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.

This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

At #NCTE2025 in a fabulous session: "Preparing Preservice Teachers to Advocate Boldly for the Right to Read." Shout out for one of the articles I'm most proud to have out in the world.
So many teacher educators doing so much good to prepare future teachers to meet the challenges of this moment.

A5: oftentimes, the product becomes the point. So, “making a comic” for example overtakes any pedagogic benefit.
It makes a kind of sense given the compliance, product oriented paradigms present in anti-democratic classrooms. So youth culture becomes a gimmick rather than a site for learning.

Q5: An issue we've seen with integrating youth fandom #literacies into educational spaces is that these practices get co-opted or deadened. Have you seen this? How do we avoid these issues?

This makes sense! What are more authentic ways to bring comic-book activities into the learning process? #literacies

A3: In both comics and hip hop culture any number of critical issues and lenses immediately bubble to the surface. This doesn’t mean they are to be discarded. Rather the #literacies developed through loving critique makes fan spaces that shape epistemology and reality that much better.

Reminding me of Paris and Alim's notion of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies and their "loving critique." This is something I didn't understand in high school, that I could talk back to texts. How do you see this loving critique happen in fan spaces, I'm curious? #literacies

They are so fun to make and a great way to make sense of whatever you're thinking/wondering about. Makes me think an AERA 2026 @writinglit.bsky.social zine-making session could be very cool...
