Constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating
Harsh writing advice for the digital world.
RaceAhead editor Aric Jenkins says goodbye, and good luck.
But first, here’s your Cicely Tyson memorial week in review, in Haiku.
Cicely Tyson
was never here for any
of that okey doke:
The servile, the weak,
the criminal “Negro” on
stage and screen. What an
abomination!
I am Rebecca, she said.
I am the struggle
and the dignity
and the strength and the story.
The whole, American
story. The awards
she did not win await her
in heaven. Rest, Queen.
Aric has been a blessing to me and the raceAhead community! I can’t wait to see how he shapes the world next. To all, wishing you a powerfully restful weekend.
