Um... so today I was on @cbsmornings.bsky.social. 🤯
I talked to Jericka Duncan about why Black women matter to our economy. CBS called me a "Harvard Economist" (bruh). And Gayle King read my book, #TheDoubleTax. I'm in disbelief.
Here's a clip from our segment. #blacksky #news #jobs

At least 60 people have been kidnapped, many seemingly at night, or at the end of a work shift.

I was unemployed for 905 days before I secured the position I have now.
I still don’t even make 90 days until 2 Feb. At least my 10-week curse is officially broken, though. This is my second position that I lasted 11+ weeks since 2019.
I am grateful. 🫶🏾🙏🏾🤍✨

It's been a couple of days since our @cbsmornings.bsky.social segment aired and the response has nothing short of extraordinary.
To my fellow Black women, I hope you feel seen. Our stories matter. Our lives matter. We must lean on each other in this time. #blacksky
