So @AnandWrites says everyone on cable need is prosperous & he’s never sat next to an uninsured person on the air. He and I have shared the screen together. He gets paid to appear on MSNBC. I do not. I’m uninsured, have no steady income, & grew up below the poverty line. (1/3)
My mother still lives below the poverty line. I’ve shared the green room w/ppl who echo the same myopic perspectives from the chattering class. They’re celebrated & elevated. And paid well. They have shows & lucrative contracts. I speak my truth for free & juggle bills (2/3)
to support my family. I began my career in cable news 20 yrs ago-it’s still the same. I navigate ALL communities of color. I deal w/white media elites. I’m around the working class. I AM the working class. ✊🏾It informs my analysis. Anand, nice to meet you. 🙋🏽‍♀️😁 #NoShade #ijs
