Dear white-passing, Hetero-passing, cis-gender-passing people on this earth, I am not afraid of you. I have known you all my life. I opened my heart many times to understand your ways. I’m going to keep trying until you let the love in. #WhitePrivilege #bellhooks #BlackWomen

Watch #theshining again last night. I didn’t remember that, in the story, “shining” is a word Mr. Halloran (#scatmancrouthers ) learned from his grandmother, yet there are no Black women in the movie at all. Black women’s creativity and contributions are hidden in so many movies.

Years ago, I found in a dusty university archive Dr. Du Bois's forgotten modernist infographics of black life (https://t.co/cbFwpCdPZb). Thrilled to see them newly alive in neon artworks by @TheasterGates, curated by @ProfessorEA's brilliant son @simon_ghe https://t.co/JAGtEWNcmY

I was on adrenaline until now and hadn't really processed everything. What I'm thinking today is that if this is happening to me, with an incredibly supportive team+manager (who is also a director) & a lot of visibility, what are they doing to other Black women?

I need someone to explain to me why we can afford a $740,000,000,000 military budget, but we can not afford to pay people to stay home to contain Covid.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.
