18 years old and writing about white genocide before he went out to massacre Black folks buying groceries.

But tell me again how we don’t need antiracism education in schools.

@jenfrytalks So many feelings. 😭

[Dr. Victoria Farris • she/her @vfarris27]

That part!

White folks, discomfort will not actually kill us. But our racism is damn sure killing lots of other folks.

Lia Thomas is a talented, hard-working athlete who is successful because of her hard work, not because she is transgender.

Sorry to bust your theories. 🤷‍♂️

Hands down. I was taught to outsource my worthiness and confidence, and I simply could not tolerate what happened when I went against the status quo and stopped getting pat on the back for being a good girl!

@berrycapria So excited for you, friend!

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

May you find and create spaces where you don’t have to fight, defend, anticipate, perform, prove your humanity.

May you have space to breathe, be, create, and bloom.

Let it be so.

[swm @sheathescholar]

you don’t have to do the hard things all of the time; it’s really okay to say no, to take it easy, to chill.

Leaders must own their DEI work. Of course, DEI execs can consult and guide you, but each business unit leader must make this work personally important and prioritize it if they want to be effective leaders.

It’s not underrepresented. It is systemically excluded. It is institutionally oppressed. Accountability starts with language.
