"Racism will disappear when [it's] no longer profitable and no longer psychologically useful. When that happens, it'll be gone" — Toni Morrison speaking to NPR's Michel Martin in a 2008 interview about her book, "A Mercy."
Toni Morrison was a towering intellect, a brilliant scribe of our nation’s complex stories, a heartbreaking journalist of our deepest desires, and a groundbreaking author who destroyed precepts, walls and those who dared underestimate her capacity. Rest well and in peace.
Why is it that when a large segment of our country, #Latinos, are hunted and killed in #ElPaso the headlines highlight the occupant in the White House and his White Supremacists instead? #RacialJustice#ElPasoStrong
“The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.” Happy Birthday James Baldwin! #SocialJustice
Gaslighting, having my ideas repeatedly stolen by folks who unapologetically got credit for them, being reprimanded by boss for their mistakes then told what a great asset I am in private.... Repeated trauma and White Supremacy at work inspired me to create @_ThriveAdvisory
@sometimestanvi Thank you for sharing your story which I’m sure so many is us experience. Appreciate your courage, honesty and putting it in words to fuel this much needed conversation so that we know it’s a problem, dominant oppressive culture can be traumatic.
Thank you @TerryMcAuliffe for your new book to deepen our collective country’s psyche on the importance of dismantling White Supremacy. https://t.co/4MTfgM0Qwk. #socialjustice#raceequity
Thank you @CoryBooker for calling out @JoeBiden on his huge blindspot, unaware that War on Drugs policies are racist policies responsible for 900% increase of incarceration of POC. We need a leader aware of structural racism. #DemDebate2#raceequity
