“Haitians have sought asylum at US borders for decades, but every presidential administration since the 1970s has treated them differently, rejecting asylum claims, holding them longer in detention, and making it harder for them to settle down in safety.” vox.com/22689472/haiti…
Behind every cruel photograph is a long history of inhumane policies.

A few thoughts on this piece by Yunghi Kim (and before I begin, respect to all the women that were named in this piece and not named and continue to bust your asses everyday.)
I seems like it was this quote that really touched a nerve for some women who have been working in our industry for decades: “For a very long time, we’ve been predominantly looking at the world through the experience & vision of male photographers,” Daniella Zalcman.
The quote was read by some as "gas lighting" an entire generation of woman Kim calls the "silent generation." And as revisionist history negating the pioneering work women had done in the 90s.

A few thoughts on @BoRhapMovie

As a Parsi Zoroastrian I want to make sure folks don’t think Freddie’s father just came up with the concept of👇🏽

“Good thoughts, Good words, and Good deeds”

He says it a few times in the film, while looking directly into Freddie’s eyes.
This simple phrase is one of the basic maxims of Zoroastrianism

Humata, Hukhta, Hvarshta in the Avestan language or good thoughts, good words, good deeds.

As kids this is drilled into us as a way to follow our own “righteous path.”
The order matters

Good thoughts - first you think, contemplate, possibly reconsider

Good words - you begin to speak it out loud, in public, to close friends

Good deeds - you then act, because step one and two are complete this then doesn’t seem like an insurmountable task.

“Newsroom employees are more likely to be white & male than US workers overall. There are signs, though, of a turning tide: Younger newsroom employees show greater racial, ethnic & gender diversity than their older colleagues.”

About that turning tide... pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018…
That’s newsroom leadership focusing diversity initiatives on internships, fellowships and new hires. Having young diverse voices with no security or authority in the newsroom is not a “turning tide” it’s a way for the power structure to maintain the status quo, unchallenged.
Diversity in newsrooms is a failed experiment, except for white women.

They have been the largest beneficiaries of diversity initiatives and they have failed to bring up other women (of color) with them.
