My TED talk crossed 500,000 views the other day after going up a little over a week ago.
Best part so far, though, is people writing me talking about things they’re doing after having seen it.

- Jeff Bezos just used Twitter to set a Black woman up to be harassed the rest of the day for speaking her mind, just in case you’re wondering what else is happening today.

- If you can make Nigerian prince jokes, you can check out what's happening with #EndSARS. They are not a punchline.
- Being a black woman means you’ll *still* get treated like an idiot even *after* you prove you’re smartbeing a woman means being treated like an idiot until you prove you're smart
- One aspect of this Michigan kidnapping situation that I hope more people pay attention to and write about is how all those (white) men intended to also kill police officers. But, somehow, law enforcement will continue to only think of Black men as a threat.
- This is not a new perspective, but I am so incredibly fascinated with how all these rules and regulations around what we can't do for people are breaking down in the face of this virus. Detroit halted shutoffs. Washington state re-opened its health insurance exchange. Etc.
- People canceling Tesla orders *now* vs when it came to light that Black Tesla employees were being called everything nasty under the sun at work should get no brownie points. People have been calling a spade a spade for a while now.
- I’m going to adopt this. 👌🏽
- The thing I like least about the folks who leave SF + Silicon Valley for Texas and Miami and wherever else is the crapping on the place they left *after* they've extracted all they can from it. The Bay Area helped you build your immense wealth and that's the thanks it gets. smh.
- I know some folks will be helped, but I’m tired of people always thinking Black folks need “skills training”. There are apprenticeships and bootcamps and trainings and workshops and yadda yadda yadda. Black ppl will get tons of training and then still not be hired, funded, etcGoogle Announces Initiative To Train 100,000 Black Women In Digital Skills By 2022 trib.al/ZM8xl1H
