Women of colour face "(1) meritocracy and the problem of cumulative (dis)advantage, (2) the lack of racial awareness in management decisions, and (3) the operations of power and silencing" in Higher Education.

Heartbroken to hear @galdemzine is closing down after many wonderful years platforming writers of colour. I and many others got our first breaks with them. I wish there was something we could do to save these vital organisations.

Thank you gal-dem, your legacy will live on ✨
