Very proud to share my first story in the Saturday Evening Post about 19th-century orgs formed to fight an unjust U.S. government. Have you heard of vigilance committees? I hadn’t until I learned of them in a Breckenridge history museum https://t.co/pHloZJifid

@KeruboSk I have for the last 13 years. Not only does it save countless hours, it’s also liberating from everything from self-critique to patriarchy.

For decades, GILEE has flown Atlanta cops to occupied Palestine to drill with the IOF. Now, Cop City, a rehearsal ground for urban warfare, has been erected on stolen Muscogee land. These parallels are not metaphors. They are supply chains.

I continue to be impressed with Gen Z, particularly students at schools in the AUC. For Sierra Magazine, I wrote about a BHM hike where students reclaimed Black joy in the outdoors in a space designed for exclusion. https://t.co/tsCe4cpzDn

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap clothes.

Took my braids out on the airplane 🤭

Lots of folks have interviewed me about #Juneteenth over the years. This piece by @SheekaJS is one of my favorites. https://t.co/2Uj9kI67WB

Happy Juneteenth!

@PharmacySenegal Thank you @PharmacySenegal! It was a pleasure. I’m thinking about how much it’s changed since this article published.

Keep me in mind as you think about editorial FIFA World Cup coverage for Atlanta. I’ve already hit the ground running with the city’s first travel guide article for the event: https://t.co/5ZsssM530d
