The amount of journalists of color who are losing their jobs just a few short years after newsrooms worldwide made commitments to better reflect the communities we cover. Journalists, who without them, coverage will lack proper nuance and inhibit community trust.

The debate over that viral list of slang a teacher banned has been HOT. What do you think? If a student can’t say or write “standing on business” is that censorship/shaming or academic excellence? Education reporter @AziahSiid has more: wordinblack.com/2024/01/teac… #edchat

Less sleep for teens brings mental health struggles, bad grades, and crashes. Science shows later school times help. But opposition is really about logistics and costs, not science.

My latest for Word In Black!
The Lights on Afterschool events across the nation also serve as a way for local leaders and policymakers to hear directly from the students about the impact their after school programs have on them.
Wonderful piece on the impact and power of #LightsOnAfterschool and the wonderful people who organize and participate. Thanks, @AziahSiid at @WordInBlack, for covering this amazing event!

I wrote my first opinion article for @WordInBlack about the tragedy that took place at my alma mater @MorganStateU on Tuesday.
MSU provided so many of us with skill, knowledge and experience to be the people we are today, & that’s what I want folks never forget. Take a read ⬇️
The shooting is part of America’s gun violence epidemic, and raises the question why the good things about HBCUs don’t make national news.
