One of my favorite feminist African scholars @wunpini.bsky.social
wrote a book on media and decolonization. Politicizing how African languages, traditions can mold knowledge production outside of eurocentrism by centering indigenous ways of being, doing & knowing.

Order a copy and thank me later🥂

I had a tremendous time at NYU Steinhardt Department of Media, Culture, and Communication giving the keynote address for the Neil Postman Graduate Conference last week.

The student presentations were impressive! 🔥

What a beautifully generative space this was. 💛💙

I will be back! 😊

An Ohio University professor was removed from teaching a MFA class a day after returning home from an Israeli prison where he was detained upon being illegally abducted from the flotilla.

His students [solidarity!] walked out on the replacement prof in protest.
