I think about God most often in three contexts: recovery meetings, during my family’s habitual Irish Catholic grief proceedings and when BBG or Black By God is front of mind.  “Recovery is all harm reduction,” Crystal the Founder/Publisher of BBG tells me often. I firmly believe that our practice of equitable storytelling is community-centered harm reduction. I’m eternally grateful for whatever cosmic/karmic/divine intervention took place to cross our paths.

One week prior to joining the BBG team, a very close relative died in hospice. I called him Elmo-- he was a retired labor union president and constantly sang Irish pub tunes softly to himself. One month prior to joining the Black By God team, I was discharged from rehab after five long months in treatment.

BBG gives me a sense of direction, purpose and community when I had none. It gave me an outlet for the anger that consumed me since childhood when I had none. It filled me with optimism when I had none. I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity to support the artists, activists and unapologetic voices behind Black By God every day. To our incredible community and network, thank you for having me. To our founder Crystal Good, thank you for showing me that there is a place in this industry for those who refuse to sustain information inequality and enable White-centered storytelling.

When I began my journalism studies at West Virginia University, I was intimidated and conflicted by the expectation to mold my work into something palatable for, and impartial to, both sides of the American political binary.

For too long, I believed I was unfit for a career in media because of my own biases. So, I would like to take this opportunity to be transparent about what informs my work and to express my deep gratitude to those who encourage Black By God’s efforts.

Twice every weekday, it takes me seven minutes to drive down Detroit Road between my apartment and office. Cudell Recreation Center, where 12-year-old Tamir Rice was murdered in 2014, is the exact halfway point. I think of his smile every time I pass and how he would have graduated from high school in 2021. I’m proud to live and work and be a part of his community that will never forget his smile.

I started college the semester Obama left office and finished my degree the semester Trump followed suit. During my first year at Cleveland State University, I was still too young to vote, but vividly remember leaving American Government with a classmate who told me she voted for Trump because she couldn’t imagine a woman in the oval.

Jane: thank you for that electrical shock of a reminder that White people absolutely must urge one another to use some critical thought. I was too stunned to respond then but have started my career in prosocial communications to do better. By the next election, I was working with NPR contributing Gen-Z political commentary. 2024 is still TBD, but just think about what Black By God could do with

My family’s White, European and arguably illegal immigration story weighed heavily on me during the election cycle, too. My grandma Kathleen Joyce Flynn came to the U.S. from Ireland as a teenager in the 1940s— all she needed was either proof of a job or place to live, along with $500 savings secured. Rumor has it that families, neighbors and communities would combine resources, so once someone was safely overseas they would mail it back for the next person to leave home.

In 2016, I felt like I was circling the drain (for a few reasons, I’m sure), seeing just how blatantly candidates and platforms would reinforce skin color determining what level of inhumanity an immigrant is forced to endure.

My grandma died before I was born, but I’m her spitting image and took her name. I started writing under ‘Maura Flynn’ years earlier on the Daily Athenaeum’s opinion desk, where, for the first time, I felt like I had agency over the traumatic family system I grew up in. Changing my name changed who I was to myself, and who was behind my byline.

I’m not entirely sure exactly who I (Maura Kathleen) am named after-- my grandma Kathleen or her sister Mary; my mom Mary Kathleen or her sister Kathleen; or the handful of women I call Aunt Maureen. I love when Crystal tells the tale behind Black By God’s name, recounting Bricktop’s history and reinforcing how important a title is to our identity.

I don’t identify as Irish Catholic. I don’t even really identify as Irish American. Perhaps my best fit is ‘Irishmen in recovery from substance use disorders.’ I’m proud of that, though. We’re a resilient bunch. I definitely feel the spirit of Irish rebellion within me-- and I felt it the day I proudly changed my last name to Flynn in court.

I’m a proud Clevelander and Mountaineer. I wouldn’t trade those two influences for the world. West Virginia offered me a safe haven removed from the environment I was trying to heal from, and Black By God exponentially added to the role these mountains have in my heart.

I am a better person for understanding Appalachia. I am a better storyteller because of the wide array of life I’ve had the privilege to capture in interviews. And I am most

a better White ally for being taught Critical Race Theory in school.

At the end of August, her two children started third and fourth grade in Huntington, West Virginia’s Cabell County School District. That was the same time her family was evicted because lawmakers failed to renew legislative protection against displacement.

And, within the first two weeks of classes, her daughter has transitioned back to quarantined-learning after exposure to a COVID+ peer.

The Burner family’s story raises quite the question for elected leaders: how can parents be expected to provide quality homeschooling for their children while being evicted from their homes?

Doss Burner sat down with Black By God to discuss what navigating such turmoil has meant for their family— and why pushing back against the stigma and shame of eviction is critical.

“I’m proud of the people that we are and I have the audacity to say something. We’re all so much closer to losing any sense of security than we know and I truly think pushing back against the stigma that this is any bit shameful, or that it should be secretive, gives it a face to give it a little less power.”

But her faith in government infrastructure aiding families during the pandemic has plummeted, Doss Burner shared. “These representatives who say they care but don’t show up for the people impacted the most? It really shows their true colors. They don’t care about my children. They care about getting elected.”

As the time to renew stable housing policy passed in D.C., the expiration of protective eviction legislation meant displacement for families across the U.S. at the exact time children reenter school rooms, some for the very first time in 18 months, and the Delta variant surges.

Enacted on March 27, 2020, as part of the CARES Act, the moratorium was initially set to end on July 24, 2020, but was extended through January 31, 2021– and further protection continued per CDC direction through March 31 and later June 30.

