I curate spaces specifically to disrupt respectability politics. There is NOTHING respectable about oppression and the continuation of a narrative that imprisons and subjugates. This is a preview... #joyisstrategy

True joy is often mistaken for a luxury, yet it serves as a powerful tool against systems of supremacy. This perspective explores how joy restores the essential capacities of imagination, discernment, and solidarity. #joyisstrategy #areliajohnsonphd #hijackingequity

I know that it is hard being the only one. It is hard to do what is right when others around you are silent. But language is a gift and until we take it back, it will always be used against us. My book talks about this very thing: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/5Y6TFLB8…

It is so easy for Black women to go from "pet to threat." I have lived this and will probably experience this again. But now, I have both the wisdom and the unmitigated gaul to do what is right for me. I am the coldest at what I do!

I have been the first of many things; it is never an easy path. But do not allow others to dictate who you are to you. You are an unrepeatable gift to history. Build a wider door or knock that b*ch down!
