Reminder.
Can we please get this Shona → English translation paid for? $2935 to go.
(We're out of time to fundraise for the Kiswahili book (Dunia na Watu Wake), but if anyone has $5000, that would fund it - I could get you in touch!)

Please, let's fund the translation of Zvinobvinza. It's been a long seven months.
Many thanks to the first cis white man who we see talk about the project.
At this point, we can't translate the third book unless someone can donate $5,000 (reach out directly) but we *can* close up these first two.

This is fascinating because this is such a new field and somehow they are going to hire 100 tenure-track faculty in the next 5 years who specialize in it. And yet when asked to fill spots with faculty of color/women/marginalized groups, administrators often cry about how the pipelines don't exist.

Wait so codifying segregation and firing qualified Black women wasn’t good for the economy?

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
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.
