    Important update Ebony Magazine still owes dozens of freelancers tens of thousands of dollars. They missed a court-imposed Sept 28 deadline to pay a cohort of writers, and haven't responded to calls from This is wage theft.

    So, remember the issue? Where EBONY magazine forced me and some 40 other writers to take them to court for stories we never got paid for? They’re fucking up again. Missed a court ordered date to pay out another round of settlement paymwnra.

    I’d just like to point out that me still. But I have come to grips with the fact that it is an organization who steals from work from black people and doesn’t give a fuck about black writers.

    Good morning. Reading through is making me so upset. So many writers and creatives who STILL haven't been paid for their work. Shameful

    I just need someone to trace this cute Ebony mag cover game back to its source. Because it feels like “positive propaganda” while they owe Black writers over $70K collectively.

    This situation reeks of the situation. Don’t be fearful to hold them accountable like we were to Ebony. All skinfolk ain’t kinfolk and FanCon is clearly a CON CON. File suit together

    upwards of $80,000 according to some of my writer friends, and they had the nerve to throw an expensive, fancy party. Good grief.

    Most of the writers who had done work for Ebony last year and have been waiting for months and months to be paid (rememeber the campaign?) will get their cheddar. "The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice." MLK Jr. Details 2 folo 2/27.

    This stuff is scary and disheartening. I vividly remember the first time I opened their mag and fully realized it was a pub for me and created by people who look like me. As a freelancer, missing checks is no joke. Do right thing. Pay your creatives.

    Myself and the other writers in the lawsuit are finally going to get paid! Just got word of our settlement, which says we're going to get paid by the end of the year. Bittersweet, but glad this is close to finally being over. S/O to for having our backs!

    “Ebony Media...will pay out the full amount claimed by the freelance contributors in quarterly installments over the course of the year...Ebony does not admit liability or wrongdoing in the settlement.” ...Make note.

    The labor movement stands with these writers. Freelancing isn’t free.

    Thank you to all who amplified this today. A lot of freelance writers could use their money for their labor in the situation. You never know who is watching or may be willing to step up on our behalf. We just want we are owed. Love y’all 💕

    1) Because it’s Xmas Eve and , my thoughts are with my fellow freelancers who are going without $ after hard work they put in. I’ve got no doubt the suits are living it up today. And i got time for a mini thread. So let’s go...
