TN State Rep. @Justinjpearson (D) ahead of House vote to expel him for protesting gun violence:

“It is no coincidence that the two youngest Black lawmakers in the state of Tennessee, and one of two women, are on trial today ... This is what happens when you lose democracy.”

@SocJillian Congratulations Jillian! Great news! 😊

@SocJillian Sorry you’re getting shit from people. Ignore them. Great to read a perspective that showcases the complexities of colonialism. Congrats on another accomplishment

[Jillian Sunderland @SocJillian]

For @CBCNews and #emancipationday, I wrote about the history of colonization and slavery in Barbados and how this legacy still haunts my family lineage. It is a personal piece and *my first* national story, I hope it resonates.

Thank you @tamara_baluja

I finally have all my specialized test results & it's much worse than anyone hoped or predicted. My life is going to be cut rather short due to physical complications with cancer & political complications with #Covid19
