Throughout THE RACISM OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU, Samira K. Mehta, PhD works in highly personalized experiences, navigating spaces where she’s often questioned for her choices that often come down to her biracial identity and upbringing. INT'L. EXAMINER 🐉 buff.ly/48PouTc

A couple of details wrong, but this review really got the big picture of what I was trying to do spot on!

So, I spent 4 hours on hold with MOHELA today. About 20 minutes in, I talked to someone lovely, who said I needed help from someone above her in the assistance pyramid and she transfered the call. After 4 hours on hold, they disconnected the call. Not cool, MOHELA.

Popping back on to Twitter for what else but self-promotion! I wrote a little holiday piece: #Hanukkah #Chanukah #Christmas #TheIndustrialRevolution

I love writing with Brett Krutzsch, Ph.D. Krutzsch, but I also love being edited by him. Check out my piece on this special issue of The Revealer Religion and Reproductive Rights.”

A lovely write-up in the CU Boulder Arts and Sciences magazine of #TheRacismOfPeopleWhoLoveYou :

For a brief moment, I missed that this is as of next year. I was totally willing to believe a university pulled this bananas stunt for this coming (momentarily) semester. (The fact that they are giving decent warning does not make it okay…)

In one of the last good things that happened (for me) before this platform collapsed, the delightful Sarah Doneghy noticed #TheRacismOfPeopleWhoLoveYou and asked if I would appear on Mixed Messages. And here I am, episode 8!
