Rihanna Interviewed By Golloria

Many student journalists aren’t even compensated for their work.

I keep thinking about the students who are missing work and class. Are professors excusing missed assignments? Will students have their jobs when they’re done with coverage?

Student journalism publications and stations are learning labs that have literal consequences for student safety and wellbeing.

I hope students are provided with some sort of trauma-centered care.

Dear high school principals + district superintendents, during #graduation speeches please remember the students who tried their best but didn't have perfect attendance, win awards, earn scholarships, aren't going to college, joining the military. They've achieved something too.

I’m seeing a lot of ppl interpreting calling out BLATANT racism & colorism from brands as.. begging? Quite the contraire.. I personally want nothing to do with them but I’m not allowing it either. Brands like this don’t deserve to make a dime. Here are some brands I recommend 🧵

These brands are SO comfortable in racism, Youthforia was already called out about their range but the founder thought it was funny and tried to be hilarious with coming out with a Black shade. I wish her the worst. If I said what I wanna say, I’ll get wiped clean from this app

This is Heman Bekele.

He was born in Ethiopia and moved to the US at age 4.

He was named America's 'top young scientist' after developing a bar of soap made from compounds that can reactivate cells to help fight skin cancer.

He's 14 years old.

Public discourse has become increasingly toxic. Husky Civic Saturdays are an effort to turn that around and restore some civility. #UWMag magazine.washington.edu/feature/at-hus…
