In a moment where everything about me as a Black queer woman feels under attack, creating this project honoring Black abortion stories is one of the few times I haven’t felt powerless this year. Profits will be donated to BW4W to aid in their fight for reproductive justice. www.nrjnp.com

From writer Nadira Jamerson and photographer Arieanne Evans, “No Reproductive Justice, No Peace” aims to honor the experience of abortion in the Black community, create resources for Black folks seeking abortions, and offer a chance for solidarity and healing.

Trump is a problem but he’s not THE problem. THE problem is racism, sexism, & queer phobia. I see non-Black folks speaking up against the prez, but your work must extend beyond that. What are you doing to combat the racism in your local community? In your family? Your internalized racism?

The Black Arts Movement began one day after Malcolm X’s assassination. Since then, the icon’s spirit of power & pride has influenced generations of Black artists — from poet Gwendolyn Brooks to hip-hop legends Public Enemy &, most recently, sculptor Nathan Murray.

This year has been tough, and I needed a moment to feel safe. But after a recharging month of traveling around the UK and Europe, I learned that what I crave is not to escape from the U.S. but to be able to live peacefully here. @wordinblacknews.bsky.social

Before people become activists, they must first know it’s possible to create change. I spoke with Poetry on Peter founder Miyana Sarver about creating spaces of hope and resistance — and how other young Black folks can do the same. #BlackSky

All week, my loved ones have told me they feel helpless because of the actions of the Trump administration. I spoke with @tananarivedue.bsky.social for @wordinblacknews.bsky.social about navigating these feelings and what fighting for justice will look like now.

For Black women, the horror genre is about more than just blood-filled entertainment — it’s also often about exposing and moving beyond injustice. I highlighted 5 books by Black women to add to your reading list (and gift this!) this holiday season: wordinblack.com/2024/10/5-mu...

Hi 🧚🏽 I'm a journalist and horror writer whose work focuses on themes ranging from social justice to mental health and Black and queer resistance. Also new to Bluesky and hoping to connect with other writers/artists!
