Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

I have a few advocacy projects for next year but a big one is to improve Seattle's School Streets program. Currently, a "school street" in Seattle generally looks like this.

One of my college interviews was with a dude in a hotel room!
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

Cool to be included in this article on being car free in this business. I’ve been bike commuting with transit to writers rooms for twenty years now.
