The Guardian: What is some advice you have for women who want to write online?

Ayesha Siddiqi, EIC of The New Inquiry: The voice is your head that’s asking how dare you is the voice produced by an environment that’s going to be challenged by your daring. The risk of undervaluing what you have to offer, especially for women of color, is so much greater than the risk of overvaluing it. Your contribution may not be grand, but its absence is going to be deeply felt and be part of a much greater void in our culture and history.

Ay ay ay! This is beautiful. 

I love how some words and phrases cannot really be translated. Taken from La Marisoul’s (of La Santa Cecilia) Facebook. Couldn’t love this more if I tried. 

This is the last picture I took with the Brooklyn Pikachu-Açaí Stars, the amazing group of youth I worked with in #Brasil! I still remember that moment when we had to take the picture and some of us couldn't stop crying and laughing at the same time. Missing the beautiful, amazing and dedicated Brooklyn Pikachu-Açaí Stars. You will ALL be forever in my heart. This experience was AMAZING and I recommend it to anyone interested in #coaching #English in #Brazil, trying something new, or stepping out of their #comforZone. I am so #thankful for this experience and now I'm #fundraising $500 for future fellows so they can embark on this experience next year. If you want to learn about my experience and/or make a small #donation please visit my fundraising website www.coloradogives.org/Di_Araujo. #USBC #CoachingEnglish #YouthWork #Educators #InternationalWork #LifeChangingExperience

Really cool video produced by the Global Action Project & The Point CDC youth about Stop and Frisk in NYC. Shout out to the great activist youth in the video and those behind the scene! Know your rights! 

Shoutout to the young POC being unapologetically themselves in a world full of white supremacy.
