My second book is under contract with MIT Press and I couldn’t be happier! Reparative Media argues that repairing our culture means healing how we make media, how we connect through technology, and how we generate knowledge. More about it: madelab.org/research/repar…

My op ed about the last days of Twitter is out. It was sad to reflect on all that could have been. I write this piece not just as a commemoration but as a warning - we need better systems of tech oversight theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

@MeansColeman Wow, congrats!

Watch @unapologeticdoc for the true backstory on grassroots movement work led by Black queer women in Chicago, work that undoubtedly led to a shift in city and state leadership, including the ousting of Rahm Emanuel. amazon.com/gp/video/detai…

Thrilled to announce @elijaa_ has been named a 2023 @elevateprize winner! Beyond unrestricted funding to @weareotv, they'll be joining an incredible cohort of nonprofit leaders who will receive tailored resources from Elevate over the next two years. elevateprize.org/winners-2023/
