We now know Kamala’s brave story. When did the rest of you “turn” black? How old were you? Where were you when the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories. This is a safe space. #WhenITurnedBlack

So @Fieldsish and @MikhailAlexa spent 7 months sifting through 2,000 cities and 200,000 datapoints to find the best place in each state for multi-generational families. These 50 towns are affordable, commutable, have strong schools, good access to elderly care, and foster strong and ties communities among residents.

Appreciated the opportunity to discuss LEGACY 📚 and what constitutes “health” 🩺 at #FortuneHealth last week with @fortunewell editor Jennifer Fields (@fieldsish): “It’s not enough just to write a prescription for a patient…”.

Great piece in @FortuneMagazine by @MikhailAlexa on how men are rejecting the "bro" stereotype and how “men unmasking their emotions is a game changer for leadership.” It’s a good reminder that the self-protective devices we often barricade ourselves behind can actually be limiting. fortune.com/well/article/mal…

Hey, we (@19thnews) made up a new metric to better tell our own story. We are storytellers, after all, and I love to see newsrooms, not platforms or funders, drive some of the rapid change around here. cjr.org/analysis/alexandra-s…

Y’all. There’s no illusion anymore. Kids in the diverse Miami-Dade school system in Florida having to sign permission slips to be read to from a book because it’s “by an African American.”
I had to give permission for this or else my child would not participate??? @SuptDotres #BlackHistoryMonth

Systemwide google classroom outage is the most unsurprising news of the day
A system-wide NYC DOE Google Classroom outage is just about perfect

Having purpose & meaning in life is very important for disease prevention & treatment. Ask patients, “do the things you do in life seem important & worthwhile?” Patients who have a purpose in life are more likely to engage in health promoting behaviors. Help them find purpose ❤️

If you’re thinking of hiring a former journalist for a content writing job, great. But you may be missing out on their other skills. These include: Research under pressure; diligence; leading investigations, tapping into a huge network, understanding the zeitgeist, & more! – at Queens, NY

DEI is not the reason why you presume Black people aren’t qualified. Racism is the reason. And a need to believe a Black person could not possibly do better than you. I know it and you know it, too.

One thing that's apparent in this scholastic debacle is that people still don't know how to use the word 'diverse' correctly

I read Jada Pinkett Smith’s compelling memoir, Worthy. In my latest column for @TheAtlantic, I wrote about why the barrage of criticism she’s receiving is horribly unfair and another example of how Black women are often penalized for having the nerve to give voice to their own pain theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
