"A New York City police officer is recovering from a gunshot wound early Tuesday morning, while officials say a 16 year old carrying a 32 caliber gun is in custody. NYPD chief of detectives James Essex says, two uniformed officers were in an unmarked car in The Bronx when the shooting happened. That said, no one gang location at hats problems in the past. Police commissioner Keisha picks it up from there. While attempting to engage two males on a corner, one officer was shot in the arm, narrowly missing his vital structures. The officers returned fire, police say there were more shots from others nearby not directed toward the cops, mayor Eric Adams. To meet young people, have too many guns in their hands. He says there must be a pathway to stop that and ensure guns are off the streets. Julie Walker, New York

"Here's Stacey Abrams again with the soft bigotry of low expectations, basically black men can't figure out what information and misinformation is. She's already laying down the racist 6 uses check this out. I do not believe it's because of a deep wealth enthusiasm for my opponent. We know that black voters are often discounted and unfortunately this year black men have been a very targeted population for misinformation, not misinformation about what they want, but about why they want what they deserve. And my campaign has been the only one that has very intentionally thoughtfully and consistently reached out. That has been misconstrued as concern when indeed it's just respect. Oh my God, should we go again? That black men are somehow incapable of processing information online. Anything they're told from a conservative is misinformation. Keysha land's bottoms. The Biden adviser, former mayor herself, Keisha Lance bottoms said this same thing. Wait, Jim, can you play that? We got time. Caught 5. Here's Keisha Lance bottoms saying the exact same thing on a weekend show. That it's definitely misinformation. This is a dog whistle for censorship. You understand that, right? Check this out. If the policies are so good, why is communicating them such a problem? Well, it's been a very difficult couple of years. We have been in the midst of a pandemic. There's been a lot of misinformation flooding the airwaves. We see it in ways not just on television, but we're seeing that through YouTube, we're seeing it on other social media platforms. So it is more difficult to get the message out. Ladies and gentlemen, do you understand you will never make these lunatics happy? Nobody sensors information. And is engaged in anti free speech activism more than YouTube. No one, believe me, I have my own bad quit YouTube. I literally left the video called why I'm leaving YouTube and went to rumble because I couldn't take their BS anymore. I had that lady coco. What was her name? Cocoa pinelli with her greatest hits. Yeah, reach out to me like, hey man, really sorry, but I was like, nah, no, thanks, you guys are out. Like, I'm canceling you idiots, you know? YouTube. You understand like, this is what YouTube does. A sensor conservative. Keyshawn's bottoms, you think instead of being grateful to YouTube for censoring people, kisho man's bottoms Biden adviser is angry. She wants more censorship. Now, why am I telling you this? We got Adam lax all coming up and I still got another hour loaded material to tell you here. Because folks, I think Tuesday is going to be a very bad day for them. The Democrats. Is it going to be a historically bad day? I don't know. I don't want to get out ahead of my skis and predictions are useless because tomorrow you got to get out and vote and I don't want to disincentivize you from voting

Elon Musk to Fire Half of Twitter Workforce
"Elon Musk said he's going to fire half of Twitter. Half of the tour to workforce. And it says, even for a guy like Elon Musk $44 billion is quite a chunk of money to spin on anything, even the worst, even the most valuable and influence with social media platform in the world. As in business in the business world, cost cutting measures are typically deployed upon acquiring a new business. According to the bombshell Bloomberg report Wednesday night, it appears that the first money saving cut could come Friday in a way of firing roughly half of Twitter's entire workforce. That would be about 3700 people, according to the reports Musk also said to require a majority of whichever workers are left standing to actually come to work at the office. And we did as we did back in the good old days. I don't think it's a problem with this. Listen, this is capitalism. It's capitalism. You know, hey, look, man, ain't nobody, it's not a charity. This is a for profit publicly traded company. And if you're finances, your income that's coming in isn't matching your output, then you're going to have to cut some people. And to be honest, I really like the cuts because I bet 3700 of these foods are liberal tro heads. They do nothing but shadow ban and are activists on the dime of Twitter. And so I think it's a good job. You know, obviously they must be clearly wasteful for him to even evaluate, getting rid of 3700 people. They're probably completely wasteful.

There ain't no time to be a feeling sorry for him. There ain't no time to want to pray for him. We already prayed and God I already answered. We're winning, and we need to finish the deal. I really do believe there's gonna be the biggest conservative victory, and it's gonna revive America again, because I think 2020 took the sale out of a lot of people, you know, took the win out of a lot of people's sales, man. I ain't gonna lie, I was even feeling some type of way. I was like, oh my God, can I ever trust another election? And people that are saying there's no election fraud. I mean, come on, bro come on, bro even at the fake January 6th hearings and all this sort of stuff. There is election fraud. They just said that it wasn't enough to overturn an election. They admit that it was fraud. But it wasn't enough to overturn election. I don't know if that's factor or an opinion. But you can not tell me after watching 2000 mules that you think that that's totally normal that people are dropping mail in a mailbox with gloves on. And then it's not like they had a winter gloves. And they're dropping ballast off his cold outside. One of the videos I saw the lady was in a short sleeved shirt with gloves on. And then once she dropped the balance off, she took the gloves off and threw him in the trash. What reason would you need to have gloves on? To drop off ballots.

Sunny Hostin Compares Republican Women to Cockroaches
"Now you talk about racism in America. And you talk about this utter disrespect. Sunny hostin should not be on the view. She shouldn't be on the view. People should be outraged at what she said. She literally compared suburban women to roaches. I don't believe me. Wrote a clip, clip three. I read a poll just yesterday that white Republican suburban women are now going to vote Republican. Why? It's almost like roach's voting for raid, right? I think that's unfair. Their own self. Gilead. Okay. So do we love it in the hands? Do we love democracy or not? Because just saying that it's insulting to the voter, people make a decision on what's right for their family. And the idea that you should have a safe. And that woman is nuts too, that's on a view, but sunny hosting, she literally, and I know this superfluous to say this, right? I don't know if she really think that white suburban women are roaches. But look at the analogy she gave. She said, they're like roaches. Who are voting for raid? Now think about this for a minute. What do you need ready for? You need ready to get the roaches out of your house. Why? Because they don't belong in your house. There are nuisance to start with. Because I don't know if she wasn't thinking of that through or she really think that the Sabrina white women are roaches. And that they're voting for raid that's going to clean them out of a place that they don't belong as if they're dirty, nasty, you know, bottom feeding creatures.

I mean, I don't know if it's disappointing. She's a coward. Liz Cheney is a coward. She is a bitter coward. Because she didn't get away, she turned on her homeboys. That's how I look at it. Because you didn't get your way, and because people don't buy into your BS, people are over you. They like Trump more than they like you. It's mega country.

