Excited for my book Imagining the Mulatta coming out to that engages with #mixedrace and #blackness in U.S and #Brazilian media.
The media moralizes the mulatta figure as an example of an “acceptable” version of blackness that dreams of erasing undesirable #blackness while maintaining those qualities of interracial desire. Read more in IMAGINING THE MULATTA by @jasminephd!

Friends, please keep shining a light on Columbia & Yale and the criminalization of students there. But where is the outrage when this happens at @cuny & Brooklyn College-when working class students of color are criminalized instead of Ivy League students?thenation.com/article/societ…
Loved participating in this Race and Latin America forum with my piece on Afro-Brazilian actresses. Curated by Reighan Gillam, my comrade in all things race, Brazil, and media. #race #LatinAmerica #BlackWomen
This forum was a dream come true! Thanks to @AAIHS @BlkPerspectives and to the contributors: Laura Correa Ochoa, Bryce Henson, @cdariusg, @jasminephd, João Gabriel Rabello Sodré, Vítor Antunes, @tropigalia, and @StephReist. I've learned so much from each essay & others will too!

Emocianda para voltar à Universidade de São Paulo na sexta-feira, 17 de março, para apresentar minha pesquisa. A análise discute como a branquitude é enfatizada e reforçada pelas representações das mulheres afrodescendentes nas telenovelas.

Returning to Universidade de São Paulo on Friday, March 17th to present my research on race and telenovelas. I will discuss how whiteness is reinforced through media representations of mixed Black women.

January 8th in #Brazil with the trashing and storming of Brazilian Congress and the Supreme Court aligns with the US’s January 6th. Fascism undergirded by white Christian patriarchy in the US and Brazil will take us all down unless we show solidarity and instill #democracy.
