LOVE WINS! How many academics can say that their book is being shared and launched by community members? Watch this video to see how a #ROSCA lady is calling my book, her book...*not* the only one doing it.

❤️ This progress is making those invested in maintaining the status quo very upset. Lets go!

Here I am with 3 out of 12 members of the Junta Artist group in Copenhagen. This Junta (a #ROSCA) has been active for 2 years, focused on creating a collective financial system. Junta is the Peruvian word for a ROSCA, and it's occurring below the surface in Denmark to address economic inclusion.

#bellhooks makes me feel motivated to continue my work knowing that universities which attack radical #Black #Feminists with HOMEGROWN VALUES do so because *THEY KNOW* that we ARE doing the right thing.

Far too many academics fail to speak out because they are careerists. They advance in administration positions (many fail upwards imo) to earn big stipends, grab the goodies and enjoy course releases. #truthteller
