It is always a pleasure to be a guest on #DetroitToday with Stephen Henderson. One of these days I hope it will be to celebrate victories for racial equity rather than discussing more legal obstacles.

Very worthwhile reading from Jamila E. Jefferson (she/her) Demetria Frank and Darrell D. Jackson on moving forward after the #SCOTUS decision on #AffirmativeAction

I’m so excited that the HBO Documentaries new release Donyale Luna: Supermodel will start streaming Sept. 13 at 9pm ET. Do yourselves a favor and watch this beautiful film. And, I’m not just saying that because my sister Nailah Jefferson is the director !🤩
