You can't disconnect the success of Sinners from the fact that we are in a Black Southern art renaissance. Writers, music artists, painters, photographers, and more are sounding the South and showing that our stories have international appeal.

Melo has a pitch that could save Mid-Major schools in the new NIL/transfer portal era 🤯
Thrilled to announce the arrival of this article w/my scholar-brother @CoreyMiles__! Here, we contend with sociology’s inattention to the wake, its ethnographic obsession with observing/recording, and how that obfuscates the representation of black life. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…
