This year, the industry has been hit hard. It’s so important that we have spaces like this. Share and support. 🙏🏾
WE can still save Afros & Audio Podcast Festival. The 5th Annual Afros & Audio Podcast Festival is in danger of being cancelled but this is a CALL TO ACTION not a time to lose faith in what we’ve built together.

So, Angela Bassett is still a 👸🏾 queen … We’ll, when people show you who they are believe them. (Go read EWs voter article.) I’m going to go watch #TheWomanKing. LMK when Rihanna performs/wins — and if Michelle Yeoh wins. #Oscars

Hey sis, don’t forget to give yourself the same amount of grace you’re going to give someone else this week.

Sometimes you say nothing, not because you have nothing to say, but because you know the people you are saying it to won’t receive it.

Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner. She is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home.

Homeownership can be a long game. 💯 Love that @HerAgenda is creating a space to provide resources and hear homeowner stories. #heragendalive #propertyandpower

Today is #ElectionDay! No matter where you’re voting, knowing when and where you can access the polls is 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭. Use and share this handy list of polling place hours and encourage friends to lookup their polling place at weall.vote/pollingplace.

Anyone who ghosts you and makes you work too hard to understand them probably isn’t your person. At least not in this season.

time and time again, we see Black women setting the standard and being the cornerstones of whatever communities they inhabit. #MakingBlackAmericaPBS

This is why Black literature is necessary — at every period in time — and our stories should be read, respected and studied. #MakingBlackAmericaPBS
“It’s one thing to think about Black survival, but to write past survival into the living, into the joy…Publishing what it looks like to experience Black love during that time is monumental.”-@PorshaOlayiwola on first US Black literature anthology in 1845 #MakingBlackAmericaPBS

.@HenryLouisGates’ #MakingBlackAmericaPBS is telling the history they try to erase us from.

Sometimes you just have to embrace uncertainty.
Sadly, 😭we published the last episode of "Pop Cultured" this week. I'll truly miss producing this show. Thank you to all of our amazing guests and listeners. Here's our final love letter to pop culture. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Sad to learn that this week’s episode of Pop Cultured is its last. I really enjoyed both listening to and being a guest on the show. (Thanks so much to producer @dearalaisha for making the latter happen!) theskimm.com/podcast/a-last-…
