I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

This week in our philosophies of history class we'll focus on Postcolonial History & Subaltern Studies. We'll discuss Said, Guha, Prakash, and (a little) Spivak. I look forward to students' thoughts on subalternity, voices and voicelessness, and historically "provincializing" (the idea of) Europe. 🗃️

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
