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.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Me offering $50,000 to transgender women is apparently against the official rules of this app. The same one that allows me to be called slurs every hour on the hour

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

Anarchism and chaos aren’t the same.
Anarchism and abolition go hand in hand.
Both with a focus on building a more humanistic society through interconnecting self-sustaining communities.
Something we need now more than ever.
