The fact that Detroit is so Black but its media ecosystem is overwhelming white is deliberate. There are so many universities/high schools to recruit from for entry-level jobs & internships. Are you working with NABJ? Are you cultivating talent from within? Do more. Do better.

One thing I think about a lot is how millennials were repeatedly called lazy despite the fact that many of us were working side hustles to support ourselves and help our parents. Many parents regard their children as their retirement plan, which is a failure of the state imho.

I think if you really knew how your parents were doing financially you would be shocked at how they’ve been able to keep it together for so long. It might be worth having this conversation sooner than you think.

The fact that this election was this close for this long lets you know what time it is. It will be an uphill battle. And all the obstacles that marginalized people have faced will not suddenly be washed away.

The Pandemic Housing Boom Is Real — Except For Black Homebuyers

For the past year, headlines have trumpeted the housing market bonanza. But this coronavirus-inspired gold rush has hardly been inclusive.

People who say stuff like this want BW to be quiet about our mental health woes. She misses her parents, had issues with her label, was shot, was cheated on, lost friends... She's allowed to express herself. But y'all expect Black women to be punching bags who don't fight back.

I don't think some people realize how often rappers have talked about depression, anxiety and s*icide in hip hop songs. There's a long history of it. Some of these songs still get played because they are classics...

Yet another reason why MI needs public transit. Not everyone can drive in this weather. Having access to buses & trains that can get you around the city cheaply & reliably would probably save lives.

I'll keep saying this: diversity is necessary for the news industry to stay alive as the country continues to change demographically. If you want to keep these institutions alive, you have to be willing to evolve as the times change.

On a related note: this is why I hate when politicians focus so much on the middle class. We need to focus on POOR PEOPLE first. People who are unhoused, hungry & forgotten. No one should be in this situation in the first place. We have to ensure that everyone has the basics.

Y'all are coming for @overdramatique as if she's not a freelance journalist who's been commissioned by multiple magazines & doesn't understand the business. Black journalists are well within their right to criticize the institutions that are supposed to serve our community.

It’s embarrassing that a legacy publication dedicated to Black women didn’t post daily coverage of the trial. A meme after the fact for engagement? SMH. Taking a “let’s wait and see” approach to this case is the opposite of believing and protecting Black women. We see you.