I'm not sure if I had ever spoken to her actually. But since I have been on the committee and I say this, everyone knows she is a liberal from San Francisco. I'm a conservative from Wyoming, there are many, many issues, maybe most issues on which we disagree. But I think that she is a tremendous leader. I've watched her up close. I think she's a tremendous leader. You know, you know how stupid you're not stupid this sound. And I don't like these words stupid, but my God, I don't know what other way to describe this woman. You bitter, I want to say a cuss word, but I can't 'cause I'm a Christian. I'm trying to live right. I can't believe I just, it just frustrates me of the cowardice of people like her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a passion is within me because I believe that God has called me to do something spectacular. And I'm not the only one. Every single person that's under the sound of my voice God is called you to do something and this season. This is our time. I tell everybody that's listening. You should have a smile on your face. This should be the greatest time of your life. Because we are in a pivotal point in the United States of America where we can make a difference. We can go out and vote and change the trajectory of this country forever. We can put in a place conservative values on a level in which we've never seen before. Conservatives running New York, conservatives running Florida, conservative run of Texas, Arizona, California. We have the ability to do that. But we got to go out and hit it hard. I know a lot of people are probably thinking, oh, it's just me. I remember I used to think, well, why do I need to vote? It's just one vote. Well, if a million people think like you, that's a million votes. And in the case of winning or losing, it can be the difference of 5000 votes. If 5000 people have a 320,000 people decide, I'm just one vote. You are going to screw yourself.

Keisha Lance Bottoms: MAGA Republicans Are a Danger to America
"Here's a Biden adviser. Keisha Lance bottoms. I forget she's an Orlando? Is she from Florida? Atlanta. That's right. She's the mayor. Was she the mayor of Atlanta? I mean, she's described as a Biden, former mayor of Atlanta. Mayor of Atlanta, she's on NBC, MSNBC's Sunday show with host Jonathan capehart. Listen to this. Well, I think it will be important for all of us who care about the United States of America to call out what we see. And what we see again with this mega Republican agenda is an effort to disrupt our democracy. So whether it be through November and beyond November, I think it will always be important to call out any effort there is to destroy essentially destroy the United States of America. President Biden has been very clear. He wants to work in a bipartisan effort. He has worked in a bipartisan effort. He's been able to get things done on behalf of our country. But when you have a maga Republican agenda that has no respect for the constitution that has no respect for free and fair elections, then it is important to all of us, not just the president, not just me for all of us to call it out for what it is. It is a danger to our democracy. It is a danger to our way of life.

I'm Michael kassner. This is Bloomberg best on Bloomberg radio. You're listening to a special edition of Bloomberg best, featuring highlights from the Bloomberg equality summit. I'm renita young. We conclude this hour with a wide ranging conversation with former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance bottoms. She addresses voting rights, the midterm elections, and her political future. She speaks with Bloomberg's Jacqueline Simmons. So mayor bottoms, the world watched you lead the city of Atlanta through COVID through social unrest and protest, some heart wrenching violence and economic turmoil. And you officially stepped down as a 60th mayor of Atlanta in January. Post term, how are you focusing your time? So I am figuring it out. I was at my desk in my home one day until about 9 30 at night. And I was telling my mother how tired I was. She said, well, what are you doing? I said, that's a good question. So I've had a couple of resets. They're only 24 hours in a day. And just getting back to normal, I'm speaking, I am doing commentating and all sorts of things, including taking my kids to basketball practice and carpool every day. And you were on a short but very esteemed list to become vice president in 2020. Does The White House remain a goal for you? Each time I have the honor of going to The White House, I feel like I'm going into Disney World. When you are in politics, it of course don't get any better than that. And it is such a magical place. And so I've been there a couple of times over the past month. I was just there last week and I still have to pinch myself. So never say never. Right now I'm working on carpool and we'll see what the future holds. That sounds like a goal. I'm just gonna call it, but okay. Beyond The White House and just one more question about aspirations. Because I never heard you say a rule returned to political life out. Under which context would return to the political scene. I never thought I would run for mayor of Atlanta. It took a very long time for me to get comfortable with the idea of running for mayor. But just as certain as I was that I should run for mayor, I was just in certain that it was time to exit. And put a period at the end of that season. And during my press conference, when I announced that I was not running, I said voters get to decide every four years and so do I. And it is time to pass the baton on to someone else. So that's a very long way of saying. I don't know, but I will know when I know. Okay, so let's put a little bit of into elections. Nationwide and in your state of Georgia, there's a lot of elections coming up. You've got four key posts in the state of Georgia, Secretary of State, house, Senate, governor, we're going to talk about governor in a second. But I know you've said that you hope voters turn out. How concerned are you that people won't turn out, especially after the big voting rights legislative loss in January? I'm very concerned. And for many reasons, and I say my best polling source goes between my mother and my college student, my oldest son. And when I look at my son, I look at someone who's not very satisfied, not mature enough to understand that there is a process, and that it doesn't happen with just one election, although he very much wants instant results. And I think that's reflective of a lot of people in America right now, but just as I'm constantly drilling into him every single election counts. You just can't go and vote for president and then not come back. You've got to vote in local elections. State elections, federal elections. But it concerns me. And then on top of that, we have had massive voters suppression laws put into place in Georgia. A drop boxes have been restricted. The time, the length of time that people can go and vote early voting has been limited and you can't even pass out water. In line. In June, in Georgia. So I know that there's a lot of frustration and then on top of that, we're still recovering as a country. So you have people going, well, what was that all about? Because I don't feel like my life is any better. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I know that's the sentiment. And so we've got to keep reminding people that it matters. And I posted something on Instagram saying that if you don't think elections matter, take a look at a confirmation hearing. This is what happens when you have the opportunity to show up and vote. Historic things can't happen, but again, that's a process. So what do you tell not just your Z 18 year old, your son? 19 years old. Almost 20. Okay, you're almost 20 year old son. And other voters in his age bracket. What do you tell them when they're on the fence or they're frustrated because it's not moving fast enough? Well, my son, you better go vote. And I'm going to 3 o'clock and you better meet me there. That's what I tell him. But my more polite way, is that and I think of the words of audre Lorde, revolution is not a one time event. And especially in Atlanta, we have such a deep and abiding connection to the civil rights movement, led by young people, reminding them that there were students from the Atlanta university center, that literally change the world. And that the power is still within their hands. And if they don't like what's happening, then go vote and change it. But how does the, just widening the lens a little bit? How does the DNC and the Biden administration come back from a ledger slate of collapse that happened in January in a way that fires up the base? In a way that fires up the base in a way that the Republicans have fired up the base. Well, you know, when you take polls, it's a snapshot in time. So polls can swing from this way. They can swing that way. And I'm a living testament to that when I ran for mayor. Just a week before the election, I was 6 points down in the polls. And I ended up winning by a very slim margin. And I say that to say, I know a lot of people are looking at polls and looking at where President Biden may be in the polls and believe that that's going to be reflective in the midterms, but I don't receive that And what I know is that the DNC is continuing to do the work, continuing to invest money in communities towards countering the voter suppression efforts towards registering

