in many ways Aiyana IS Teen Vogue and Teen Vogue is Aiyana. The idea that she was laid off today is painful to even fathom. Please follow her and offer her everything.
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.

Quid Pro Qatar Quo
The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.
MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.
They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
