My latest for @TeenVogue explores the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.
— Kim Kelly (@GrimKim) March 3, 2025
Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it was tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars pic.twitter.com/1xPPtwJx2P
The removal of the BLM mural near the White House is more than just paint being stripped from the street—it’s a symbol of how quickly some want to erase the fight for justice and all our progress thus far. But the movement isn’t about words on pavement—it lives in the people. ✊🏿 pic.twitter.com/TMvrRf449i

Study the Reconstruction Era. Then, you will know precisely how white backlash operates in America. Any racial progress or even too much noise about potential progress will be followed by White people using the law and violence to suppress racial progress.
