Dear White women: WOC don't exist to work for you. WW's entitlement on *free* resources I create asking for more unpaid labour is blistering
-
She said it would be great "exposure."
I have a platform which is how she found me. But somehow exposure in a *textbook* is "payment"? No.
2 other academics in space of 2 weeks asked for virtual meetings; one saying they would publish my work they'd read; other to contract me

Instead, they kneedled me for my specialist knowledge on EQUITY (!), thinking I would be ok with being deceived & having my time wasted.
-
By the way, journalists & publishers do the same. Because I write on equity on social media, I must be okay to perform free labour for them
-
White women in particular think that I will give them one-on-one coaching or give over my intellectual property for their pet projects. Nope
-
WW are incredibly exploitative of WOC. What we publish takes a lot of work & takes its toll personally & professionally. It should be enough
-
Social media is not an invitation to demand more than what WOC are willing to give. Lack of basic respect & appreciation is astounding.
-
I wish more White people understood the courage it takes to be a WOC on social media. The fact that we are here, sharing, should be enough.
-
So go ahead, use what I create - that's why it's generously in the public domain! But don't expect to get a "bespoke" version of everything.

And stop stealing WOC's intellectual work, emotional labour, &creativity. Be a good colleague & treat us like real people with finite energy
