Such a great conversation! Thank you so much for being on
I've been arguing with Winstead for YEARS about whether I'm Black Studies.

Here Ashley and I discuss being a Build-a-Black Studies scholar, the Black Digital, Black Joy, and whether TikTok is a Black space

Shoutout to Dr. Ashley Newby for letting me YAP

Got to witness my former TA successfully defend her dissertation this morning. This evening I got to catch up with former colleagues… AND another great reminder on why I’m where I am. Today has been a long, but good day.

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

Black people are the patriots white America has always pretended to be. Period. New paragraph.
Senator Cory Booker has started his 18th hour of a filibuster on the Senate floor.

Thank you, Cory, for standing up for our veterans and the VA!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

My princess sat on the panel with us this weekend… she didn’t talk (this time lol) but apparently told the senior scholar who chaired our session afterwards that she’s “not a scholar yet, but I will be” she continues to be so many things I’m still working towards ❤️
