If you’re in L.A., I’d love to be in community w you at Reparations Club on June 26. Join my WSSU classmate/fellow journalist Tim Pulliam as we build conversation around my debut book, The Price of Exclusion. Tickets are available here (full tour will drop soon!): www.eventbrite.com/e/book-event...
So imagine being Black for all of America's history.
A “searing debut…” I am humbled by and grateful for this Publishers Weekly review of The Price of Exclusion. It’s one of the first media or trade reviews of my forthcoming book. You can read it and pre-order here: www.publishersweekly.com/9780063288126 @publisherswkly.bsky.social
The journalism is good. Strikes aren’t about the product. They’re about ensuring those good journalists who produce it have sustainable and fair working conditions. That way you can keep getting the work from the good guys.
Thank you! DM me and tell me where you saw it!
Standing in solidarity with my former colleagues today:
🙏🏾✨

The President is insane, and has been for a long time. You should think about having your own head examined if you’ve ever chosen to normalize any of this.
A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210.
$210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

Just reposting one of my old newsletters in honor of Sinners to remind us that Misty Copeland has always been a Real Black One. Ballerina en Noir: open.substack.com/pub/nicolefc...
Here’s the thing with Target: A lot of us started the boycott before it became “official.” Then, we learned we could ABSOLUTELY live without it. Then, we learned how much money we’d saved. So, no. It’s unlikely coming to an end.
In 2024, I investigated a powerful film studio/real estate executive and his racist, antisemitic communications.
He exchanged messages about the stench of Black people.
Now he’s running for Congress in Georgia to support Trump. I wrote about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nicolefc...
Listen.
This is the guy I reported on in ‘24 for ProPublica + AJC. We had a bunch of his racist, anti-Semitic text exchanges w his ex-gf. They text about how Black ppl smell…He didn’t respond to the story until The Hollywood Reporter picked it up: bit.ly/4cstvq6 + Apology/reax, No paywall: bit.ly/4b67Oty
Spent the weekend reeling over war, preserving Black history on the final leg of our four-city film festival tour with our children in tow, and committing to our ancestors’ exercise of call and response at the ASALH Black History centennial celebration in Washington. What a time to be alive.
I think they’re closer to Lucifer than Jesus Christ, Brother.
Don’t take the rhetoric for face value.
Rip off the masks.
Stop trying to make this make sense.
It never did.
It never will.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?

‘Preserving the Black press to democratize America’
Our short doc, Through the Years, screened in D.C.’s Lincoln Theatre last night. It joined thirteen other films that document the Diaspora’s rich history. Thank you to film lovers who showed up, and the sisters who always show out. Hope I did you one good. 💕💚 Next Stops:Oakland, Miami and Atlanta. ✊🏾
i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.
