It takes a special kind of skill to run for a statewide office in Mississippi and not find yourself in any Black and Brown spaces. You must avoid entire towns, pass 32 churches at a time, and stop at no coffee shops where the veterans gather at 6 a.m. It's remarkable to watch.
And the worst of white America has been losing its ever-loving shit ever since.

@DonnerKay @TorshetaJ @soljourno Great job @TorshetaJ on writing on such an important subject to highlight the need for action! Glad to call you my friend.
Read @TorshetaJ'a new #BWCProject solutions piece to see how cause/solution journalism in your home state (and county) can and should be done. Lay it bare, then show potential solutions. She schooled me for sure. (Thanks for @soljourno support.)
As part of our ongoing series "(In)equity and Resilience: Black Women, Systemic Barriers, and Covid-19," Torsheta Jackson writes on how co-ops are stepping in to help solve rural internet gaps in Noxubee and neighboring counties. #BWCProject mississippifreepress.org/18806/co-ops-s…
This is hard to read, but it’s important. Another great job by my former coworker @TorshetaJ
