Lots of folks responded to my tweet on the power of learning black history asking for books to read. What’s clear is so many of us have been deprived of this essential history. Starting a thread of some works that were transformative for me. Please add your own. #BHMSyllabus
This book made me feel like I was seeing the world for the first time.
It’s the first time I learned how far back our history goes in this land, how much we contributed and how many laws and policies, actions were against us goodreads.com/book/show/1084…

Taking a single,semester-long black studies course in hs changed my life. Learning the history & contributions of black people empowered me in a way that is difficult to put into words. I became obsessed w learning this history bc I realized it had been kept from me for a reason.
I majored in history and African-American studies in college and continue to read this history obsessively today. You cannot convince a person she is inferior if she knows her history. It’s why my daughter has been learning this history since she was in diapers.
This erasure has been part of the subjugation process for black people and other POC. I truly believe if our youth — including white children — learned our history, they would be transformed as I was.

You have to say more than that. $3 billion in incentives in a city that can’t fund its MTA and where NYCHA residents were getting water from fire hydrants. These jobs promises almost never materialize & the politicians who make the deals are long gone after the lies revealed.
The historical track record on these deals is pretty clear. So, please elaborate.

This Day in Labor History: February 17, 1992. Yale graduate students go on strike. Let's talk about grad school unionization and its importance to the labor movement today.
Graduate student unionization has long been controversial on college campuses. Are graduate students primarily students or apprentices?
The answer should be obvious that all graduate students getting paid for work are workers, but you would be surprised how many liberal faculty members simply cannot accept this idea.

My life is an example of starting from absolute zero and getting to decent across an array of skills. Many times it’s been 20 years in the making.

Sharing this megathread not to brag but hopefully as an example that you too can make the choice to improve at things you’re bad at.
PUBLIC SPEAKING

I was cripplingly shy as a kid. In the 8th grade I had to give a speech. I did the whole thing with my notes literally held covering my face at eye level so I wouldn’t have to see anyone.
In college I went through entire semester-long seminars without speaking once (among a round table class of 12 students).

First couple times speaking as a founder I was incredibly nervous. I gave a lightning talk at Web 2.0 in 2007 and had to get drunk to calm my nerves.

@RepMarkMeadows We will discuss the following article, knowing what we know now.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
@RepMarkMeadows It sure sounds like this is referring to George, and it is highly likely there are recordings. We should hear those recordings.

George wasn’t meeting with Russians, he was meeting with Western Intel assets.
@RepMarkMeadows This entire passage is incorrect.

Trump associates were intentionally targeted and there was no five eyes Intel.

Here we have the beginning of the #show!
Kinda hot, but the first cloud loomed (pretty!)
We set up behind the #drums in the back 😊

For those who've never been to #DenverBotanicalGardens , imagine the #stage at the center bottom of an inverse pyramid.
Melissa Etheridge coming down the side ramp toward the stage!

This photo is bleached out cuz of the intense sun beating down on us (before the rest of the clouds would sweep across the sky)
Unsure which songs these are from.
The #lineup #featured #songs from #YourLittleSecret and back.
A fun #memory lane trip for my veteran show going friends, and a good #show for my newbie friends to walk into 😊

Idol Omega Jimin's heat strikes on full blow in the middle of a concert,

His manager Alpha Yoongi is freaking the fuck out. Having to take care of Jimin, shoo away other hungry alphas and think of the success of the concert all at the same time.
i'm starting this!

- do not reply to thread, only rt w/ comment

- if you spot any similarities to other works, it is by pure coincidence as i'm not some bitch who steals the fruit of other's hard work.

- do not read if uncomfortable
It wasn't like they never saw it coming, everyone who came 15 feet near Jimin could easily figure out that he was on the brink of it.

"You know you didn't have to continue with the concert right?" His stylist Taehyung spoke as he put hairspray in Jimin's blonde locks.

I have a mug of black tea infront of me. I can feel the juices of creativity flowing. Its time I start Season 5 of my life story Thread.
It took two weeks to clear with my employer. It got heated at one point since the Capetonian wanted to scuttle my agreement with the owner. I had to call him to tell him what was going on. The guy backed off and stuck to the terms of my resignation.
By this time I was talking to everyone I knew about job prospects. Calling, sending emails, texting. Anything. Everything. I spent the Christmas holidays with my folks in the village. It had been years since I did this.
I went back to Dar, packed my stuff and moved to Nairobi