academy securities So be the what do you think is going to be the big difference between 2022 and the year before now in terms of your market strategy At least for the start of the year I think we're going to see a bit of a pullback from some of the fomo type or Tina Tate name so the stocks that really benefited heavily from all the Central Bank support And I think you're going to see a little bit of a shift or a rotation to call it simpler stocks Easier to understand stocks dividend stocks So a lot of the laggard so I think we're going to see a little bit of a catch up in this first quarter where some of the high flyers may be struggle and some of those that have been left behind can do well And to me that also includes emerging markets I think can do well They've been left behind on this And I think there's a lot of opportunity ex China which I'm very nervous on Emerging markets I'm kind of excited about here Yeah it's a big question for people in markets about whether or not the U.S. can continue to outperform or whether it's worth making a bet on emerging markets Of course it doesn't have to be either or it seems like you're saying look for stocks in a certain area all around the globe not just in this market or that Yeah I think that's right I think last year obviously markets as a whole did very well regardless of where you were though the U.S. outperformed But within that there were plenty of opportunities for outperformance and relative value at the start of the year For example the rest of 2000 did far better than the NASDAQ that reversed for the last three quarters So that's the opportunity I'm looking for I think we start the year with cyclic close work reopening trades and simpler companies I think the valuations are easier to justify And that's what I think does well which also is why Europe and a lot of Asia ex China and emerging markets And one thing we haven't discussed in the interrelated of course and the one is that the supply chain bottlenecks that are unlikely to go away and on top of that we have inflation as well which is a part of the reasons why we well that's one of the reasons why we do have inflation is because of the supply chain constraints Yes I'm a big believer that we are going to see three to 4% inflation for the next three to four years Part of that goes with my China theory that China is less interested in being the deflationary source for the global economy But more importantly to me as we push towards sustainability and look at ESG two things are happening One is we have to build out these alternative energy sources So there's going to be massive spending build outs of those alternative energy sources So that's going to suck up demand It's going to suck up labor That's inflationary And at the same time less than we've certainly all learned from Europe is we have to make sure that we're investing enough in our existing energy infrastructure so that we don't have problem So we're not going to see a double spend but I think we're going to see one and a half one and three quarters time the normal spend just on energy alone as we build that sustainability And then I think as people dig into supply chains a little bit more with an ESG lens they're going to really take a closer look What are they getting Are those companies treating their workers in a way they're comfortable with Are the products polluting in a way they should or shouldn't So I think all those become inflationary and people are going to readjust their supply chains around where they have more control more comfort that they know what they're getting and how it's being made And I just don't see how that's not inflationary having said that I think it's ultimately going to be good right I'm a big believer that inflation coupled with real growth job creation wage group that's going to turn out to be what really makes this economy take off So you're thinking between three and 4% on inflation for a couple of years that would seem high to a lot of people But then it's made a lot more easy or easier I suppose if growth is strong and earnings are strong Are you projecting that growth will not slow down that much next year that it will power ahead and also that earnings will be good Yes I think we might see a little hiccup in the first quarter as some consumption was pulled forward Now we have almost gone which is definitely disrupting things a little bit but ultimately I think we're going to see strong growth strong job gains wage gains and that's going to be both domestically within the U.S. but I think across the globe I do believe a lot of the emerging markets will be beneficiaries as the U.S. really tries to build sustainable energy sources There's going to be a lot of new industries created as well to me that are help on carbon offset or reduce the need for carbon offset So there's a lot of opportunity for growth job creation.

"Authentic story that I possibly can and the only way to do that is really to trust others too. I think point out inconsistencies or challenge me at times in the process of writing. So it is difficult. I do feel a lot of pressure. In fact, I felt it with a hammer book. Really felt it because, you know, hammer has a daughter who's still with us. You know, she has a lot of families who are very who remain very active in movement and who are very much aware of what is being written about her. In fact, as soon as I wrote an op-ed about hammer in the new Time Magazine, they reached out to me. You know, they were on top of everything. They were very clear about what I was doing. And so I knew that I needed to answer not only to a broader community, but I worried about what they might think about the book. And I only shared the book with after it was complete for various reasons which we could talk about. But as a professional story, I did not want the narrative to be tainted. I certainly wanted to be accurate, but I didn't want to have someone necessarily tell me what I should include or not include. And so I was careful to only share it at the end. And I'm grateful that I'm finally receiving feedback and hearing that folks do enjoy the book and actually said they love the book so that means so much to me. Yeah, that's such a fascinating sort of position to be in. And when you share hamer just for our listeners, you're referencing Fannie Lou hamer. Who is the kind of the ostensible subject of your new book until I'm free, but really I feel like her story, the moments that stops along the way and her story also, they tell the story of what's happening in modern society. And so many powerful ways. Also. And she was this very real, very powerful, very front and center. Woman, and I have to imagine, yeah, when you have her immediate descendants, you know, who care about her legacy and the work that she's done the foundation she's late and you're writing, you know, that's got to just add this whole different layer to it. It is really interesting though that you said you didn't want to show anything until you're part of the process was done. Yes. And it sounds like because you were concerned that their feedback might influence the direction of it and maybe like you had a vision of where you felt it needed to go. Exactly. And so the way that I approached it was having conversations and so back to the oral histories, asking people questions, listening to what they have to say about their memories, a family gamer and being mindful of all of what they have to say as I was writing the manuscript. But not allowing myself to give everything that I had written and then waiting for some sort of approval because it's a difficult process. And I understand that some people may approach differently. But I think as a professional historian, part of what I have to do is always be able to present to the reader acrid information based on the evidence that I'm able to uncover. So even when someone tells me something, it's useful, but I have to then go through the process of researching to make sure that what they're telling me is accurate. Sometimes you can actually find the digital evidence that you do have to just trust with a person to send to you. And you can cite that conversation. But I worry about those moments. When someone tells me, you know, something happened in 1963 and there were 14 people there. I try to find some record from 1963 that gives me a sense of who was actually there to verify that it was actually 14 people, or maybe it was 400 people. You know, when you deal with individuals who are recalling incidents that have taken place, maybe ten, 20, 30, 40 years ago, you know, a lot of misinformation happens. It's not intentionally, but people don't remember. So I wanted to make sure that in writing the book that I didn't place myself in a position where I thought, okay, I can't talk about these aspects of hamer's life, and I know that can be verified because I have the documents. I have hammers on words, letters, written by her, that I can verify that's hers. I'm able to say that this is what she thought about this particular concern. I don't want. I didn't want to be in a situation where I could have someone say to me, oh, don't include that. We don't want you to talk about hey we're feeling depressed. You know, because that can happen. When you are involving, I think relatives in the process. So I'm grateful that, in the end, it came together, but it was definitely one of my favorite risky approach. But I think he was an important approach given the craft in particular. As we started, I needed to be mindful of accuracy above all else. Yeah, that makes so much sense to me. And also, it sounds like it makes it so much more difficult to do. But at the same time when you're done with it, you know, there's a different feeling. It's interesting also in the context of the work that at least I'm aware of that you've been doing for the last 5 years or so especially like when you also look at 400 souls which you co edit with even rents can be where you effectively it was such an interesting book, because it felt like from the outside, and this was in no small part of saying, okay, who's written the history up until this point? Who has been in control of the narrative, especially of African Americans and black people in America, right? Generally, white men. So this was a really fascinating. It felt like what you were really looking to do was say, let's take control of the narrative. Like let's tell the story of history, but also let's do it from a stunningly diverse point. This is like the black community is not a homogeneous.

