I got lost in these memoirs. I lost hours, days. There’s a lot to gain in reading about other people’s lives. A lot to learn, a lot to chew on, a lot of little anecdotes & big insights that might help you live better, or see better. wsj.com/buyside/arts-e…
Listen, these books. These books are great. Not just on the beach. They’re great on the sofa, at the airport, on the bus, at the doctor’s office. Anywhere. Because they’re all masterful in their own way. Many thanks to @lyazel for the assignment. wsj.com/buyside/arts-e…
A brilliant actress and phenomenal artist met for the first time. They talked craft, freedom, Blackness, the meaning of success. I was there to capture it all. What a privilege. (My first byline in @tmagazine, of @nytimes. Will spend weeks on cloud nine.) nytimes.com/2021/11/29/t-m…
Dean Rashad, Is this how you're going to react when a Howard CoFA student tells you they were assaulted by another student if that student happens to be someone you like and admire? Because what you're telling Howard women rn is that you don't care if they're raped.
THIS is why women do not come forward. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Amanda's husband threatened her with a knife. He berated and humiliated her at every opportunity. Then, suddenly, she was trapped inside with him for 11 months. It was an honor to be trusted with this story about domestic violence and the pandemic. thelily.com/he-threatened-…
Stayed up through the night reading @knottyyarn’s memoir, alternately laughing, crying, flinching and feeling tremendously moved. Brava. (Btw, @knottyyarn, I knew you were a kindred spirit when I learned about your history of reading in the bathroom …) washingtonpost.com/entertainment/…
I am shocked by the CDC’s abrupt reversal of their guidelines for vaccinated people. While I agree that vaccinated can choose what they want to do, this only works if there’s a way to check vaccination status. Otherwise, what’s to stop the unvaccinated from endangering everyone?
A reminder that victory would be George Floyd being alive. Every day Black Americans worry if they will be next is another day without justice.
Thinking of George Floyd’s family. What they deserve is George being alive. I wish them as much peace as they can find.
Derek Chauvin: guilty on all 3 counts Now let’s do the entire system of policing in this country.
Now, everyone call it “the murder of George Floyd.”

I recently made the scariest professional decision of my life, stepping out on faith to follow a dream. Days later, I spoke with @iluvvit. She said she hopes her new book lends readers courage. Our conversation certainly lent me some. Thank you, Luvvie. washingtonpost.com/entertainment/…
In a sense, he was right. I AM A THREAT: a threat to injustice, to inequality, to ignorance. Anyone who speaks the truth and walks with hope is an obvious and fatal danger to the powers that be.

Happy to share this beautifully packaged series about Medicaid coverage of doula services from @thelilynews and my dedicated @MUOBrien team, interns Rachel Ryan and Sarah Lipo: washingtonpost.com/graphics/2021/…
There was already a chronic child care shortage before the pandemic. 20,000 day cares have closed since March, experts say. Tens of thousands more will close this year. What happens when parents go back to work? ... Moms stay home. thelily.com/20000-day-care…

Oh! Before I forget -- if you apply for my old job as Senior Travel Reporter, you should ask for no less than 115k, a signing bonus &a relocation bonus if you're moving to NYC. In full transparency, I was at 107k. I believe being transparent is one way to achieve equity in media.
"I'm trying to ensure I show Black women as full human beings - not stereotypes, not archetypes. We're not all strong all the time. Yes, our ancestors had to survive, but there was always joy in the midst of all that pain." - Joaquina Kalukango from @ParadiseSquare

New job news: Today's my first day as the newest member of @washingtonpost's climate & environment team. It's an honor to join such a talented group of reporters and editors as national climate change reporter.
Today is my 85th birthday! I'm thankful for every step that brought me to where I am! I've lived through MANY things and I'm thankful to GOD for guiding me along the way.
@nnekamcguire @joeybear85 You consistently have the most world-rearranging LilyLines life hacks
It’s been a hard week — it’s fine; weeks be hard sometimes — so I’m especially grateful for a show like “Only Murder in the Building.” Great all the way through and with a knockout season finale which… basically never happens.
Thrilled and humbled to be taking on a new role at @washingtonpost. Let's do this. washingtonpost.com/pr/2021/10/18/…
(something awesome just happened and I can’t tell you about it but I’m so grateful for how queer black people take care of one another oh my fucking god this is gonna be awesome fuck fuck fuck what a time to be alive)
….in which I just realized that I just spent four weeks with the titular character in this story at a residency in the woods and the description that she was “a little extra” does not even *begin* to cut it…..
@hels It is a MESS, obviously I'm biased here, but I am deeply relieved people seem to be seeing this. She pitched this piece to the NYT reporter and... I honestly don't understand why. He reported the truth and it does not make her look good.
