The 19th spoke with Aria S. Halliday about her inspiration for the book, her own journey and what Black girls and women can learn from each other.
Black girls are ‘missing’ from popular media. Here’s how we can do better.
In her new book, author and cultural critic Aria S. Halliday considers how society has limited who Black girls are — and who they can become.

Residents of the Loop, Chicago’s downtown area, live on average until they are 87. In the West Garfield Park neighborhood, the average is 67. (via @wbez.org)
There’s a 20-year life expectancy gap in Chicago. Many of these deaths are preventable.
West Garfield Park residents are expected to live on average until 67 years old, compared to Loop residents living to age 87. This is widest death gap in Chicago and the biggest gap of any big U.S. city, the most recent data shows.

The image makes me also wonder about the race/gender dynamics of this policing. As is true of the pregnancy rate, they are not concerned about ALL of us—they are talking to young white women. The demographic they need not defect from their racial project.
Self deputizing and policing over Aesthetics is like the fascism playbook.
Literally going to be packed like sardines for hours, I do not care what people wear as long their giblets are covered and they keep their legs on their side.
And honestly what success are we going for on a packed plane?

This argument applies to fields that do interviewing or ethnography as method. I remember years ago asking people how they went through coding copious interviews and even then it was using technology to map patterns.
I always did it “by hand” but I also never interviewed more than like 40 people.

I am heavily invested in handwriting & historical documents. Historians need to weigh carefully whether time spent transcribing documents is “wasted,” or whether it actually helps thought processes & skills. This is not to say these tools should not be used.
Just consider the cost of “time saved.”

Bullying and sexual harassment are both, fundamentally, about power: a way of making the bully/abuser feel big by making the victim feel small.
One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.
This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.