"Hemorrhage message was always to tell it like it is. It's about shedding light on the problems because only then you can take the steps to bring about change. That's necessary. And so I think in a similar way, reading her story will get us to acknowledge what remains unchanged and hopefully empower us and hopefully encourage us to be part of that site. So with the rigor of a world class researcher and the intention of someone who cares deeply about the human condition and understanding how we all got to this moment in history. Doctor Keisha and Blaine is an award winning historian of the 20th century United States with specializations in African American history, the modern African Diaspora, and women's and gender studies. She's an associate Professor of history at the university of Pittsburgh, and the president of the African American intellectual history society. And she's also the author of the multi prize winning book, set the world on fire, black nationalist women, and the global struggle for freedom. And the co editor of the Charleston syllabus, readings on race, racism and racial violence, which was shared after the horrific events in Charleston. Her number one New York Times Best Seller 400 souls a community history of African America 1619 to 2019 edited with Abram X kendi drew together this incredible collection of voices with a vision to reclaim the historical narrative and her new book until I am free, Fannie Lou hamer's enduring message to America. It's a powerful look, not just at the role of civil and voting rights activist hamer and other black women in social and political change. It's also this invitation for us all to explore our own individual roles. And the path to equality and freedom, led by hamer's famous rallying cry. Nobody's free, until everybody's free. So excited to share this conversation with you. And a quick note before we dive in. So at the end of every episode, I don't know if you've ever heard this, but we actually recommend a similar episode, so if you love this episode at.

How Virginia Became Ground Zero in the American Culture War
"Virginia, which is now being called a blue state, how long is it going to be blue? Or is it going to stay that way? Again, the counties around Washington, D.C. are reliably blue for a variety of different reasons. The first reason of course is its proximity to the power center to the kingdom of Washington, D.C.. The second is the amount of universities that are in Northern Virginia, which is extraordinary. If you look at the amount of universities in D.C. and Virginia, the third of which is, of course, the fact that a lot of first generation low wage worker immigrants move to Northern Virginia to be able to make the life of luxury possible for so many people that live in Northern Virginia. And many, many of the refugee resettlement programs and the immigration, the mass immigration programs come to Northern Virginia, which has resulted in a totally different political type atmosphere to win an election in Virginia. And so Virginia Democrats have been able to win, reliably by running up the score Northern Virginia, being able to win in Richmond and win on the Virginia coast. The rest of Virginia is very conservative, by the way. Lynchburg is very conservative, Blacksburg isn't because of Virginia tech, but Virginia, Virginia used to be a very conservative state. Charlottesville is obviously not very conservative because the University of Virginia, Blacksburg is Virginia tech, Charlottesville is University of Virginia Lynchburg's Liberty University which is actually a pretty conservative area. Richmond is a very, very Democrat area, and so Virginia seemed dead on arrival for years. There have been great candidates before, running for governor as Republicans, and they always get disappointed. And right, of course, the current governor of Virginia's give and a Ralph northam of Virginia and he won against a pretty good candidate who was the Republican canon in 2017. I can't remember Virginia's goofy. Virginia has elections in off years for their statewide elected officials. So 2017, 2021, 2013, they do every four years and in coming up in a couple weeks, is the Virginia governor's race. And Democrat operatives all across the country, they are going a full court press they are trying to California recall the Virginia race. They're going all in. They're raising money they're bringing in surrogates, so Terry mcauliffe, who is the corrupt Clinton surrogate and wants to be governor of Virginia, I think, again, he was governor once, right? Years ago. He says, look, yesterday I had Jill Biden here. I've had Stacey Abrams. Now, let me just say this. What constituency gets excited about having Stacey Abrams I've got Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance bottoms. Oh, I see the type. He's building a constituency on how to fraudulently steal elections. That's who he's bringing in. President Obama and, of course, Joe

"Now I was thinking about this earlier. And I wonder whether it's more intense being black and being labeled promiscuous as a woman, than it is to be. I can't compare because I am black and I've never been white, but I'm wondering, there's an edge to this quiche of the sketch story that doesn't feel like it translates perhaps to other cultures. It feels very deep rooted in black British culture to be labeled a sketch is the ultimate no no. I definitely agree with that as well. And I think that I sort of speak to that in the scene when Keisha goes into the pharmacy, and she has to get the morning after pill and it's a Jamaican alter woman who is the cancer assistant who gets her the pill. And the attitude of the counter system is really, really cold, really frosty towards Keisha. And I just think that that is quintessentially some of the difficulty that black girls have around their sexuality and sexual expression at a young age. It is almost like you mustn't, you shouldn't, you know, it's wrong. It's a wrong thing. And the woman's really judgmental and is really sort of like, almost like, you know, why are you coming in here for this? And Keisha can feel that and perceive that. And I think that that carries forward to perceptions of sexual sexual expression among women among black women specifically. Now that's one of very few adults in the case of the sketch story. Is that done on purpose? There seems to be adults missing from this story that can help support hug Keisha when she needs it. Why is that? Yeah. So definitely definitely because when I was 13 and 14, I didn't have the capacity to add the layer and the texture to the story. In the rewrite, there is definitely so there's a rewritten version within the book. I put the original and the rewrite. And in there, there is a lot more of the texture and layer added to some of the adult characters. But also I think for one quiche is 17 and 18 in the story, so there is a level of independence that you do have at those ages. But I also think that there is a level of responsibility and adultification that black girls experience too early to early. Yeah, adult thrust upon us. On black women, objectified from an early age and perhaps not allowed to show that vulnerability? No, for sure, definitely. And then I think, I mean, I class and race and gender are things that I am very interested in. And I think even from a class standpoint, I have second generation parents. And I very much see how some of their struggles meant that they were not able to necessarily be present as parents. And so all of the intersections that Keisha exists at mean that she's adultered because there is no money. There's no resource in the home for you to be parented the way that we may want you to be also because you're seen as a big woman by the time you're 17 and 18 as well. So, yeah. Yeah, that's that's adulthood. That's how you get to 17 and some households. But I think it's important to note that whilst there is some negativity whilst there are some hard hitting subjects..

