I was so happy to be able to pre-order this! Now the only issue will be if I keep it for myself or gift it to my little cousins!

So many lessons from my friend @nhannahjones, this morning.
Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported.
Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance.
And, avoid spaces if they barely tolerate you, even if they’re familiar and beloved.

Here is my full statement about my decision to decline tenure at UNC Chapel Hill and instead accept the inaugural Knight Chair in Race and Reporting at @HowardU.
"I have never asked for special treatment. I did not seek it here. All I asked was to be judged by my credentials and treated fairly and equally."
