We need to invest in Black news, Black media, and Black institutions that people already trust and engage with. The demand is there. If we want healthy information systems, we have to fund them. Not someday. Now.

This from @sineadbovell is worth paying attention to. As AI gets pulled closer to state power, surveillance, and national security, the real question is not just what the tech can do. It is who it serves, who it protects, and who it puts at risk. #AI
Before you share it, pause. Esosa’s message in this episode of Information Power Lab is simple: check multiple sources, follow trusted Black news, and talk openly about what’s real and what’s not. Better information habits = stronger communities. #OnyxImpact #BlackMedia
At Essence Fest, Esosa said it clearly: Disinformation works because repetition feels like truth. The more people hear a claim, the more believable it becomes. The more they see it, the more they think everyone else believes it too. That’s the power of hyper-amplification.
🤣 Why did the Black dad bring a ladder to the BBQ? Kam and Esosa are back on Kicks & Clickbait — cracking jokes, dropping gems, and still finding a way to talk about algorithms and culture like only they can. Episode 4 Drops NEXT WEEK on YouTube!
Three-Fifths wasn’t a glitch. In fact, it feels eerily relevant today. It was the blueprint: Use Black bodies to gain power but deny Black people the power to use it. It feels like we're still seeing the ripple effects today.
Ok it's time to settle this. Who really takes the Jollof crown? 🇳🇬 Nigerian Jollof? 🇬🇭 Or Ghanaian Jollof? No matter where you land, one thing’s clear: West Africa stays undefeated. Drop your flag in the comments or confess if you love them both.
👀 ICYMI: TRUTH OR TRAP with Don Lemon? Our very own Kam Middlebrooks connected with Don Lemon for a rapid-fire drop of history, culture, and real talk — from HBCUs shaping STEM to the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott.
3.4 BILLION dollars in programs that protect Black communities have been frozen. Cancer research. Sickle cell research. Black businesses. Black entrepreneurs. All erased. Quietly. They can delete the data. They can’t delete the truth. Read the Blackout Report.
Trust in media may be down. But Black people still trust Black media. The real challenge is making sure trusted Black publications are visible in the digital spaces where people actually get information now. Black media has carried our truth for almost two centuries.
Black history IS American history. As we approach America's 250th anniversary, it’s worth asking: whose stories are being told vs. being erased? Disinformation and propaganda have tried to minimize Black contributions, treating us like outsiders in a place we helped build.

I highlighted the need for access to banking services in areas like Caversham and Emmer Green that have seen all the local branches close in recent years, and how this particularly affects older and vulnerable residents. I am calling for a Banking Hub in our community.
