Three years. Three cities. One question that keeps getting more urgent: who owns Black data — and who gets to decide? WOBD III lands in New Orleans this May 20–22, hosted by the Amistad Research Center on its 60th anniversary. The public event is May 21. Free! All welcome!

Coming soon 😈

Honored to be in the Hip Hop South special issue! Big love to my brotha @CoreyMiles__ for curating something so beautiful. This piece about grandma was probably the hardest thing I've written - very grateful @SCquarterly allowed me to share her light

Never imagined I’d write a book but I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with @NYUpress Coming to a bookstore near you!!

With the end of the semester approach, and the passing of Nikki Giovanni, my students and I crafted a poem to sum up our time together. And, well, I’ve been crying for the last hour 😂 Idk, I thought I’d share…. Rest easy. Thug life (iykyk)

New piece of mine dropped in Qualitative Inquiry! “Condensed Eulogies: On Biology, Brutality, and Blame.” Been experimenting with tone and prose a lot lately; hope some of it resonates. Check it out and lemme know what you think!

Hope you’re proud, Doc 🖤 (Iykyk) Had a blast @Trinity_U this week! Special thanks to both Dr. Anene Ejikeme and Dr. Tahir Naqi for organizing and facilitating!

One of them special full circle moments! Headed back to SA to talk about my book! Really excited to return back to return back to the place where so many of these ideas got started If you’re in the area, pull up!

how the homies and I present in academic spaces // how we actually feel about it 😂
