This week’s Race + Power newsletter brings you another piece from Dax-Devlon Ross, an author and racial equity consultant who is seeing patterns of generational differences in racial equity work. The latest Tiny Spark podcast features Jocelyn Jackson, founder of the People’s Kitchen Collective and one of the artists selected for the Rainin Fellowship, a new artists’ fellowship that offers holistic support. We hope this kind of support becomes a pattern in the field.
There is also a link to a Mother Jones article on the importance of Biden’s care infrastructure plan for women, especially women of color. It is a much-needed correction to both “infrastructure” and “worker.” Another correction is actually being challenged—race correction, “diagnostic algorithms and risk predictor tools [that] adjust or ‘correct’ their results based on a person's race.” Naomi Nkinsi, a Black medical student at the University of Washington, was shocked to learn of it, and has since been leading the effort to abolish it.
