It is my immense pleasure, honor, and low-key-four-year-reason-for-being to present to you Rolling Stone’s FIRST Black African solo cover star, Rema. We went deep on his lore, dating, the Afrobeats “Big Three,” and remembering why you started. https://t.co/GGFagwAlMh

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. https://t.co/c9C7Zm4wsn

Really proud of this piece. Been working on a variation of this for over a year and talking with @christinajcross about her research on single and nuclear black families, which is now in published book form: Inherited Inequality!
For decades, ppl have blamed “broken homes” in Black communities for violence & poverty . But recent research from @christinajcross proves otherwise. For @RollingStone I wrote abt it & the discourse behind @iamcardib ‘s pregnancy https://t.co/XBpnfFC9YQ

Personally I think Monaleo using the attention on her wedding to educate young women on abusive relationship dynamics and then directing that momentum to a song that features PanAfrican imagery is genius. She’s doing something so important
