Racial inequality in education remains a crisis — schools with more students of color often get millions less in funding, limiting futures before they even begin. A few states are making progress, but justice shouldn’t depend on your zip code. https://t.co/Npg4ULo7L9

17-year-old Elijah Green was brutally beaten by a mob at a Palmdale concert as they hurled racial slurs — and no one has been arrested. This vicious hate crime was caught on video. We stand with Elijah’s family in demanding accountability.

My latest for @TeenVogue explores the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. 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.

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.
