In the last few months I’ve received 4 speaking invites:
•One to speak on the Black American experience—I said no & referred a Black scholar
•One to speak on Iranian women—I said no & referred several Iranian women
•One to speak on Arab American students—I said no & referred an Arab woman & activist
•One to speak on my experience in Turkey providing earthquake relief, on a panel with a Turkish scholar—I said yes

But technological and upscaling challenges have repeatedly frustrated their widespread use.

Antisemitic tweets have more than doubled on Twitter since Elon Musk took over, a new study finds.
