Horror films do more than entertain. They make it easier to see patterns of racism that are often minimized or dismissed in everyday conversations.
From the illusion of safety to histories that continue to shape the present, these stories highlight how harm is ignored, whose voices are believed, and how systems respond unequally.

These dynamics do not stay on screen. They show up in workplaces through credibility gaps, unequal responses to harm, and assumptions about who belongs.
Storytelling can open the door. What matters is what happens next.

This January, I was honored to receive the Samuel E. Kelly Distinguished Alumni Award on behalf of my comrades, those still incarcerated as political prisoners, and those who fell in the struggle for freedom. This event was held by the Multicultural Alumni Partnership, and it was a great pleasure to meet and speak to others who have worked to make an impact in their communities. My life as a freedom fighter began with direct action - co-founding the Seattle Chapter of the Black Panther Party, creating breakfast programs and founding a still-operational medical clinic - and continues today, mainly through inspiring young people to recognize that they too have the ability to change the world for the better in meaningful, tangible ways.

Black people aren’t “hard to reach.” The BARS Study shows what happens when Black lives, communities, and resilience are centered in research: people show up, trust builds, and the data actually tells the truth. Check out The BARS Study on their website https://sites.uw.edu/bars/ and on Instagram!

Some people claim Black History Month is a detour from “real history,” but BHM exists because real history has been incomplete. Until Black history is taught fully, honestly, and year-round, this month remains necessary. The stories we elevate shape identity, belonging, and the future we’re building.

Pronouns aren’t optional; they’re part of someone’s identity! Share yours, ask respectfully, and practice getting it right. Small actions can really make a difference. 🌈

Let us stand together and denounce the attacks on freedom and diversity and regain our sense of justice, equity and fairness for all to create greater inclusion and belonging.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the Latine/x community, their history, contributions, and resilience, while standing against racial profiling, intimidation, and injustice.
Stand up. Remember history. Protect democracy. ✊🏽

You can’t be fired for your race. Or paid less because of your gender. But those protections didn’t always exist. And they’re not guaranteed to stay. This post breaks down what protected characteristics are, the laws behind them, and why they still matter in 2025. Let’s stay informed and keep pushing for equity.

What’s one protection you think more people should know about?
