So many lessons from my friend @nhannahjones, this morning. Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported. Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance. And, avoid spaces if they barely tolerate you, even if they’re familiar and beloved.


OMG I’m just seeing this. I know it’s 17 twitter years later, but, @SorayaMcDonald, thank you. No phone calls yet, but to say we are not shocked is a vast understatement.

Here is my full statement about my decision to decline tenure at UNC Chapel Hill and instead accept the inaugural Knight Chair in Race and Reporting at @HowardU.

"I have never asked for special treatment. I did not seek it here. All I asked was to be judged by my credentials and treated fairly and equally." @nhannahjones' official statement on declining the tenure offer from UNC Chapel Hill: naacpldf.org/press-release/…

Whew. This thread. Much, much respect to @JoekillianPW, a dogged, smart, well-sourced reporter, the one who broke the UNC tenure story in the first place.

Meeting with #NikoleHannahJones for an interview this week made me reflect on my June interview with Walter Hussman, the conservative Arkansas media magnate and #UNC megadonor who lobbied against hiring her. It's worth talking a bit about these two people and interviews.

You know what time it is... #shortwaveshoutout time! This week, I'd like to highlight the podcast Songs of Speculation by @mswalkerwrites! It's part lecture, part performance piece, and part mind-blowing. You'll be enthralled once you listen: category-other.com/episodes/songs…

From @nytimes: “The role of the critic of color is to unveil and unearth the structures that lie behind and underneath and propel these narratives which always star the same figures.” This work is happening in outlets like Hyperallergic & @ARTSdotBLACK. buff.ly/2RZ5ICW
