Clearing space for #BlackWomen today, I’m reminded of the strength I found in Quirky Black Girls. We need that spirit now more than ever. Check out this interview with Moya Bailey & L’erin Asantewaa of SisterFire on holding space for counternarratives.

As the video states, L and I go way back. Here we are talking about two of my favorite projects I co-create: Quirky Black Girls and the Crunk Feminist Collective! Oh and dig the Bobby B that opens …

This week in North Philly Notes, we discuss the six Temple University Press titles that were banned from the Naval Academy’s Nimitz library. On January 20, President Trump signed an executive…

Why aren’t people talking about this energy?
Great rally in Kenosha. 4,000 people came out to say: NO tax breaks for billionaires. NO cuts to Medicaid. NO oligarchy. NO authoritarianism. NO MORE billionaires buying elections.

60 years ago, a group of brave civil rights organizers marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in the pursuit of justice and equality. Today we’re reminded of their courageous sacrifices, and tasked with the responsibility of doing what we can to carry forward

People think they know power—they’ve reread the definition, checked the thesaurus, and flipped through the encyclopedia. But real power? It’s when a nation’s stability hinges on a string of 5-4 votes. https://t.co/7TII2u57UF

Europe did the right thing. Weaning one’s self from American is not anti-America. It is pro-Europe. Europe must protect its borders — from the U.S. as well.
As a result of these days, we see clear support from Europe. Even more unity, even more willingness to cooperate. Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees. And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent. The

After 12 years with Evernote (switched when I went full-time Mac), I’m out. It broke the #1 rule of note-taking: K.I.S.S.—Keep It Simple, Stupid. Somewhere along the way, it lost focus. Spaces, Tasks, Reminders. Constant Updates. I just want to log a note. It’s not that deep.
