I’m excited to announce my forthcoming book, BLACK OUT LOUD! I wrote the book I’ve always wanted to read -- about the golden age of ’90s Black sitcoms, how that moment came to be, and the long history of Black comedy as a force that reshaped culture. Available for pre-order

George Floyd didn’t die in Antifa custody. He died in police custody. Trump has said nothing about reforming aggressive policing tactics.
