An Ohio teacher, who was reading The Sneetches to her Grade 3 class, was abruptly cut off by an admin when a student said "It's almost like what happened back then, how people were treated. Like, disrespected. Like, white people disrespected Black people.” dispatch.com/story/news/edu…

For most African languages, high-quality speech-text pairs are scarce making building text-to-speech (TTS) systems fairly inaccessible. In our new work at #InterSpeech2022 (w/ @gneubig and Alan Black), we tackle this problem. 1/4 arxiv.org/abs/2207.00688

@tejuafonja @a_ogayo Love this!

One of our neighbors was injured. Will you please share this and support her? Please help Mikayla gofund.me/5762e6ee

@WaveHQ @InclusiveData This is an issue that affects three parties at this point. Us, Inclusive Data, and a third business.

@WaveHQ @InclusiveData We have already tried resolving this via the chat bot. This is not a problem bots can solve. We have been in a loop for days now with your email support, which may be also a bot (since it is a loop). Is there another way to resolve this?

.@WaveHQ we're having an urgent issue with you holding payment that we need resolved by 5/17. Can you please have someone reach out to us - Rep. Irelia hadn't been helpful.

We are looking for 300 local volunteers! Can you please spread the word? We're signing for I-135 this weekend and we're also working to get folks online this month. #SuppportBlackResearch #HotResearchSummer We support @HouseRNeighbors Register! bit.ly/bbrneeds300vol…

These are some of my favorite events. Check it out.

The WA State Digital Equity Act has passed! Thank you to everyone who supported the bill. For your commitment to achieving digital equity in our communities. 🥳🌐 #BlackBrillianceResearch #DigitalEquity #DigitalEquityAct #WAState

Thanks to @BBR_Seattle @EEC_WA and others doing this work! Thanks to @MiaGregerson33 for being a digital equity champion!

Excited that Shaun will be speaking .@netinclusion today about disrupting structural racism! #NetInclusion2022 We're co-designing a success kit to disrupt structural racism & have a sample on our website. Download it and let's continue the conversation. BlackBrillianceResearch.com

Shaun from @BBR_Seattle will be speaking tomorrow! Link to watch tomorrow at 1pm PST here: digitalinclusion.org/net-inclusion-…

It's essential we support #HB1723. We spoke to so many underserved community members and they were clear - this is the bill we need. It's frustrating to hear @ATT @TMobile and @Verizon aren't being honest. We must support digital equity now, our communities deserve better.

@amyjko Wow! We would certainly be open to receiving some, if you're down to support. We're a Black-led queer-led research collaborative. One of our main projects is digital justice. :)

I apparently made almost $5,000 in speaking and advisory board honorariums last year. Yikes! That’s more than I expected; I’m probably saying yes to too much. Who should I give it to?
