Whew! When @monique talked about this essay in her newsletter, I crept over here to read it, and it's so good! This hit my proximity to whiteness as a light-skinned Black woman real hard. Love it! Thank you for sharing!
*snaps* so well written. i found myself reading it in Jabari’s voice from Entergalactic, which only added to the humorous undertones…thank you for sharing!
That was so good! I was so into it I could have read a whole chapter of this story. The subtlety of your writing really highlights the subtlety of these heavily race-charged interactions. I saw many of my former bosses in your Doria.
wow, this was felt and written in a way that makes me want to read more. thank you for this truth!!!
I really loved your rice and beans piece and this is a great compliment that every writer wishes they’d get.

Ashley, I'm loving the Landline and all you bring to it. I hope we can collaborate more soon.
That means so much coming from you. I would love to collab!
Whew. This was so relatable. And a great read. I really enjoy your writing!
Kind of reminds me of Percival Everett! 😉
This is the highest compliment you could pay my work and so very inspiring. Thank you.
What a great read Andrew 😮💨!

I cringed at the interactions throughout this. All too familiar in the workplace as a Black person. Really enjoyed this piece!
This was delicious. I enjoyed every word.
Thank you so much, Monique. I enjoy your writing a lot and I’m glad you got to stop by here.
Thank you for saying that. This was so open and honest and relatable. I'll be back for more.
I love the honesty here.
