Beauty Diplomacy by Kemi Balogun is out today! Praise from Maxine Leeds Craig: "With vivid description and sharp analysis, Beauty Diplomacy reveals the layers upon layers of complexity that surround the Nigerian beauty pageant industry.” #ReadUP sup.org/books/title/?i…

New on the SUP blog— Kemi Balogun wrote about Nigerian beauty pageant contestants and the power of friendship. “Promoters and fans view beauty queens as cultural ambassadors. The relationships between beauty queens represent microcosms of diplomatic affairs” #ReadUP

We hope to see you Tuesday, October 20, at 1 PM (ET) for a virtual book discussion with Kemi Balogun, author of #BeautyDiplomacy. eventbrite.com/e/book-discuss…

This whole thread is fire.

I don’t think diversity training can fix this.

As a Black Muslim who’s spent decades listening to random white folks insist that my community take responsibility “for the extremists in our midst,” I have questions. Lots of them.
