The new piece is live — and Ardenia did not go where your timeline went. She's not relitigating the Karmelo Anthony verdict. She's pulling back the curtain on the machine underneath it: who gets charged as an adult at 17, whose fear gets called "reasonable," and the decades of receipts showing the answer was decided long before anyone walked into that courtroom. Read it here 👉🏽 https://open.substack.com/pub/askardenia/p/he-was-a-child-texas-tried-him-as?r=4eitmy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true Then sit with me on this, because I want to hear from you: When did you first watch a Black child get treated like an adult? A classroom, a store, a doctor's office, a courtroom — wherever you saw it. And the harder one: have you ever caught yourself handing the benefit of the doubt to one kid and not another? No judgment in here — that noticing is the work. Drop it below. 👇🏾

Hello Ardenia Thank you for your webinar. Allyship is work. It requires respect, listening, and acting; and it is not a one a done thing. Thank you for being another resource for building community. I'm currently focused on two primary things in our our local community. In doing this work, I look forward to skool for sharing resources, experiences, and getting feedback. Thanks again! Have a wonderful weekend.

Hey ladies! Just checking in to see how you’re doing. How’s everyone these days? Anyone check out the Artemis II mission? I’m still riding high from that!
