Amber Guyger Paroled After Serving Just 7 Years For Killing Botham Jean In His Own Home (opens the original)
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.

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

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