I’m a Black woman, a writer, editor, and doctoral candidate who regularly writes about race, gender, culture, and history. As a doctoral candidate, I am almost done analyzing my research. Stay locked in and subscribe to my newsletter to learn about the findings when they are published. Writing is both my passion and my career. While I may not publish every day, I write daily, hence my nickname, the daily writer. The essays I publish are designed to critique social norms to foster essential conversations.
I am the type of writer who shakes tables. Still, I feel I’m doing that for all the right reasons: to foster positive social change through honest conversations about power, privilege, various forms of discrimination, and access to opportunities. The topics that appear the most in my writing are black history, race and racism, diversity, equity, inclusion, and the experiences of marginalized groups.

In asking what people would like to know about black history, I'm hoping more people feel inspired to share black history and to be the change they hope to see⚡️
Given the history of its creation, the Electoral College was a pro-slavery instrument from day one
Given the history of its creation, the Electoral College was a pro-slavery instrument from day one
“When slavery was abolished, the country failed to eliminate the Electoral College, despite this system being created to keep disproportionate power in the hands of White Southerners. Racism is baked in, so we must bake an entirely new pie if we're looking for a different outcome.”
Here's Why Some White People Love the Myth of Meritocracy
“Once you realize that racism hinders equality, the myth of meritocracy is left bare and exposed, like an emperor who wasn’t wearing any clothes.”
While American students often hear about the horrors of the Holocaust and the brutality of Hitler’s Nazi regime, they are unlikely to learn how American policies, the systematic oppression of Indigenous and Black people, inspired their cruelty.

Why Even Nazis Felt America’s One-Drop Rule Was Too Harsh
“Many would be shocked to learn that German Nazis considered America’s “one-drop” rule a step too far because we’re fed the myth that Americans are the good guys in every conflict, ignoring the role the nation has played in fostering inequities, not just within its borders, but throughout the international community.”
