Opening night for the Spring musical and I could not be more proud of my big girl! I was worried about my sweet child playing the villain, but she assured me that she is an ACTOR and could pull it off. She was absolutely right!

Whew. Those “come by my office when you get a chance” or “I 100% agree” texts are not profiles in courage. Folks need public co-conspirators and not private “allies.”

This. Folks have got to stop problematizing race, when racism is right there!
Dr. Ijeoma Nnodim Opara, MD, FAAP, FAIM@innodim
In the year 2022, I don’t want to read anywhere that “Black race” is a risk factor for disease. 📣For the last time: Anti-Black racism is the risk factor for disease. AntiBlackness is the vector of illness. White Supremacist Patriarchal Capitalism is the etiology of malady.

How data is collected and what decisions are made along the way shape the information we consume. Knowing all the steps taken to collect, define, and report data will help consumers understand the context behind each figure. #TrusttheData bit.ly/3j4pBrY

This is the best way forward for everyone, but as a parent whose children have worn KF94s since September, I realize how cost-prohibitive this is for a huge proportion of families.
Touré@Toure
My child’s school just changed their mask policy—now students, teachers, and staff must wear N95, KN95, or KF94 masks. Cloth masks are no longer acceptable.

"The most basic activism we can have in our lives is to live consciously in a nation living in fantasies. Living consciously is living with a core of healthy self-esteem. You will face reality, you will not delude yourself."

Hearing Carolynn Johnson say that she doesn’t believe in unconscious bias, but that unchecked bias certainly exists changed the way I move in professional settings…and I haven’t known peace since

@DocAdams1020 This. The empty rhetoric definitely gives the feeling of “many an equity was uttered, but nary an equity was found.”

Me: …their song ‘Spread Love’ was a popular hip hop sample in the 90s and was immortalized by The 45 King…

The African American urge to give your child a crash course on Take 6 when they come home from school raving about Pentatonix.

I often find that the uncovering of patterns of inequity that seem somewhat intuitive are even more heart-breaking than instances of “shocking” findings.
AERA@AERA_EdResearch
A new @ERjournal_AERA article finds that approximately 30% of the gap between Black and White young adult criminal justice outcomes, SNAP participation, and BA receipt can be traced back to inequalities in school discipline. Read the open access study: journals.sagepub.com/stoken/default…

This. Times when I knew I HAD to speak up about something, I would already be drained by the impending defensive and gaslighting responses before I even uttered a single word.

I want to talk more about the toll it takes on Black women to go high, when they go low. Maintaining one's composure in the face of disrespect & bullshit takes so much out of you. I'm tired and it's only Wednesday
