LA, NY
Joined October 2012
Congratulations on taking a stand. You are correct, this is the moment for us all to make a statement. I will be cancelling my subscription to the Washington Post and the LA Times today. Both of their positions are indefensible.
As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

Thank you Jake for your wonderful feedback.
This business biography is FANTASTIC. @IamDebraLee brought me to tears and back going DEEP on struggles she faced rising to CEO at @BET From mindset issues she got over from her father, to rising success, and a toxic relationship with her boss... I've never been so captivated
