Serves as a call to action for Black millennials as well as [white] co-conspirators who are either immersed in the work of Black liberation or have an interest in beginning their own journey toward anti-racism.

Critiques the superficial efforts of predominantly white institutions (PWIs) in higher education to address racism, arguing that although many PWIs have created divisions, teams, and administrative roles aimed at transforming problematic and racism-centered institutions, these efforts often lack real power and institutional support.

Examines how Black male educators use social media in ways that may hinder rather than support the empowerment of Black students. Encourages Black male educators to provide an intersectional-feminist lens to understand how to disrupt anti-Blackness in education and uplift Black boy and girlhood.

Addresses the lived experiences of Black people (faculty, staff, students, student-athletes) who navigate academia in majority white spaces. Highlights the emotional and psychological toll of navigating these environments, the superficiality of many diversity and inclusion efforts, and the complicity of individuals who claim allyship but fail to effect real change.
