This week we’re talking about what it means to be a Black girl. We know that Black girls can mean so many things so we have a question for you all…How would you all define a Black girl? Let us know in the comment,tag a friend so that we can get more definitions.
Do Social Workers realize what a critical role we would play in a reimagined peace keeping force (“abolish the police”)? I am sure some do I am not seeing these discussions
White social work researchers working on racial justice issues....you better be hiring, mentoring, supporting students of color and if you are you must provide space\support when black and brown bodies are being murdered and assaulted...the research can wait #blackscholarsmatter
I voted for @ewarren today b/c she listens to Black women, understands that “Economic justice has not ever been sufficient to ensure racial justice,” admits mistakes, is a tough broad, and b/c we now see how not having a leader w/ a plan costs lives. https://t.co/RHIMCN6TE4

Last term grad students enrolled in my Critical Literacies seminar worked with me to develop a community literacy project that challenge Homewood youth connected to @hcvpgh ‘s Scholars Project to reimagine the lens through which we understand the Homewood neighborhood’s narrative
