I am so, so grateful to be a recipient of the 2024 American Mosaic Journalism Prize. essence.com/news/black-wom…
All those pandemic meetings were only about power and nothing else. Management feeling out of control because their job has always been about pestering coworkers. The way people need to feel in charge is frightening.
Personal new year, a new hobby, new newsletter format, new experiences. All new, all the time. Happy 42 to me. 🫶🏾 read A Home Within Myself sherisa.substack.com/p/what-do-you-…
I talked with @andersoncooper about grief, adoption, what it means to be the only one who remembers the family you grew up in, and how experiencing a deep loss can lead you to become someone new. #AllThereIs @CNN podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nic… @eccobooks
“My memoir is a love song for working-class, low-income immigrant women… I really wanted to spotlight her life and what I’ve learned from her. Her story is also my story. I also wanted to write a memoir that played with form – echoing migration itself.” raisingmothers.com/ten-questions-…

Trying to explain to my 10 yo how to gage politics: “look at the most vulnerable communities. How do they fare when the cards are played? How are they being lifted up? Are they?” You can’t raise justice minded people when you aren’t yourself.
This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate. 1/5
There are Palestinian babies in the future, there are Congolese babies in the future, there are Sudanese babies in the future. We must fervently believe this.
If we have billions at the drop of a hat for war, can we please have health insurance for all?
