Um... so today I was on @cbsmornings.bsky.social. 🤯

I talked to Jericka Duncan about why Black women matter to our economy. CBS called me a "Harvard Economist" (bruh). And Gayle King read my book, #TheDoubleTax. I'm in disbelief.

Here's a clip from our segment. #blacksky #news #jobs

Update: Keep an eye out, #Maine, especially the Portland & Lewiston areas.

At least 60 people have been kidnapped, many seemingly at night, or at the end of a work shift.

Help your neighbors. Every one of these folk are citizens or here legally via asylum.

Please share around. #AbolishICE

I was unemployed for 905 days before I secured the position I have now.

I still don’t even make 90 days until 2 Feb. At least my 10-week curse is officially broken, though. This is my second position that I lasted 11+ weeks since 2019.

I am grateful. 🫶🏾🙏🏾🤍✨
It's been a couple of days since our @cbsmornings.bsky.social segment aired and the response has nothing short of extraordinary.

To my fellow Black women, I hope you feel seen. Our stories matter. Our lives matter. We must lean on each other in this time. #blacksky

Anyone telling you NOT to call your member of congress today is an op or under the influence of an op

There is literally no reason not to

Telling people not to call is not a radical position
