PUBLIC WITNESS | Speaking & Writing
Keynotes, workshops, articles, and essays that name what others euphemize: Schools function as plantations—sites organized by anti-Blackness where Black bodies are managed, measured, and made useful. In these spaces, we've been sold the myth of Black excellence: achieve enough and you'll be free. But we've witnessed the truth: it doesn't work. Black children don't need better achievement scores; they need liberation. And anti-Blackness isn't a problem we can fix with better policies—it's the design, not the malfunction.
Sample topics: "We Know Black Excellence Ain't Neva Freed Nobody" | "Seeing the Plantation Structure of Schooling" | "For Black Women Leaders: When Excellence Is the Trap"
Investment: $2,000-$10,000 (keynotes) | $3,000-$15,000 (workshops)
Final pricing is based on group size and organizational budget. Rates are adjusted using a solidarity economy model—well-resourced organizations pay full rates to subsidize access for smaller groups and grassroots organizations. This ensures accessibility while honoring the value of the work.
