Excited for my book Imagining the Mulatta coming out to that engages with #mixedrace and #blackness in U.S and #Brazilian media.

[Illinois Press @IllinoisPress]

The media moralizes the mulatta figure as an example of an “acceptable” version of blackness that dreams of erasing undesirable #blackness while maintaining those qualities of interracial desire. Read more in IMAGINING THE MULATTA by @jasminephd!

Friends, please keep shining a light on Columbia & Yale and the criminalization of students there. But where is the outrage when this happens at @cuny & Brooklyn College-when working class students of color are criminalized instead of Ivy League students?https://t.co/xDoslwGUq9

Loved participating in this Race and Latin America forum with my piece on Afro-Brazilian actresses. Curated by Reighan Gillam, my comrade in all things race, Brazil, and media. #race #LatinAmerica #BlackWomen

Today at @BlkPerspectives: @jasminephd writes, "While other scholarly work examines the limited representation of Afro-Brazilians in mass media, Visualizing Black Lives examines the alternative mediascapes of independent Afro-Brazilian production."https://t.co/u3wRTnhD6u

Emocianda para voltar à Universidade de São Paulo na sexta-feira, 17 de março, para apresentar minha pesquisa. A análise discute como a branquitude é enfatizada e reforçada pelas representações das mulheres afrodescendentes nas telenovelas.

Returning to Universidade de São Paulo on Friday, March 17th to present my research on race and telenovelas. I will discuss how whiteness is reinforced through media representations of mixed Black women.

@BrazilBrian I just flew into São Paulo from NYC yesterday and sitting on the linha verde I was thinking the same thing.

January 8th in #Brazil with the trashing and storming of Brazilian Congress and the Supreme Court aligns with the US’s January 6th. Fascism undergirded by white Christian patriarchy in the US and Brazil will take us all down unless we show solidarity and instill #democracy.

@TheDailyShow Seeing Black women for who we are. Thank you!

@drjonessoc So frustrating. As state budgets continue to cut university funding, crucial voices are further marginalized from conversations and leadership.
