Ms. Rachel invites a 3-year-old Black boy to her show and calls on sports teams and soccer stars to step up, celebrate his talent, and help him after a viral video shows him being kicked out of a soccer game by police for being too good ❤️👏
Parents called the cops on a 3-year-old for being too good at soccer compared to other kids and wanted to have him kicked out of the league 😳⚽

I came up under people like Kareem and Dr. Fuller. What he presents here is VITAL to ensuring our kids, BLACK kids are literate. As he says. Research without action is just talk.
Research without action is just talk. ResearchEd Toronto made space for the candid, sometimes uncomfortable truths that actually move practice forward. @nsachdeva2019 @researchED_US @researchEDCan #rEDTO2026 @researchED_US

I just donated 15 books. Listen, people, we are becoming a far less literate society, & we are obligated to help. Dr. Mel is and has always been an incredible educator, & I am so glad she gave us all the opportunity to make sure kids have books. Made it very easy. Who's with me?

Man, so glad about this. The books are relatively inexpensive, especially for the impact they'll have on a kid's love of reading--whether they have it or are developing it. Tagging dope people; please share and do the same. Send me more of these. @TorraineWalker @citizenstewart @Mr_Ankrum @selmekki @drboycewatkins1 @MrChuckD @KillerMike @DrTJC @Tony_Gaskew @marclamonthill @Wale @LupeFiasco @DrStevePerry @ProfessorJBA @Realrclark25 @alexanderrusso @VanLathan @bomani_jones

This iPhone Duo apps not optimized complaint as a trend coming from iPhone reviewers is the most disingenuous thing on the app today. I’d suggest you not listen to them bc they clearly will be misleading for clicks. That’s a lack of integrity because…

…they know better. They know it takes a while for first-gen devices to get their apps optimized. They also know that iOS is the leader in optimization of apps over time. They know that all of those apps will be optimized because how popular this form factor will be.

There are people trying to ragebate re: the iPhone Duo. The people that actually know Apple tech know its disingenuous to oversell apps not yet optimized on a first-gen product. They know developers have to get some time and the actual device in-hand. Don't fall for it.

Black wealth is falling. Student loan collections are returning. Black families are leaving the cities they helped build. I see all of these as connected stories. They’re connected pressures on the same communities. The degree was supposed to be a way out of poverty, not out of your community. Hear the conversation on Color Commentary with Dr. Cole. youtu.be/FuFH7J-ct3Y?si=GJR8…

The closer you get to the impact of illiteracy in people's lives, the less you're willing to tolerate and stay silent about.

Sold a Story changed the conversation on reading. Season 2 is looking at what happened to teaching itself and why an evidence-based approach (Direct Instruction) was sidelined for so long. Trailer is below, new episodes tomorrow youtu.be/4YDq-AB_d2c
