Every time I log on I check the trending six expecting to see you, or Marley K, or Catherine Pugh, Esq. and I always see the same, mindless topics. Since Black writers began speaking out, I started paying attention and there is definitely a calculated effort to suppress certain Black voices. There are a few who get out there, but those who speak unapologetically and simply tell the truth about what is going on are never highlighted. I joined less than a year ago and don't have a lot of followers so I wouldn't know if it affected me, but when I read prominent writers speaking out on it I took notice. There appears to be no escaping this type of treatment so we have to do for ourselves to make sure our voices are heard. Thank you so much for your incredible writing.
