Anyone who knows me/has met me KNOWS without even looking at my resume, that any room I walk in, anything I touch, is automatically made excellent.

AI discrimination doesn’t just affect individual workers—it amplifies racial wealth gaps. We joined @ProfessorPappoe and @HanaScientist to discuss @civilrightsorg’s new report, "AI in the Racial Wealth Gap."

Is this thing on? I wrote a response to @davideoks’ piece in which he argues that funerals are keeping Africans poor. Enjoy: https://t.co/ypO5gnmvte

This place has become so weird. So let’s go somewhere even more weird: TikTok 😂 https://t.co/FhzyhfPJTQ

This piece is a precursor to my forthcoming law review article on reinterpretation of the FHA’s current language through an intersectional framework to permit source-of-income discrimination claims.

In the piece, I discuss why good outcomes aren’t enough and how the advocacy and evidence lawyers bring to the courtroom ultimately shape civil-rights doctrine. PDF: https://t.co/mK7SmKKmrJ

I just need…a better PR book.

What is wrong with Donald Trump, really?

For the first time in my 24 years in America, I saw a border patrol police car. In fact, I saw three border patrol cars tonight on my commute home from DC. And my heart immediately began to beat out of my chest. I can only imagine what my undocumented brothers and sisters feel.

Listen to your momma.

Who teaches a really fun, interesting Professional Responsibility course? I need book recommendations.

Why do ‘elite’ law reviews keep moving the fall submission deadline up? As if we aren’t already dealing with enough barriers. My goodness. July is not fall. August wasn’t, but July sure isn’t.

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

These are such messy, unpredictable, and exhausting times.

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

We are cooked! 🤦🏾‍♀️

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments.

The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

Okay I see what they are saying about the em dash being an indicator of AI use. ChatGPT leans wayyyy too heavily on the use of the em dash. But why??

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

*laughs in @UDCLaw* where day students students are required to take 14 credits of clinic and work at least 300 hours.

Should law schools have more hands-on learning requirements? https://t.co/kIIVH9IwVH #legaleducation

Folks: don’t lose the plot. Yes, everything Trump is doing is problematic but please don’t lose the plot in the midst of the nonsense. Harvard defying Trump speaks to its privilege to do so. Many (most) universities don’t have that luxury. And THAT is the problem.

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

TL;DR: Stop waiting for corporations to do the right thing. They won’t. If this is going to be stopped, it’ll because us lawyers demanded it—not because corporate clients walked away.

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

In the last few weeks, I’ve seen maybe 100 posts related to law firms capitulating to the Trump Administration. I’ve even liked and reposted a few. Most of them share the same underlying hope: that the clients of these law firms will be outraged enough to take a stand by taking +

[Yvette N. A. Pappoe @ProfessorPappoe]

And perhaps this is new to some of y’all, but what we are witnessing is not new. It is a public exposure of what power and money have always looked like behind closed doors: large corporations quietly aligning with power in a system that requires capitalism to function.
