I’m literally finishing up an auto-ethnography on the hyper-sexualization of Black women in the workplace because of these exact scenarios! I mean damn, as Black women we’re crucified for everything. Why are our bodies deemed as such distractions? Just let this woman teach.

I fear we care too much about “making a roster” for a group of men who simply aren’t interested in us being their person, and that’s okay.
However, I admire Amanda Seales and value her crucial, challenging work. Many prefer popularity over difficult discussions. We must ensure a safer environment for our community in this tough world.

This woman literally just spoke about my life. As an adult, I chose to have a relationship with my mother, but it was WORK on my behalf to forgive her. Parents, let’s do better so your child doesn’t have to pray to be able to forgive you literally.

Ew. I’ll never not blame racists. It’s internalized racism that you even feel this way and it’s racist that he can do this and it’s associated with his entire race vs when a white person does it, it’s not.
Blessed to announce that I was recently inducted into the Edward Bouchet Graduate Honor Society held at

! Dr. Bouchet was the first African American Ph.D. recipient and exceptional leader who persevered through systemic racism. It is because of them, I can also 🤍

He’s actually right they’re saying DEI means “didn’t earn it” which IS their cowardly away of getting around not saying the n word but implying it.

The sequel Getting to Happy (novel) goes deeper into the themes you describe. While in

3/4 remain single, in

3/4 find some semblance of happiness with a partner. I think it did a great job depicting how we have to be whole and know ourselves + set boundaries in dating.
@ZezeMillz
I completely disagree with your statement. Everyone regardless of gender should leave a relationship if it no longer serves them, instead of feeling that they have to settle due to an internal clock. I love her view on this.
I wholeheartedly believe everything this child said.
But also the mom bothered me. I’m paraphrasing but the “When you get older you’ll have long hair and wear make-up..” ma’am please.
The ideals that are imposed onto girls are nonsensical.
So this week I did a thing. I successfully passed my written & oral comprehensive exams. Sharing this joy with the amazing people who’ve been told they can’t or they shouldn’t even try!

She didn’t wear this on the date but I do think we should show a variety of pictures on our social media accounts. So men can see us natural, no make up and no edited photos.
I presented my research today on intersectionality, racism, and Black women eco-activists! I’m so proud of myself. I seriously dislike public speaking but I actually did good today because I felt so comfortable in the environment. The energy at ABS was so good 🤍
Hey everyone! I’m raising money for a co-worker of mine to get a new laptop. Her old one no longer works (and was very old) and she needs a laptop to finish her course work + go on to graduate school next year. Anything is appreciated!! 🫶🏽

I love Insecure because it really started with Issa being 29. She did not have it all figured out and still was able to conquer her version of success and happiness. I love it. I needed this representation.
@LawyerBaeee
I honestly feel like can a man be mad if this is the traditional woman they want right? They want a submissive woman right? Then this is the other side of that lol
I’m so over everything being about race too White people. However, in America EVERYTHING is about race. So instead of being mad at the ppl calling it out, how about you help undo the systemic and institutional racism that exists that give us drastically different life outcomes?
Still studying! I will defend my proposal this semester. I will graduate spring 2025. I will have multiple job opportunities lined up for Fall 2026. I am NOT playing with myself.

It’s usually illegal in cities for people to ride bikes on the sidewalks. While they should fix sidewalks, bike lanes should be increased as well as a better public transportation system. We could cut down greenhouse gas emissions with the addition of a train system + more buses.
No child should ever be in this predicament, we really need more resources for individuals experiencing abuse + stricter laws and resources for those that abuse. So many lives lost and so many households damaged due to someone’s inability to control their emotions.
11-year-old Jayden Perkins, a beloved dancer who was talented beyond his years, was killed trying to protect his pregnant mother from a serial domestic abuser
Black Women believing Sexxy Redd makes “us” look bad is such dweeb behavior. Respectability politics have some of us in such a chokehold. They was callin Michelle Obama everything but a Child of God but yeah, Sexxy Redd hittin the chicken head is the problem🙄

Right and there’s nothing wrong with Lori telling people that. She’s right. We all should have high standards for our partner, instead of settling for whatever we’re handed and thinking we should because we’re “everyday” people. Her words, not mine.
Y’all know what I dislike? That’s it’s considered tacky to ask someone how much they make within a position. Are you embarrassed or are you gatekeeping?

@HowardGSA
gala was back in full effect since the last in-person gala pre-Covid! I have had the best time being the President this year and being able to be in community with HU Grad + Professional students.
There was nothing but Black beauty, excellence and AUDACITY honey!
Life is literally about constantly evolving.
I grew up in a negative household where people complained a lot + had so much trauma from their past they never dealt with so it informed who they were.
Now I’m 29 trying to undo these traits that have been integral to who I am.
The student body of my alma mater, Howard University has elected it's first Trans president of HUSA, formally known as the Howard University Student Association
Today, I was the ONLY African American male to graduate with my PhD from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

Today is officially my last day as a professor for the Spring 2024 semester 🥹
This semester has been worth every long night and early morning to be able to expose my scholars to new topics surrounding the social world.
So rewatching This is Us for the second time and Kate and Toby really irritate me. I understand there’s complexity in relationships but Chile…. I’m on Toby side.

I know this isn’t helpful atm but when God moves likes this it just mean he has something different planned for you. I’ll be praying for your uplifted spirits. I can’t wait to hear the blessing behind the disappointment soon 🫶🏽🤍
This is why sex work is a trap.
Nobody should wonder why it’s hard for women to get out of sex work.
$15k in a week will never happen for an average woman working a normal 9-5.
See I knew this already and this is why he’s been removed from my top 5 list. Idgaf what the purpose was, his lyrics were disturbing. We can’t normalize or rationalize this bs.
Yesterday, I had a conversation with a friend concerning the disconcerting reality that celebrities we admired growing up could soon be revealed as sexual predators. Our patriarchal society once normalized behaviors that are currently recognized as deviant and immoral.

We have to also remember that these are students who got their primary learning virtually throughout the pandemic. It’s different for them and we should adjust, shoot it’s difficult for me sometimes.

I recommend joining student orgs at your university as well as regional orgs for your discipline. Meeting colleagues isn’t hard but friends is something that will take time.
