In this era of growing social & political tension, can young Black Americans trust their white friends to show up? I spoke with three people about how (or if) they’re maintaining friendships across racial lines and what care they still want to receive. wordinblack.com/2026/02/can-...

More Black folks than ever have interracial friendships. Three young adults share what real allyship looks like to them.

How can artists support Black unhoused folks? I spoke with Jaiye Kamson of the LA Poverty Dept., who says free events are a good start, and they should be "promoted at places like clinics, at community centers, at drop-ins. People need to reach out to the community." wordinblack.com/2025/10/art-...

In a moment where everything about me as a Black queer woman feels under attack, creating this project honoring Black abortion stories is one of the few times I haven’t felt powerless this year. Profits will be donated to BW4W to aid in their fight for reproductive justice. www.nrjnp.com #blacksky

The Black Arts Movement began one day after Malcolm X’s assassination. Since then, the icon’s spirit of power & pride has influenced generations of Black artists — from poet Gwendolyn Brooks to hip-hop legends Public Enemy &, most recently, sculptor Nathan Murray. wordinblack.com/2025/05/malc...

This year has been tough, and I needed a moment to feel safe. But after a recharging month of traveling around the UK and Europe, I learned that what I crave is not to escape from the U.S. but to be able to live peacefully here. @wordinblacknews.bsky.social wordinblack.com/2025/04/is-t...

Is Travel Really a Balm for Racism?
Rest fuels resistance. Heading overseas can provide relief from racial trauma, and reignite the drive to fight for justice at home.

Before people become activists, they must first know it’s possible to create change. I spoke with Poetry on Peter founder Miyana Sarver about creating spaces of hope and resistance — and how other young Black folks can do the same. #BlackSky wordinblack.com/2025/02/atla...

All week, my loved ones have told me they feel helpless because of the actions of the Trump administration. I spoke with @tananarivedue.bsky.social for @wordinblacknews.bsky.social about navigating these feelings and what fighting for justice will look like now. wordinblack.com/2025/01/blac...

For Black women, the horror genre is about more than just blood-filled entertainment — it’s also often about exposing and moving beyond injustice. I highlighted 5 books by Black women to add to your reading list (and gift this!) this holiday season: wordinblack.com/2024/10/5-mu...