"Free to express themselves sexually if they so wished. And then when you add in the racial element to that, being black, it was very tough. It was very tough not to be to be labeled as something you felt that you weren't, and have that hanging over you constantly outside of young age. So tell me about your experiences with misogyny noir. Your experience of how you understand misogynoir and how that might have affected Keisha in her story. So I really agree with you. I think that it was almost a label that you ran away from. So you were like, very stifled in like, you know, the way that you may have wanted to sexually express yourself. And with who, as well, said that's really interesting. I think initially when I was writing about key shot, I wasn't conscious of those things just yet. And I was talking about, I think I was feeling like when I was older, I would love to be desired in the way that quiche was and so I wrote this character who was that so I felt at the time in tune with herself. And so desirable and so attractive and things like that. But when I think of them as such and why I think initially, I was making sure I wanted to ensure that I wasn't ever caught up in the tangle of the label or first. And then I started to try and cultivate a self image for myself that completely took me away from that potential label. For a very long time, so yeah, have a very interesting relationship with my own internalized misogynoir. But I also can see where it came from. Very, very clearly, when I look back, retrospectively, what would you describe as misogyny? How would you explain that term to someone who wasn't aware of it? And you mentioned, you've internalized it as well. Yeah. So I would describe it as anti black misogyny, so yeah, particular opinions and feelings towards women that are anti black and when we consider the discourse around such and why it's very American. So we can look to media and look at the ways that they might report on a black artist versus a white one, but I felt like my lunch was really different because my context is completely different, not thinking about the media. I'm thinking about just being in the place that I call home and among the people that I call peers and it just looked and felt really different and you internalize it because I did care about the opinions of my peers. I did care about being on the right side of history when we looked back at our teen years. So yeah, yeah. So tell me why then you try to distance yourself. What was it specifically about this story that made you think I do not want my name, my face attached to this? As I said, I think I just did not want to even potentially entangle myself with the labels get. I was reading. So you feel like it could reflect on you as not yet. Even though you're writing about a character, it would reflect on you as an author. Yeah, I felt like how would I be able to prove that I wasn't talking about my own experiences? That wasn't speaking from experience. Yeah, I definitely went down a rabbit hole. And I was deep in that rabbit hole for a very, very long time really concerned about myself image and just trying to be on the right side of labels and perception..

"Now before you tell us more, you're going to do a live reading for us so we can get a flavor of quiche of the sketch, take it away. I quickly looked in the mirror just to check myself. How the hell can I go to see that painting looking like this? So I opened my wardrobe. It was a sunny day, so I took out some short white raw raska and a pink vest top. I got out my brand new converses. They were white unfolded down on the inside that had pink swells. I completed my outfit with a pink night wristband, and my white rosary beads. I looked in the mirror and thought to myself, oh, Ross. Then I ran downstairs and told my mom I would be going to shani 6 yards and we'll be back around 11. Big spot on my face. Literally taking me back to my teenage years. Early 2000s, where I remember coming across this story for the first time. So for those that aren't aware, who is Keisha and what exactly is a sketch? Just give us an overview of the story. Okay. So I'll start with a sketch. It's short for a Jamaican slang, which is get out. And it is, yeah, it's a promiscuous girl or woman. And Keisha, he should have was popularly coined Keisha's skirt. So I didn't call the story key to the story. It wasn't originally named there. No, it wasn't. It was popularly coined that. So it's sort of as the years went on, that's what, yeah. That was what it was called. Which is really reflective of how people viewed Keisha, which was someone with a lot of agency and who was taking the choice to be promiscuous. But the story covers her love life, I think looking back now as an adult, I would say that the story is about love. It's about coming of age. It is about somebody who sort of built a lot of bravado within their victimhood, actually. But wow, there's some really kind of deep rooted issues there that we are going to discuss in the next few minutes. But you originally wrote this in 2005, as I said, you were just 13 years old at the time and you were writing about some pretty heavy subjects, you know, sex, sexual violence, gender, horniness. You know, quite graphic detail sometimes. How did you know about these things and how did you know how to express them in written form? So I used to frequent the library..

