This afternoon in TIME MAGAZINE, @mariannecooper.bsky.social and I discuss why 300,000 Black women leaving the workforce is bad for the economy, bad for society, and bad for you.
In the piece, we argue that Black women are the canaries in the coalmine and why ignoring #TheDoubleTax harms us all.

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

Over 300K Black women have lost their jobs. That's a huge story with wild consequences for the economy. Your first priority as a progressive org should be to hire some goddamn Black women.

I often think about Imani Perry saying “I’m not surprised but I am horrified.” That really is it.

The sport is baddie breaking… to pursue a woman with disingenuous intent… not to love them for who they are … but to break them into pieces of utility
Imagine FINALLY getting asked to do an interview & the only topic that people want to discuss is a relationship that ended nearly 20 years ago. How irrelevant…🤭

I saw a tiktok where a woman's best friend gave her an opened bag of her favorite chips for her bday but the entire bag was folded chips, the woman's favorite. Double favorite. Curated a whole snack experience for her girl 🥹
Want to learn how to treat a woman?
Watch how women love their best friends…check-ins, good morning texts, thoughtful gifts, quality time, affirmations, planned trips. The blueprint is right there.
Just listen and take notes.
