    I wrote this, and I said what I said. In politics, as consumers, as employees and decision-makers, Black women are often ignored and taken for granted. But those who continue to discount Black women do so at their peril.

    Black women are the key to victory in 2020. Stop ignoring them

    "trying to explain the internet to your grandpa" 😂 I know I'm late, but I just saw that clip and it's funny (and so true).

    I think it was Pierce, but hearing, "Why's Mark [Jackson] on? He should be interviewing in LA for the Lakers" made me feel a way. Because Mark got Steph and them where they are, for Kerr to take them to the mountaintop. I wish Mark would coach again...

    PSA - you don’t have to do your diversity job searches publicly on twitter. You can go to germane events in other communities or maybe even... go meet some folks in your field who aren’t white. Thanks.

    It is very interesting the things people value v. what's discounted, and how that influences emotional availability and connection, or not. Basically, "Every pot has a lid," like Linda said. But I think I'll *always* have a lopsided lid, though. Forever. Period.

    draws a compelling comparison of the experience/treatment of black women in politics and the workplace. Bottom line, black women must be centered, lifted and amplified.

    "Just as in politics, it isn’t enough to be in the room. While in the room, our ideas need to be propelled, not drowned out, and implemented, not ignored." - on why we must not only include, but center Black women's voices in 2020.

    Yogurt company Chobani has stepped up to pay off the lunch debt of students in a Rhode Island school district that generated controversy by giving out cold sandwiches rather than a hot meal.
