    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    What is the price for killing an innocent Black man eating ice cream in his own home? Former Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger –– the woman who was found guilty of killing Botham Jean in 2018 –– has been paroled from prison after serving just 7 years of her sentence. NBC DFW reports there is no timeline for when Guyger will be released.

    Why The Courtside Finger Pointing At A’ja Wilson Unearths A History Of Racism And Respectability Politics for Black Women (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As Black women in America, we are constantly expected to possess an endless reservoir of grace and composure while absorbing disrespect and racism. When a white male spectator aggressively pointed his finger at Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson during a playoff match, a collective shockwave went through our community. Wilson promptly defended her space. Predictably, the officiating crew slapped her with a technical foul, and arena management temporarily removed the fan, then allowed him to return,

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A year ago today, we lost you. In the full year that has passed in your absence from the physical realm, your loss is still palpable. As I sat down to write this love letter to you, it occurred to me that this isn’t the first time we have mourned your loss.

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As the regular WNBA season quickly comes to a close and the playoffs come into view, we need to talk about the referees. Let’s start with the league. The WNBA’s refusal to invest in a full-time officiating staff has left part-time referees vulnerable to intense pressure, creating a double standard where certain stars are protected while others are ignored on the hardwood. The stakes are too high for WNBA refereeing to remain in its current state. Being a referee in any sport means having one of

    Redefining Suicide Awareness Beyond The Myth Of The Unbreakable Black Woman [Op-Ed] (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    September marks National Suicide Awareness Month, giving an opportunity to have public conversations about mental health crises and suicide intervention. The most dangerous form of despair in the Black community is often the most invisible and defined by a slow, passive surrender where we simply stop fighting for our own health and survival. Between 2011 and 2017, the suicide rate for Black girls between the ages of 13 and 19 increased by a staggering 182%. In 2023, suicide became the third lead
