One of my students walked into class like most undergrads do at 930am - physically present but mentally still in bed. As soon as she saw me, her face lit up & she said “Hey Queen!” While some may consider her greeting disrespectful bc she didn’t call me Dr. Jones, it wasn’t (1/3)

After my keynote speech for an event, a Black man came up to me & commented on my red blazer & matching red nails. He said, “that’s right. Make them see you. I noticed & I see you.” Often, “I see you” is used to compliment physical appearance, but that’s not how he meant it (1/3)

On my hardest days in academia, I’m reminded of the power of representation & the impact of my presence. For many Black girls, I am the 1st Black woman professor they’ve ever had, so when they see me, they don’t just see what I’ve done but what THEY can do. They are my “why”(3/3)

Being called “Queen” by a Black woman is one of the greatest displays of respect & praise. It made my heart smile. Not just bc she thinks I’m worthy of the title but bc she gets to walk into class every day & see herself in someone that she knows also sees the queen in her (2/3)

As Black women, the world rarely sees us, which sometimes makes it hard for us to see ourselves. And even though we see each other, it’s impossible to pour into someone from an empty cup. We deserve better. So much better. (3/3)

Biden has committed to nominating a Black woman as the next #SupremeCourtJustice and we know that, despite having an impeccable record, her competence will be questioned more than Brett Kavanaugh, a White man accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.

Tears ran down my face as I watched Brent Hospelhorn physically assault & verbally abuse a woman because she accidentally scratched his cabinet. Phoenix police “cited” him and claim to be investigating the situation. The video is loud and clear. He belongs in jail.

There’s a reason Brandon Bentley isn’t on every major news outlet, despite being heavily armed on a Black campus There’s a reason why there was minimal coverage of the 50+ HBCUs that received bomb threats last yr And there’s a reason why missing Black girls aren’t national news

It’s so ironic that these people are angry about me calling attention to the emotional needs of Black people who experience racial trauma while simultaneously causing racial trauma 🤦🏽‍♀️

Dr. Antoinette Candia-Bailey took her life bc of the way academia treated her & my mentee contemplated suicide 2 wks ago for the same reason. My heart breaks for them & every woman whose lives are at risk every day as they navigate sexist & racially hostile environments (2/3)

I’m used to racist trolls questioning the validity of my Ph.D., but being accused of plagiarism is a different level of disrespect. The underestimation of Black woken is infuriating, yet laughable when it’s comes from mediocre white men.
