A doctor climbed on top of a pregnant Black woman during a cervical exam... held her down, forced her hand inside her body, and left her traumatized. 💔 When she refused to let it happen again, they labeled her a difficult patient. That label followed...

A white girl did blackface, looked her friend in the face and said "you're nothing but a slave"... and thought it was funny 😶 Blackface has a body count. It was created in the 1830s specifically to dehumanize Black people and provide cover for slaver...

She walked into the hospital ready to meet her son. She never brought him home. 💔 Maiye's story is one that should have never happened... a removed monitor, three vacuum attempts, and a system that never told her the truth. This is what Black materna...

She really said "go do your research" while getting every single fact wrong 😭 We did the research... and history has entered the chat. The "legal vs illegal" argument falls apart the second you open a history book, and the "replacement" theory has be...

Most people have never heard the name Doris Miller... and that was by design. This is the story of a Black sailor who was only allowed to cook and clean, grabbed an unmanned weapon during the attack on Pearl Harbor with zero training, and became one ...

Ida B. Wells told the truth about racial terror in America, and white mobs were so threatened by it that they destroyed her newspaper office and put her life at risk 😔 Still, she kept writing and refused to be silenced. 🙏🏾

Tried something different! Went out in New York City and asked people 3 health questions. Should I do more videos like these?

Wall Street is known for wealth, power, and finance... but long before it became a symbol of money, it was the site of an official slave market in Lower Manhattan. 👀 In 1711, Black men, women, and children were bought, sold, and hired out there in pu...

She went to the hospital to give birth... and ended up in court. 😮 While in labor, Cherise Doyley was placed in a virtual hearing after refusing a C section, forced to defend herself from a hospital bed with no lawyer or advocate. 🥹 Hours later, surg...

Access doesn't just disappear... it shifts. Maryland has quietly become a place people rely on when care is restricted elsewhere, especially for reproductive health. But access isn't equal, and for Black women, the stakes are still higher. 🥹 When pol...

Before Thurgood Marshall ever wore the robe, he was already forcing this country to answer for the laws it hid behind. 🙏🏾 A Black man from Baltimore who used discipline, intellect, and pressure to help break segregation at its core. Not just style. N...

I'm not gonna lie… this one feels unreal 🤯 Being named a Webby Honoree?! Like… are basically the Emmys of the internet recognizing the best in social media, video, and digital storytelling across the world. And somehow… somehow my work is in that co...

Los Angeles destroyed a thriving Black-owned beach to build a park. In 1912, Willa and Charles Bruce created a place where Black families could finally enjoy the ocean... and it flourished! Then the city took it. 👀 This isn't just history… it's a pat...

A federal staffer responsible for reviewing and cutting DEI grants said that learning about Black civil rights history is not "for the benefit of humankind." 👀 Let that sink in. The very history that shaped laws, rights, and democracy in this country...
