"I am not a maid, I am a reporter for the Washington Post!” - When I first covered stories for the @washingtonpost I had to affirm myself and make sure I stood my ground. To this day, women fight for the right to tell THEIR stories. Don’t let anyone take your power! #motivation

My new oped: Canceling just $10,000 in student debt would be bad public policy and a devastating political mistake. This is Biden's chance to right the wrongs once and for all, and leave behind a memorable legacy of equity and racial and economic justice. cnn.com/2022/08/24/perspecti…

I'll never forget school counselors telling us predominantly black, largely poor, kids that student loans were considered "good debt."

The student loans conversation really shows how evil-minded people can be. If something goes to make other people’s lives easier, they react as if it’s a personal insult to them and really argue that people should be made to suffer unnecessarily.

I’m glad the student loan debt relief will help who it helps. But it’s okay that we are transparent that this doesn’t help many of us because the compounding interest will recoup the 10k on most debts over a few years time.

BET really gave that man a platform to tell the world what a disgusting human he is?! What happened to “protect Black women?” This is exactly the type of person we need protection from. I pray Ashanti is surrounded by loved ones & safeguarding her peace

Today, we're set to hear an announcement from President Biden about student debt cancelation. We don't know what it will be. But before it happens, let's talk for a second about the red square by our name—and why it's there.

Canceling $10,000 in student debt when the average white borrower is $12,000 in debt, while Black women hold on average over $52,000 isn’t just unacceptable, it’s structural racism.

Brittney Griner is a Black queer woman - she is “the other” - within these institutions there is no protection, no fairness, no justice for the other. We must name that. This is life or death.

On the eve of the #DefendBlackWomen March, it is great news to hear that the U.S. has reportedly made an offer to exchange a Russian national for the return of #BrittneyGriner and another American! Let’s seal the deal and bring her home! #WeAreBG cnn.com/2022/07/27/politics/…