Because the client has brought us our expertise so we have to be the expert depending on how you know if you set up a project rate or hourly rate or a day rate or whatever sometimes clients will try to like nickel and dime you to try to know. Well how long did it take you to work on. Xyz and blah blah blah. And i certainly early on in my in my freelance career. That was a mistake that i made. And then eventually. I kind of switch things overeat. It's like a project rate or a day rate or something like that. I built in like a week of time. Because there's no telling an for me it's like it's almost like creative insurance like i may need it in the future like if something happens like what if i get sick or what if i just am not feeling it and i can sort of like take that time out of the the bank sort of you know like because i built it into the project and then i can like if i take a day off and then decide to come back later and do it then that way like. I'm not impacting the project. Because i built that time in their it gives me permission to sort of not have to be a machine when it comes to like creativity. 'cause you know sometimes sometimes the ideas flow and sometimes they just don't at. I've certainly been at that place where you're at where you're like. You just have to think about the money like think about what this is going to do. And then you sort of like soldier on or you push through it but yeah that's one thing that i would do is build in the time because the good thing is if you never use it then you come out early and the finest happy and then if you do use it the client still happy because you came out on time right. That's great 'cause. I learned in the design. World will like especially when i was that media buying agency. It was in oakland office. They're only like eight of us. So sometimes i'll work on stuff. They just be standing over my shoulder. How long do you think it'll take. I like please. I think it'll take me a few hours rolling a wouldn't it will take me shorter than that but i like to add in that buffer just like you said like if something happens i can still turn it in when i said i could but also give me myself that insurance like you said to make it but in terms of the illustration products now that like those few hours turns into a couple of days or maybe an extra week like you said especially when people say have tight turnaround. Things never are as tight as people want it to be especially with getting revisions. Men just getting feedback. Especially if there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen so eight is way better to add in more time for that kind of stuff in the beginning like you said. Yeah now when you were in school when you were back at at north carolina state would say i think those maybe probably around ten years ago at this point right. Where did you see yourself career-wise by this age where you're at now. Honestly by the time i graduated. I was just like cut off this honestly because i again like when i was eighteen entering college. I thought okay calls going to give me the road map and by the time. I'm a senior. I'm going to know. Exactly what i wanna do how to get there and i'll be able to get there but i didn't happen now. Seeing i felt kinda similar to how it was as a freshman like what. What do i need to find a so. I mainly like the main goal. A had i was like. He's a police job. I'm a job and an apartment that you can pay for with your job. I had very very basic goals for myself. Have a job. There's something related to design. Yeah that was pretty much. My only goal. Like i wanted to idea of freelance sounded good but at that time i had no idea how to do it so it wasn't even it was more like a fantasy more than like me seeing myself there. I didn't go to design school but it is sort of something that i've thought about in terms of like do i need this in order to kind of have this legitimacy for myself as designer. 'cause i've been self taught and i did a little bit of work at companies like i worked for the state of georgia for a while i worked at. At and t. for awhile. And then like. I really just felt like you know what i got this. I could start my own studio and do this and really kind of do it myself. And i've learned so much really just in the time that i had my studio doing things by myself but they never really teach you entrepreneurship. I mean again. I didn't put it design school. But like even with the the work that i was doing by the time i started my studio. I had a bachelors and a masters degree and still. Didn't know anything about freelancing. I was really either making it up. As i went along i was asking other freelancers. I was really sort of gaining this education while i was also like trying to run my business. Absolutely 'cause in design school in my senior year. We had this class that the description was literally. We're going to prepare you to get a job but when we actually took the class there were like you need a website. Denote a website. Is you can make websites on squarespace. I'm like are you kidding me. My senior year and you tweeted that we need a website. Of course we do. What are you talking about. How do you get a job. Please tell me what to put on my resume and how to get the people to actually hire me even then like being designed school didn't make that different. It's almost like they're out of touch with what was happening in the world like they got the art skills but the i getting job or even be an entrepreneur. That wasn't even close to being thought about. In any of my classes. I would have had to talk to alumni. Who already doing it. And kind of like you said they were figuring it out on their own or like having outside resources to figure that out so i definitely don't think going to design school will or not going to design school. You won't really be missing. How honestly yeah. I mean by the time. I really started figuring it out. I think i was about. I don't know. I think maybe i was about two or three years into my studio and from just talking with other freelancers and picking up because sometimes you just have to. Unfortunately you just have to get burned a few times in business before you learned that lesson or whatever that particular lesson is. But i think by the time i by the time i hit my fifth year it was. I had it down pat at that point like i knew about contracts and proposals and getting things done and everything just kind of ran smoothly but it took some time to get there. So yeah i think. Now because freelancing is an option for so many people whether they do it either independently like you're doing or if they do something like working via designed marketplace such as Being forests store in vital elements are invited margaret. Whatever the thing is enviro has with all of the different websites and stuff fiber even those kinds of things work. There's ways that you can sort of use those tools to kind of manage your business better but it's still you know at the end of the day it comes down to really knowing what those fundamentals are and knowing what works best for you i think. Certainly what when. I was doing business like there's not an all purpose solution for being an entrepreneur. I wish there was but once you sort of learn what works for you in terms of cash flow and payments client communication and everything. Then you've cracked it. You've cracked the code pretty much. Learn even about graphic design because nc state does have a graphic design major but i majored in art and design a lot of the stuff. I learned about graphic design wishes. Learning by doing it ended up being the jobs ahead. More doing stuff for family friends was really the stuff that prepared me for the different jobs in. I'm learning that that's the same thing that's happening with freelances. Well like the classes That people graham artists that al. Dm or instagram. France have all those things have been really like helpful and also like you said being burnt having back clients that helps me set better boundaries for future clients like knowing what to do so yeah. That's definitely something. I'm in the process of right now. I'm definitely looking forward.

