How we understand the world
shapes how we can change it.
I’m a writer, activist, and social scientist. My work focuses on power, racial capitalism, and technological change.
My work brings together theory and practice to better understand how power operates — and how it can be transformed.
For two decades that has meant moving between worlds: organizing national campaigns around debt and reparations, teaching sociology in the classroom, and bringing analysis to a wider public through writing and media. Across all of it, my focus has stayed the same — making complex systems legible, politicized, and actionable.
My background in philosophy, media studies, and sociology shapes how I read power, racial capitalism, and technological change: not as fixed forces, but as things we build — and can rebuild — together.
How do we collectively shape the world, and build systems that allow us to live and thrive together?
Across every chapter — activism, teaching, media, and scholarship — my work rests on a simple belief:
Lasting change requires both justice and care, and a transformation of how we connect and create value together.
