Now why am I In it? lol jk! Thanks for the shoutout @ravynnkamia.bsky.social
But this clear-eyed version of critique necessitates truthtelling. Truthtelling is not popular. Not only is it unpopular, depending on your positionality, committing to telling the truth can quite literally cost you your life. Following the work of communications scholar Dr. Moya Bailey, who, along with Trudy @thetrudz), coined the term "misogynoir," scholar of Black digital misogynoir Dr. Kay Coghill has written about the harm Black women and femmes experience online for speaking up.
