If you have ADHD, time-blindness is as intentional as colorblindness.
Social media creators are helping women and people of color identify possible symptoms of A.D.H.D., a disorder most often diagnosed in white boys.
Battling stigma is nothing new in the ADHD community. In Black and other marginalized communities, it abounds—outside and, even worse, inside Black families. But reducing stigma in BIPOC communities is not all on us.
ADHD and depression are commonly coexisting conditions with some overlapping symptoms. The link between the two is complex.
Today’s climate activists are driven by environmental worries that are increasingly more urgent, and which feel more personal.
Knowing how environmental issues affect different groups of marginalized people in unique and often overlapping ways can help us build a more sustainable and equitable world.
Yes, we must radically transform policing in America. But we cannot stop there. We must transform the pervasive systems of economic and carceral injustice that are choking our common life.