"Didn't really get back. That question. answer. I mean it's interesting because like you know you sort of mentioned earlier like will. Where is the design seen. I think every designers what a carve out their own seen based on who they are working with or working for who they are have met her inspired by la only. Once i went in the beginning of twenty twenty in february and i found that it was just like it was just so spread out. I mean atlanta's spread alba. La is way more spread out. I'm like it takes forever to get anywhere like if you're going to go somewhere it you better hope it's on your side of town and you don't have to cross over and gone out of it's so big like i was there for two weeks and i know i only saw maybe like a tenth of la like it's so big so big. I mean i guess. When i when i ask about like how design thing. I'm curious if it was different from. Maybe the design seeing that you knew back home in north carolina mentioned. It was more fast. But were there other differences the question I will say like you mentioned because everything was so separated. It was kind of like if you weren't in that neighborhood. We're not going to be. We're not gonna me often so it ends up being like pockets of communities that i would notice oh. I had a lot of animation friends because they lived in glendale and burbank and they were interested in working at cartoon network or disney tv. So i will meet those people like in burbank and glendale but even the people who are interested in moral graphic design or stationary. I talked to those people down near the beach. Because that's where a lot of agencies were it was like. I could find pockets of people in different areas but it was so rare for them all to come together just because how long it took to go places like like literally google mass will say something is maybe ten miles away. And you think i'll get there. No that's an hour trip one way. I'm just like what like this doesn't add up. But then you take the trip and i'm just like that took an hour so it's just like people aren't gonna make that even people who are natives. They weren't really going to make that trip on a regular basis so newish just like pockets of community said i have in different places. I was at like depending on where i lived and worked. That's how i ended up seeing the people. But i feel like in north carolina. Everyone in raleigh. You're in raleigh. I can get to the edge of charlie the top. It will take like twenty minutes so to me compared to being in la. That's not a big trip at all. So i feel like people are taking more initiative to meet up. And i'm sure that's because of covid as well like a meet up in groups and workshops and stuff yeah whereas it will be like a once in a lifetime thing to do. I'll take this trip one time in our for this workshop. But don't count on me to come every week And the web is going to change things to events and workshops and things. A lot of stuff has come online just over the past year. That before either didn't exist or was inaccessible because of location or something like that. Yeah adobe max. The first time i attended it was last year because it was virtual online. I lived in la. It happened there every year. But i just was not about to sit there and pay for not only but just go there and like talk design designer talk. I feel like there could be a prestige that some people might have like hulu removed lord or i integrate things together that they use all design design words. And i'm not very good at that. I'm just like pages so like being. That environment isn't something i wanna pay to do. So it was nice to be able to attend the virtual version. Because i never would have. Otherwise yes they were so many conferences in things. I've never heard about that. Got here about because it was virtual in people. I got to meet because of that which is nice to me. Yeah as i was going through your work you're sawyer illustration work portrait work which is beautiful but your patterns. The patterns on your website are absolutely gorgeous. I love that you have in your bio on your website. You mentioned that you're an artist and designer depicting joy. What does it mean for you. The depict joy in your work. Yeah so in terms of people you probably see that a lot of black people one thing that makes me happy about black culture and black people in general is just seeing us. Love the things that we love. However we love it it just makes me really happy to see like all the different facets in ways that black people just are. I get so excited and i feel like when i saw that. That's what i'm trying to convey like. Just how excited. I am to see black people as they are doing whatever. They like looking cool or goofy or as happy as they are. I feel like that comes through with the people and in terms of the patterns. I really like music. But when i hear music i tend to see like a lot of different shapes and colors just kind of moving together. That's how i how. I see the song like me. Join those abstract patterns. It's usually me listening to music and drawing whatever comes to mind so just kind of like the happiness that comes from listening to music. That energy is something. I'm trying to capture in the patterns. And i like four to fit together. Like different sounds fit together in a song. That's how it shows up in the patterns and when you're even doing these patterns also seems like you're kind of drawing from nature some too. I don't know maybe if that was just the particular collection that you are doing. But i saw a lot of kind of tropical themes and leaves and stuff like that. It's just very very stunning work. Thank you yea. The tropical thing is i just like i just love the way. Tropical tropical scenery looks. I also think it's also think is nice all differently using like patterns that you see within leaves. I think that's nice as well. But also sometimes if i draw too many triangles and circles like let me draw something that people can recognize so it ends up just being leaves leaves and flowers for some reason. I'm not even a big flower person. It just ends up coming out or just look pictures of flowers. But yeah i really. I really love tropical weather and themes and stuff. So i just ended up drawing it a lot. I've not met a nigerian. That didn't like bright colors. So you're definitely on something there. You're right you're right. How do you get your creativity. Back if you like are feeling uninspired like say you hit a block and a project somewhere. You're working on something. What do you do to kind of get that spark back so when i am inspired i have a bunch of hidden pinterest sports and then i also have a notebook where when i'm inspired. I just write down ideas of things. That will be cool to make so when i am feeling blocked or uninspired i'll look through that pinchers board one is just called black and it's just black people just random black people that i can find on pinterest used to be really hard but i saved so many pages and looked at it. That pinterest has realized this girl likes. Look he'll black people so now my homepage has that so i'll even look at that pinchas board. Just kinda seeing people do stuff or also have some with just colors or textures or shapes out to sleep through the pinterest board. Or i'll look through that list of like in like ideas that i have. I'll either do that or just take a break man. Turn thing off. Turn the computer off. Turn off watch. Tv play video game. Take a nap and then come back. And then if there's like a time crunch i'm just like well i think about it. Honestly think about the money. I'm like girl. Do you wanna get paid and like yeah..

"Let me just double check but I google everyone. And then they're linked them pages. Were like their designer. Google engineer google like oh okay. So he was serious. Immediately said yeah. I'm of a well to do this. Kidding me yeah and then probably a week or so later. I met with like a small design team at youtube. And they were just telling me about the initiative that they had and they want to work for artists celebrating black history month and wanted to make like have all the artists make art around black creativity. And like that was it there. You can make that whatever you want it to be but it just needs to be around black creativity and they gave some key. Words like forward thinking hopeful bright bike that like literally those keywords they gave so i pretty much just took that and ran with it and but also in the back of my mind. I'm like okay. Okay gisha youtube. We've gotta show gotta show out so like duly like thing so initially i was planning on doing portraits of women who in math and science from the past just to celebrate them but then they wanted something when they said four thinking. That's why they gave me the idea of having children in there like a hopeful like a whole idea instead of looking to the past wanted people to the future as well and i was one who chose math and science just because normally we can think of creativity i usually think of paintbrush like dancing and music and they also mentioned that they didn't want to hit the normal black stereotype so like a boombox and people break dance to steer away from that so i personally like math. I still even at my age. I watch pbs. Kids shows about math and science. So i figured that would be a fun. A fun thing to do a fun thing to go around. And that's in that fourth thinking idea. It was me having like women in stem showing young girls the magic in front of it. So that's where. The ideas came based on their feedback. That's how the idea came to pass. And once they approved it out just going with it like the main critique was at first i mean everyone dr skin and almost seem tone in. They're like oh can you give it some variety. Oh yeah no problem. And then they wanted me to use like. I was being very literal at first select. The sky is blue rockets gray and they were like he us like some of the colors that you use like the ones that you use and i was just like oh okay so you actually want me to put my spin on it. I was putting all these like rules adding all these rules to myself. This has to be very literal. If i'm drawing math. It needs to like math but once they said that. Then that's when. I went crazy with the colors like this guy can be pink and yellow and purple. So yeah then. I added my own spin to that. And that's pretty much how it turned out. I have to say it looks amazing and for people that haven't seen it will make sure to put a link to it in the show notes. So you can definitely check it out. I mean i get that kind of forward feeling that forward thinking kind of notion from that. It's interesting enough. I had discovered an organization. I think they've had left a comment. Or i saw it somewhere else on the web. But because your piece was sort of centered around stem. I discovered this group called black girl. Math chick like like black girl. Magic but math gic. Yeah and mean. I love to. My degree is in mathematics. So i saw that i was like that is so cute. Cute as they got ever seen. It's like a it's a program but they also sell like some merch for fundraising and stuff. I was like this is really. Don't like teaching young black girls math fundamentals and stuff pretty cool. That is so amazing that so much and this lack girl magic. It sounds like you working with youtube on this was like a really kind of collaborative process are those are the best types of clients for you to work with. Yes our say that we're with you to was definitely like ideal client. They were very responsive fall schedule. They communicate it so well and it also really nice like working with big clients. I just assumed they were going to have be very strict and we need to have it. Look a certain way. They want to work with people but they want it to look a certain way is what i expect it but working with them. I really saw. They wanted me to to show myself in there and to put my own spin when they said put your own spin on a theme of black creativity. They actually meant it. That's why i mentioned the thing with the colors like i. That was very refreshing for me. Something i really enjoy the great communication being responsive. When things were delayed they adjusted the schedule to match the delay health lying. You're amazing yeah. I really enjoy them as a client in those are things that seeing that it's possible those are things i start to look for when i'm working with people. Yeah let's go back to to freelancing just a little bit more when you have a new client or you're approaching say a new project like what does your creative process look like. Yes so usually. I try to get as much information from the client at the beginning of ospel because you know a lot of people say oh just do whatever but they actually have something in mind so i try to ask a lot of like initial questions just again an idea like do you have an idea or do you actually want me to give you my ideas. I just wanted to be clear from the very beginning before. Start doing research. I also ask like a lot of technical questions. How much do you want the resolution to be. What size time line. Because if it's a small time line then. I won't try to do this super complex thing. I'll make it simpler yet but in terms of like the creative making the thing once that's settled. I usually do a lot of research on stock websites. I like i stock photo. Just to get an idea of composition and if it's something. I'm not familiar with like i can't just think of thirty five math formulas off the top of my head. My disguise vicks like imprints in my mind. But i i need more. I like to look at stock website. It's just to see like what kinds of things are default. Their body poses by expressions. Real people look like 'cause. I want every person i draw to have the same face. But different bodies different hairstyles. That's kind of weird to me. But i like when other people do it so like to go on stock website. She's a see like if anything is giving me. Ideas is it. Inspirational is good for reference. I wanna get that. I'll start sketching out. Different ideas trying out different. Compositions just to see like does anything. Look good can i draw can drive this thing where the hands going to look like. And then usually that's when i started going back and forth with the client seeing what they think of my ideas if anything's going in the right way usually that's also the time like i'll ask. Do you have any other ideas. Once you see this like a better idea of what you're looking for kind of thing and then what's that happens. I'll either revise it or start going with color again. Make more ideas. Sin that to them. And then it's usually just back and forth giving them you know giving them the are and then getting their feedback. But as i've been working and seeing like how easily that can turn into hundred revisions. I put limits like okay. We're going to have to rounds of revisions. And if you want more this is going to cost. So yeah i say back and forth but is back and forth like twice just.

