CitPro's digital audience recently had a chance to learn about Elizabeth George's work as part of her (successful) midterm exam. Today, we asked our brilliant colleague about her inspiration, interests, and more. Read the interview here: https://t.co/5Efw9vVD2L @Thebethgeorge

I'm attending a marriage today. You might ask why it deserve a tweet. Well groom is dead actually. And bride is dead too. Like about 30 years ago.

And their marriage is today. For those who are not accustomed to traditions of Dakshina Kannada this might sound funny. But (contd)

Anti-Blackness is a worldwide plague. Chinese internet video makers claim they go to Africa to promote Chinese language and culture, but instead, exploit African children to produce racist mockery, shout slurs in Chinese for profit+entertainment of people who look down on them.

Got an email from someone asking for a pdf of an article I wrote, which made me quite happy. But the point of this tweet is to remind folks that scholars are generally pleased to share their work & if you can’t access it, ask them. Knowledge shouldn’t be paywalled.

@hunting4tea Awww. Thank you very much. I’m so glad that you like them 🌺🌺🌺

[Elizabeth George @Thebethgeorge]

I’m never going to do any god’s dirty job. If they want to hate or hurt someone so badly for disagreeing with them, they can come down and do it themselves.

Black LGBTQIA people, Black women, and Black people who protect and defend us don't own any Black person within our community who afflict us any solidarity, care, consideration, respect, and/or grace.

You're no "family" of mine if you are actively trying to come for us. Period.

@hunting4tea This is my current struggle! It’s so ridiculous. I’m basically going to be helping someone pay off their second or third home plus extra, and be left with no money to buy even a bedroom for myself. It’s almost criminal.

@UjuAnya @ProfAlang Your babe is a farmer and a prof?! Ah, you’re living the ultimate lesbian dream o😍

Disappointed but not surprised that the white cofounder of No white saviours is forcing their Black co founder out of the group. It was only a matter of time.

[Elizabeth George @Thebethgeorge]

Don’t try to force or trick someone into eating meat or drinking alcohol or smoking or whatever, after they’ve told you they don’t care for it.

Consent is not only a thing in sex. It’s also important in different aspects of our friendships and everyday lives.

[Uju Anya @UjuAnya]

I’m thinking of Nigerian English (not pidgin, English) statements like:

Come and be going.

They pursued him from there severally.

Statements in English those not used to communicating with Nigerians probably won’t fully understand. What are some others?
