I don't usually write about fashion, but Sabyasachi's work is so beautiful it makes my eyes ache. Here's my profile for @NYTmag of India's premiere designer as he expands westward https://t.co/qurBqZyokc

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Being “colorblind” is not the solution to racism. See people fully. Love people deeply.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.

Thank you to my wonderful panelists and amazing chair @begumlip #fashinclusivity19 I’m so proud the carefully curated images of #BlackWomen were recognized.

[Fashioning Inclusivity Symposium @fashinclusivity]

In her research, Hamilton-Brown looked at the myth that Black people don’t knit. Does this stem from the white gaze? Poor representation of Black knitters in history books? Inclusivity requires difficult conversations. #FashioningInclusivity2019
