“Capitalism & Nationalism have taught us to think we pay for citizenship by contributing financially to the country. #Blackdisabilitystudies challenges us to meditate on the question ‘what is the value of a Black body if it is not a laboring body?’” #blackfreedomlectures @moyazb

“People can be disabled but not have disability politics. For example Madison Cawthorn suffered a car accident that left him with mobility issues, but his politics remains conservative and not a politic that moves at the pace of its slowest members” #blackfreedomlectures @moyazb

“I also think of all the Black freedom fighters from the past, many have disabilities but their stories often have their disability erased. I’m thinking of Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman and Audre Lorde and so on” #blackfreedomlectures #blackdisabilitystudies @moyazb

“My motivation for writing the book MISOGYNOIR TRANSFORMED is seeing the word start to be used in a way that is very different from how I initially intended it. It is not just ‘where racism meets sexism’ it is very specific” #blackfreedomlectures #blackdisabilitystudies @moyazb

Eve: “The hashtag #disabledandcute really highlighted a representation of disabled people that we rarely see in mainstream media. Such campaigns make me feel a bit less pessimistic about social media cause it can be a great tool for activists” #blackfreedomlectures

“For many disabled people in poor communities, they get most of their institutional support from the church rather than the government, which is fine but it means that people who are not straight etc have to hide their identity” #blackfreedomlectures #blackdisabilitystudies

I am definitely setting aside some time this weekend to watch @ruha9 in the @FreedomLectures series—and in the meantime, I’ll crack open Race After Technology, her @politybooks study on how tech often reinforces structural racism, and how to change that. youtu.be/TSFhUBqJ_3Q
