In 1 day, yesterday, since the end of Affirmative Action, 4 Black women leaders let go. I write about this cycle and how Black women lose first in my 1930s novel THE PERISHING. You can’t break a cycle you can’t see or choose not to see.
The book that wrecked me. COME! JULY 12th! Let’s go outside-outside, low key, to @vromans for:
