1/12 An open letter to The Christian Left, a “progressive online ministry” that is inflicting organized white violence against Lace Watkins, a long-time follower of @TheChristianLft and renowned Black Christian #activist bit.ly/316sAq8 #shareblackstories 
2/12 Her transgression? Being a Black Christian woman who dared to question the white male co-founders of The Christian Left for profiteering off the death of Congressman #JohnLewis by appropriating his legacy of #goodtrouble.
3/12 The Christian Left refuses to #listentoblackwomen. They ban Lace and erase all of her comments. They silence anyone who kindly invites them to consider how their behavior is at odds with their stated values, which they call "concern trolling" rather than #goodtrouble.
I wanted to start a thread to help support some of the Black companies I’ve worked with and some Black business that I think are really dope for Juneteenth. If you know any more let me know to add to the list. #HappyJuneteenth #SupportBlackOwnedBusinesses (Thread)
1. “Get Right Fragrance” I had to honor of becoming the face of this Black Owned business that is trying to change the landscape of the Men’s fragrance game by being more inclusive to their consumers. You can support here: getrightfragrance.com #SupportBlackBusinesses
2. @MarcMyStyle a dope photographer based out of Philadelphia that is changing the way Black people are being depicted with his “New Crown” series. He’s selling pictures to help support the “Black Lives Matter” movement. Follow him to support #SupportBlackBusinesses
The #PublishingPaidMe convos are beautiful. Lately, I keep re-upping @annbauerwriter's 2015 @Salon essay, "Sponsored by my husband". THREAD salon.com/2015/01/25/spo…
I started getting paid to write newspaper & magazine articles in 2005. It's been 15 years. Throughout it all, working other full-time jobs is what paid the bills and allowed me to keep writing.
.@annbauerwriter's essay is beautiful and striking in its openness about class & privilege in creative industries. #PublishingPaidMe