Ibram X. Kendi And Keisha N. Blain On The 400-year story Of Black people In America
"Professor planes. You've got the top box. I'm going to start with you. This is a different kind of history book right. It's a history book where some of the ninety writers aren't even historians collectively who are the writers. And why are their voices so important so we asked an array of writers to contribute to the volume. And as you point out so many of them are not professional Journalists to contribute we asked philosophers to contribute We asked creative writers to contribute as well as poets end. What we wanted to do was really grapple with four hundred years of history. And not you know. We really didn't want it to feel like a typical a history book. I and of course asking ninety historians Would have i think a taken away from the the sort of you know tone that we were trying to set which was bringing together a diverse community which met people coming to the history writing about the history from their own experiences but also from their unique trainings whether in the field of journalism are in the field of law and so it was important for us to create something new something special something original and that meant bringing in writers from a wide array of backgrounds. Professor professor blaine just talked about the fact that you have poets in the book and you write quote sometimes. History is best captured by poets out. Some more there's anything. I've learned in my time writing history. That is that it's deeply complex. Variegated story that in many ways. We have to imagine things that we don't have a speculate on on on decisions that we don't have a specific for that we have to stretch archive especially when writing on on people's particularly working class. Americans certainly working cost black folks who haven't left an archive who haven't left on speeches and and necessarily written records and so you know. Poets have the capacity to really show the depth and complexity and the imagination and creativity of humanity. And and so when we when that comes to bear on history. And i think they were really able at the end of each section to really flush out and contextualized. You know forty years. When i was in school. Professor blaine We're going way back like the nineteen seventies nineteen eighties black history The way we're talking about today just wasn't taught. Slavery was a chapter and not exactly told honestly the accomplishments of black americans were diminished if they were even acknowledged so has anything changed since the seventies in the eighty s. What needs to change. So i think some things have changed You know when you look at how history textbooks written. We're certainly at a place where the textbooks that are produced today or even in the last ten years i think are better than the ones that were a public. Maybe twenty years ago does not mean that we still don't have work to do. In fact we have a lot of work to do. Especially i think in the last two or three years. We've been talking about textbooks in places states like texas for example where they're still a debate about how you talk about the civil war and how you talk about slavery and like you. I certainly encounter textbooks. That didn't really flesh out are the nuances. You know an even the trauma of of the the experience of slavery in often times a glossed over eight or or perhaps had a little box to focus on martin luther king junior but other than that not really center a historical figures i and so a lot has changed in part of that. Change is directly tied. I think to the work of a professional historians. We've been working very hard odd to excavate the history in in in order to help people better write about the history. I in a way that reflects the richness than the complexity and diversity of the black experience but particularly in a way that centers black agency which is key that black voices appear. That black ideas appear in. These textbooks are still some work to do. But i think we're making progress. I think four hundred souls is certainly the kind of texts that would help us move forward in that direction.

Can Australia and China learn to get along?
"Tensions with china. Australia's tried stash with. China has escalated sharply with savage new tariff. Sit hit our wine industry hard from tomorrow. All australian wine will be hit with a one hundred to two hundred per cent hike. A move gross. I will devastate the industry. There was an abc news account of china hitting our wine sector of course assign deterioration of sino australian relations in the past. Gee indeed relationship between our nations have not been so dismal in more than half a century that is since before them opened ties with communist china. Mainland we give expression to new international album. No nation is on you. Aspirations symbolize law china upon our region. That was then prime minister.

However in the past year in response to cambridge calls for an inquiry into the origins of covid nineteen. The chinese government has launched an unprecedented economic retaliation against our export industries. We mentioned one. Is bali. Beef lamb cotton lobster timber call and so on. Now you might ask not unreasonably. Why can't cambridge just restore relations with china indeed. How often have you heard the critics. Say if only camera toned down its rhetoric. Restored a dialogue rebuild trust with beijing. If the government did all these things did more to accommodate china all would be well instead where told cambra native sleep provokes trade partner by implementing foreign interference laws rejecting the wildlife.

In the larger context the world has changed. We have gone from the euro than domination of world history to us. The ancient century and australia is very lucky that it is situated in the heart of issues now but australia still behaves culturally a western society in an asian dominated environment. And just to give you one simple example but you walk into an asian home. Most times you take off your shoes. That's asian culture. This not western culture the take off your shoes now with decide their fall to live and work in sight and asian home. Do you want to try and understand the issue norms or do you want to work.
