As you all know, I write A LOT (for different magazines and media outlets) on everything from economics to STEM to structural racism in those spaces.

Latest piece was a co-authored w/ @DomRussel : we used data to show how men and women differed in receiving the infamous #DrJillBiden op-ed with @Slate . Huge shoutout to @jon_fischer for editing that piece. https://slate.com/business/2020/12/jill-biden-op-ed-wall-street-journal-dr-analysis-sexism.html
#EconTwitter Across #BidenHarris2020 transition teams, @drlisadcook is the only Black woman PhD economist, which is why I wrote in @TeenVogue about her work and advocacy. Thank you @allegrakirkland for editing this piece. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/economist-lisa-cook-joe-biden-transition
484 Black women majored in Math last year. @TheFantaTraore and I wrote about this as we discussed how systemic issues plague the pipeline for Black women into corporate spaces for @FortuneMagazine. Thank you @MatthewHeimer for editing this piece! https://fortune.com/2020/11/11/black-women-corporate-leadership-pipeline-economics-stem-education/

#EconTwitter Another @Newsweek article that rocked, I co-wrote with @DaniaFrancis where provided concrete ways non-Black economists could emulate #BlackLivesMatter in the field following #GeorgeFlloyd's untimely death. Thank you again to @dianeharris! https://www.newsweek.com/economists-silence-racism-100-years-making-opinion-1509790

If you've listened to @Marketplace @kairyssdal recently, you might have heard about #BlackWomenBest, coined by @janellecj, which says an economy that centers Black women benefits everyone. I also wrote about it for @TFDiet. Thanks @thewildwong for editing! https://thefinancialdiet.com/black-women-best-economics-has-a-diversity-problem-and-heres-how-it-affects-everyone/
First piece of the year was for @EconomicPolicy that was inspired by the lack of Black voices being cited by the media despite clear racial disparities in "economic recovery" efforts and health disparities as noted by @uche_blackstock @Theresa_Chapple. https://www.epi.org/blog/do-black-economists-matter-the-media-erasure-of-black-economic-voices-hurts-the-hardest-hit-communities-by-the-pandemic-and-society-at-large/
Some of you may be wondering why it may seem like every month I have something new to say. Honestly, since I was young, the way I process the world is through writing.
For me, writing has been one way to think through this difficult year and help others through it too.
