My favorite collection of hers. Her writing was so funny, and so sincerely radiant with love. Even the tough love was tender on the inside.

Here’s a chat btwn #NikkiGiovanni & #JamesBaldwin I’ve watched a few times over the yrs. I love how deeply it centers Blackness. Both express skepticism abt Black political representation & discuss diversity of Black views abt so many topics from movements to masculinity.

A bloody 24hrs in Sudan.

From SAF airstrikes in Kabkabiya (dozens killed; some estimates put death toll at 85) & Khartoum (27 killed)

to RSF bombings in Omdurman (at least 40 killed) & Zamzam IDP Camp (at least 8 killed)

Civilians remain the primary victims.

Today, we honor the countless lives destroyed in #TigrayGenocide. Even though the world has largely moved on, the crisis in #Tigray ensues & survivors of genocide suffer in silence. There must be justice & accountability for such gross human rights violations, past & present

Governments have a duty to ensure their people's human rights. Since Nov. 2020, the Ethiopian govt has not only failed to protect Tigrayans' rights but has grossly violated them in the #TigrayGenocide. Tigrayans' right to life continues to be infringed. #HumanRightsDay.
