It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

in 2022, the CBC dropped all COVID measures and promptly ordered its workforce back to the office—mere months after the convoy siege of ottawa, a right-wing plot instigated ostensibly to force an end to all vax/mask mandates.

if the convoy failed to achieve its aims, it prevailed in one big way…
