@DeborahNArcher @SecretaryPete Incredible and our society is so lucky to have your brilliance!

My 17 yr. old self would never believe this! The Smith College Medal after arriving at @smithcollege clueless, a first generation American citizen, and the first person in my family to go to college. I hope my family and ancestors are smiling today.

@DeborahNArcher @LiverightPub @wwnorton So thrilled for you and can’t wait for this critical scholarship!

[Maja D. Hazell @MajaHazell]

@DeborahNArcher @nyuniversity @nytimes Fantastic and no surprise! Brava!!!

[Maja D. Hazell @MajaHazell]

@DeborahNArcher You’re busy

@DeborahNArcher The research is clear that teams that are (1) diverse and (2) inclusively managed outperform even teams with higher cumulative IQ / “ability.” Query whether non-profit boards overrepresent those with means and access to networks with capital, deprioritizing BIPOC members.

I could not be more proud of my sister! Brava @DeborahNArcher!

Congratulations to Deborah Archer, newly elected president of the ACLU national board!

This is historic. On Day 1, Pres. Biden has issued an Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity & Support for Underserved Communities Through the Fed Govt, calling for a "systemic approach" to embed fairness & naming communities of color. The work begins. https://t.co/tZqY6djpJ6

Several key takeaways from this terrific presentation by #drevvycarter: 1) Being an ally is a verb, not a noun; 2) To be an ally, means leaning into discomfort; and 3) Others have to say you're an ally #TogetherWeMakeaMark @WhiteCase https://t.co/HHscz3VxS8

@CharlesMBlow It’s the brilliance of @CharlesMBlow for me. Always.

[Natasha S. Alford @NatashaSAlford]

When Black Americans talk about generational trauma and terror, this is what we mean. That energy you see at the Capitol is the same energy that burned down Black towns, lynched Black citizens, and ensured slavery, Jim Crow and segregation was encoded into American life.

My latest article reflecting on 2020's seismic shift in awareness of anti-Black racism and equity challenges in the US, and offer advice to aspiring Black lawyers ahead of the delayed recruiting season. #diversity #yourcareer #blacklivesmatter https://t.co/oMGlNQpT73

@PaulaEdgar Thank you my friend!

[Maja D. Hazell @MajaHazell]

Honored to be featured in this important new @BLaw podcast on Black lawyers, equity and leadership imperatives!

[Lisa Helem @lisahelem]

Law firms are engaged in a renewed dialogue on race. Will the hopes African American lawyers hold for greater equity be realized? And what can we learn from the triumphs of pathbreaking law firm leaders? We focus on these questions & others in a new @BLaw podcast. Thread: 1/4

[Maja D. Hazell @MajaHazell]

A beautiful, representative video of my country and an inspiring leadership vision.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

[Maja D. Hazell @MajaHazell]

A phenomenal day!

Kamala Harris has made history.

She brings a legion of firsts to the vice presidency: She will be the first woman, the first Black person, the first Indian American and the first Asian American to hold the office.
