Dear Adebayo, I am very moved by your kind words. I noticed that there was a lot of shadow banning going on on Medium during one of the many changes they put in place last year. I was putting a lot of time into my work and realized that my visibility was a lot less.

I started a newsletter on Substack - I don't have as many followers there but I don't feel censored there. I find it particularly painful to write about one's truth and get shadow banned because some people feel offended. My account is still active here so I may come back if I sense that true freedom of expression returns to Medium. In the meanwhile, I hope you'll keep holding down the fort here. I miss you.

I write about racism, but there are so many other things I would like to write about instead. Help me dismantle racism so that I can get to that.
