I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

If you're interested in the crossing points between crip theory, anti-eugenics, environment, global health and global ethics, check out @octoqueenphd.bsky.social 's new podcast #UnwellToBeginWith. It was a blast to be the first guest, & a fantastic episode with @stressedbranch.bsky.social is now up
For our 1st episode, I spoke with @audralmitchell.bsky.social about why crip knowledge systems belong in fields like IR & environmental studies; how policing gets normalized in classrooms; & why crip politics is about a lot more than just disability
