I've had an enormously gratifying year creatively — I'm v grateful to be able to work across several different media platforms, and hope to broaden that work even further in 2020. Here are a few highlights from 2019. Bc Twitter.
I guest hosted @crooked_friends and got to talk about interracial relationships in the Trump era w @quintabrunson and @melissafebos. crooked.com/podcast/not-ma…
I weighed in on This is America and felt like I said something kind of interesting about it. wnyc.org/story/here-it-…
I launched my REBEL conversation series on race and culture @WNYC w amazing guests like @jennydeluxe @jsmooth995 @BootsRiley @Moore_Darnell @JamilahLemieux and @vvchambers gothamist.com/2018/07/18/reb…
I participated as a subject in #TheLovingGeneration docuseries produced by @topicstories. topic.com/the-loving-gen…
I met @Oprah. shondaland.com/inspire/a21206…
I talked w @desusnice about books for the @nationalbook "Notes from the Reading Life" series. I loved this so much.
I consulted on the duPont Award-winning podcast "Caught" and produced its launch event hosted by @Mysonne. wnycstudios.org/shows/caught
I pitched a pilot based on another podcast I co-produced and that is dear to my heart to a number of studios in LA, which was super fun and v exciting.
I reviewed a book that I think is both important and problematic about interracial adoption. latimes.com/books/la-ca-jc…
I remember Ntozake. thenation.com/article/ntozak…
I served as a mentor for the Alison R. Bernstein Media Mentoring Program at @IWLRutgers.
And I sold my memoir, Surviving the White Gaze, due out from Simon & Schuster in early 2020. Amen. Onward.

I can't stop thinking abt the white boy frm the other soccer team at the after game party who was so cute and I was enamored and none of the popular white boys at my school liked me that way and this boy asked me if I wanted to talk and led me to a dark room #WhyIDidntReport
Once in the room he shoved a bureau up against the door so no one could get in and never turned on the lights and shoved me on the bed and took his pants off and shoved my head down and held it there and I panicked and began to feel tears and wanted to scream #WhyIDidntReport
It makes me sick remembering his hand gripped down hard on my head and suddenly someone pushed through the door and the bureau fell over and all the things on top of it tumbled off and the girl who opened the door was so angry at me and demanded I clean it up. #WhyIDidntReport

Honestly @jes_chastain as an outspoken voice for equality how do you pose for a photo like this and not feel absolutely mortified by the blatant exclusion? How is it possible to not understand the msg this photo sends?
It is literally the antithesis of "a shift in focus" -- this is literally The Same Focus on White Women in Hollywood.
To present these women collectively worth millions of dollars as change agents when black women with like regular jobs just saved an entire Southern state from a racist pedophile getting seat in the US senate is just beyond.

As a young black woman starting out as a producer for the prestigious Charlie Rose show, I had to gauge every day whether to respond to casual racism or sexually predatory behavior.
I spoke out about racialized or micro-aggressive racism and was punished for it. The predatory behavior was ignored or accepted or laughed off -- it was inherent to our daily culture.
There was no infrastructure for learning the job (I was a first-time producer) let alone a place or person to report such things. We were embedded in the massive Bloomberg offices, but there was no sense that our issues were relevant overall.

"this year i choose to burn my good candles on a tuesday at noon, just because. i choose to use the expensive lotion, the one i keep tucked safe up on the counter. not ration any of my most cherished belongings, because i am worth investing in — right now."
"this year i choose to wear that thing. you know, the one i told myself i would slip on when i looked a certain way? i choose to love my body. this vessel i have been given. and her seasons as they shift."

Here comes the much awaited thread of the top ten lesson that I learned in 2018. Some of them I knew already, but they became even more important this year. Every experience, good or bad, is a lesson and we only fail if we miss the lesson. Here we go #My2018Lessons
Lesson 1: 1. There is a strength in being outside the establishment or someone that is seen as being naive or new to the culture/game because only you can have the audacity to play the game differently from how it has been played historically. #My2018Lessons #blessed #grateful
Lesson 2: Being an underdog and a misfit gives you the freedom to try things that no one else has ever dreamt of. This may attract criticism and that’s okay, as long as you are authentic. Just keep doing YOU, the underdog. #My2018Lessons #blessed #grateful

Catch me up: when/why did everybody start saying "stan"?
Ok, I'll buy that this comes from the Eminem song. (Which yes, I know, that was pre kid and shit.) But...i've never heard it used or seen int #here until a few months ago and now its omnipresent, so what was accelerator?
honestly, I blame @SlackHQ

Recommendation 15: ZBC needs to be reformed into a truly independent public service
broadcaster and state-owned media must abide by their legal obligation to be impartial and
provide equitable treatment to all political parties and candidates.- @eueomzimbabwe

#media #Zimbabwe
@eueomzimbabwe In accordance with the Electoral Act, from 4 July the state broadcaster ZBC afforded free access to political contestants through various programming aired on TV and radio stations. - @eueomzimbabwe report

#media #Zimbabwe
@eueomzimbabwe Nevertheless, ZBC failed to abide by its legal obligation of ensuring equitable and fair treatment to all political parties and candidates in its news and current affairs programmes.- @eueomzimbabwe report

I want you feeling people (ONLY those who refuse to eat tortured flesh....and it is all tortured)_ to know a few things. 1. You are the chosen ones. And no, you weren't self designated chosen, the genetic engineers who designed you chose you.
2. Your designers were a million years advanced. In fact, your own kind who tried to grapple with what they could do labeled then Gods.
Your own kind's literal and concrete interpretations and texts miss the entire truth of the matter. The truth, by the way, is more fantastic than the foolishness of what others believe. I say this to you because you were made to discern this once someone told it to you
