@60Minutes producers spoke to me for many hours. I even spent additional time building a custom demo for @andersoncooper and made recommendations on research to include and subjects to interview with emphasis on the stories of the #excoded who have been falsely arrested. 1/n

There was an interview scheduled and on my way to receive a COVID19 test I got a last minute notification that the interview had been canceled before I even reached the destination. It recalls to mind how @reshmasaujani and @GirlsWhoCode were handled by @60Minutes. 2/n

I was glad to see the work of @ClareAngelyn highlighted as it rightfully should be. From a public education standpoint I am not clear why @60Minutes did not include any of the results from the Dec 2019 @NIST study. nist.gov/news-events/ne…

@AJLUnited we will continue to do the work and also speak out against the continual erasure of our voices, our research, and our lives.

Shoutout to @shalinikantayya for her tireless work directing the documentary film @CodedBias which centers the lives and voices of the excoded and people negatively impacted by #facialrecogntion. Shout out to @naacpimageaward for using your platform to celebrate the marginalized.

So much wasted time fighting erasure. For all we have done via @AJLUnited, I still wonder where we could be with full energy. #CodedBias #VoicingErasure
