Opinion: Kamala Harris' often-mocked speaking style is the strongest tool in her arsenal
Black women receive backlash for dominant leadership styles. By choosing to project warmth, the vice president strategically avoids such reactions.

Now in the LA Times. In which I argue that Kamala Harris' choice to speak with warmth (rather than dominance) can help her win the presidency by avoiding the backlash that Black women so often face for dominant behavior.

Literally just resubmitted a paper on this exact topic, but the interactive graph here is super interesting!! Also highly recommend Melissa Nobles' Shades of Citizenship
I love this data essay by some of my @pewresearch.org colleagues looking at how the ways that the U.S. Census has measured race and ethnicity have changed over the country's history and how they're poised to change again in 2030.
Counting Race: How the Census Measures Identity and What Americans Think About It
How the U.S. government measures race has changed substantially since censuses began in 1790. Today, Americans differ on whether the government should ask about race.

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.

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.

I apply this to the case of the killing of George Floyd & the BLM.
