Tuesday in Mooseville – Speaking His Truth: William Monroe Trotter (1872-1934) 12/10/19

December 10, 2019 DoReMI 1

Tuesday in Mooseville – Cheat, Fake, Fool, and Lie 8/20/19

August 20, 2019 DoReMI 4

I wasn’t paying much attention to Twitter this past weekend, so I am grateful that Sis Dee’s Sunday post (1619. The 400th anniversary of the real founding of America.) brought the 1619 Project to my […]

Tuesday in Mooseville – The Six-Week Filibuster 6/18/19

Tuesday in Mooseville – Why White Folk Understanding the Racist Mammy Archetype Matters 5/14/19

May 14, 2019 DoReMI 7

Over the weekend, a Bill Maher-initiated hashtag on Twitter caught fire amongst too many on the Left. It was a play on a racist slur used by 45* against Sen. Warren, and far too many […]

VNV Tuesday – Speaking His Truth: James Baldwin 1/16/18

January 16, 2018 DoReMI 9

In a moment of semi-panic because I had no clue what I was going to write, I turned on the television in the hopes distraction would mitigate the writing block and lead to clear thinking. […]

VNV Tuesday: “What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.” 1/9/18

January 9, 2018 DoReMI 12

I didn’t watch the Golden Globes on Sunday, but I have watched Oprah’s speech. For me, the line that resonated the most is the sentence used as the title of this post: “What I know […]

VNV Tuesday: When We Center Whiteness, We Lose 1/2/18

January 2, 2018 DoReMI 5

The title of this post was not inspired by electoral politics directly; it was inspired by the passing of Mrs. Recy Taylor last week. As I read her story in a series of tweets by […]

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: When Much Ado About Nothing, Isn’t 6/6/17

June 6, 2017 DoReMI 16
