Tweet if You Feel Me: Influence and Reach on Twitter
One of the first questions that CMJ clients ask is “How do I get more followers on Twitter?” Twitter is a conversation, and measuring how effective Twitter is in achieving your goals should be rooted in its conversational nature. While the number of followers you have is the most obvious measure of your Twitter cred, it doesn’t get into the gritty of two important Twitter metrics: influence and reach.

Young Love: Youth, Race, and the Bond Between Children and Computers
Youth of color are in a manipulative, abusive relationship with the telecom industry. My take on a new report highlights why.
Why GLAAD Doesn’t Represent Me
As a Black lesbian director of a media strategy and action center, GLAAD’s recent support of the AT&T merger makes me hopping mad.
Motherhood, Media, and a 21st Century Movement
As a leader in the Black Panther Party, my mother taught me that without the voices and visions of mothers, and their leadership at multiple levels, progressive movements cannot win.
