BEWARE OF SCAMS! 🚨 Please share this post and help me let others know. It has been brought to my attention that someone is impersonating me. The target seems to be progressive political candidates.

I’ve been reeling all day from the shock of hearing that the wonderful Helen Kim has joined the realm of the ancestors. It doesn’t feel real. I thought we’d have so much more time with her.

Hyperlocal organizing, which can also link to more established organizations for greater durability, is one key answer to the shock and awe tactics of everywhere, everything, all at once. We are everywhere too. And there are more of us. Subscribe to read: www.vanessapriyadaniel.com/newsletter

Thrilled to be in conversation with my friend Gloria Walton at Busboys & Poets in DC on March 11th. The insights she shared and that I included in Unrig the Game will help so many - from how to prevent burnout, to how Black women leaders can navigate pervasive and false assumption of aggression.

It’s truly a “mystery” why more ordinary people don’t think the Democratic Party is fighting hard enough for us.

Vanessa Priya Daniel @vanessapriyadaniel.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

How much of the conflict we have seen in our ranks has been because of quick assumptions? How many of us have joined a swarm to take-down an individual or organization “in solidarity” with someone or a set of people with a grievance, based only on cursory information and even less context? No facts.

I've known Jessica Horn for more than 25 years and she is encyclopedic in her knowledge, BRILLIANT in her analysis, and revolutionary in her praxis. If ever there was a time when feminists in the U.S. need to listen and learn from African feminists on the continent, it is now!