That very same day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted her white flag of surrender. “In an act of pure cruelty, Republicans blocked this measure— leaving children and families out on the streets,” she posted at 10:20 p.m.

No, the pandemic hadn’t improved, and no, the need for stable housing hadn’t lessened; naturally, the best course of action was to place the responsibility of humane housing to landlords— who already routinely benefit from the inhumane hoarding of shelter for profit.

One freshman member of the House wasn’t as easily dissuaded by Democratic leaders’ lack of imagination past Republican roadblocks: Missouri’s Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter organizer since the movement’s inception and former unhoused mother herself.

“Today, as a Congresswoman, I remember what it was like for us to live out of my car when I’m thinking about how to legislate on behalf of my district,”

“I think about how society wanted me to believe that being unhoused was my fault. We have a deeply rooted misconception in our country that unhoused people have done something to deserve their conditions ─ when the reality is that unhoused people are living the consequences of our government’s failure to secure the basic necessities people need to survive.”

Bush slept outside of the Capitol for three nights, leading the call for government intervention. And it worked, for now. Biden secured protection for 60 days, leaving the clock ticking down to October 3.

“With the virus’s delta variant quickly spreading throughout the United States, renters in about 90 percent of the country qualify for the new moratorium,” the

reported sourcing a statement from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Though public scrutiny did spark presidential intervention, the change coming after the moratorium’s official expiration left families across America with eviction notices on their doors.

It was too late for too many– one of those families, from Huntington, West Virginia, is Neera Doss Burner, her husband Greg Burner and their two children.

“It was the most stressful time of my life, honestly,” Doss Burner said, referring to the overlap between school starting, seeking safety and shelter and enduring the eviction process in court.

“Not knowing where we were going to live if the new house didn’t close in time was traumatic. I’d homeschooled the children for the past year, so I was already nervous about them going to in-person school… Then I was trying to manage the eviction, too.”

The notice to vacate the home they’ve shared for four years came after 18 months of bare-minimum maintenance done to the property by their landlord, creating below-standard living conditions: a cookie sheet covering a hole in the ceiling, fallen trees and storm debris untouched, water damage shown on multiple walls and mold covered by paint (to name a few).

The Burners’ landlord began the eviction process due to two missed rent payments in July and August of this year.

Withholding payment, according to the family, was one last effort to provide their children– one who has a respiratory condition already– with a house that didn’t threaten their health in addition to COVID’s spread.

The Burners said that the magistrate did not consider well-documented proof of their decrepit rental. “It’s incredible that he didn’t even look at our evidence showing the home was unsanitary. He really didn’t care if our children were at risk,” Doss Burner said. “All he cared about was getting us out of his courtroom in under 15 minutes and that in itself is an issue because it isn’t justice. It’s laziness. If our magistrates look at these ‘small’ court cases without care, what else do they not care about?”

Before their new house closed on August 25, they had to decide whether to live out of a hotel or split up at family and friends’ houses– using public wifi along the way and keeping as much as they could in a UHaul. Still, the couple says they’re fortunate to have already been pursuing homeownership by the time eviction protection ran out.

“If we had been renting again, with an eviction on our record, it would be so hard to secure a home,” she said. “We’re buying a house during a pandemic, so there are delays in the bank and with eviction protection, this would not be the situation that we’re in. It’s very stressful. It’s very sad. I’m having to take time off from work because I’m trying to secure where my family is going within a week.”

The eviction process takes a physical and mental toll, worsened further by comorbidities the family navigates. Doss Burner is chronically ill, and the progress she had made maintaining weight hasn’t recovered since before the notice to leave their home.

Her daughter also has a preexisting condition and has transitioned back to homeschooling for two weeks after being exposed to a peer who tested positive for COVID. The potential quarantine periods from school transmission are more expected with three people who frequent classrooms– the two primary-school-aged children and Greg Burner teaching middle school in Wayne County.

“Homeschooling was fun and rewarding, but when I started working again it was very hard to balance my workload and also ensure the children were getting all the necessary lessons they needed,” Doss Burner said. “My mother and I made our own syllabus. I loved teaching by using video games and I stand by that as an educational aid. Even though I was worried, I was excited for them to go back to school. Now that she’s home again on quarantine, I’ve realized that this is going to be the way it is for a while. It makes it hard for parents to plan.”

Eviction protection would have a direct impact on healthcare. According to a new study from MIT,

‘Ending an eviction moratorium increases Covid-19 hazard,’

comorbidities like the Burners live with are exacerbating the severity of the pandemic. “On average, when a state lifted its moratorium and let evictions resume, the hazard of contracting Covid-19 was 1.39 times greater after five weeks and 1.83 times greater after 12 weeks, rather than if the moratorium had continued.”

“When people had three or more comorbidities, that likelihood increased by 2.37 times within 12 weeks. The hazard of contracting Covid-19 in non-affluent areas, and in areas of high rent burden, were 2.14 times and 2.31 times higher, respectively, within 12 weeks in states that lifted eviction moratoriums, as opposed to maintaining them,” MIT reported.

Sebastian Sandoval-Olascoaga, currently a Ph.D. student and co-author of the report, found that community wellbeing devolves as individuals and families are unhoused. “Not having access to a stable way of sheltering yourself from the pandemic can be very impactful for how the pandemic spreads, not just for you but for your community. There are spillover effects, and there is a transmission process created by evictions within a community,” he said.

Though Doss Burner feels failed by public resources threefold– from Congress’ inability to secure eviction protection to a legal system ignoring inhumane living conditions, and the Board of Education’s responsibility if a child dies from COVID– she believes being open about their displacement will help the mounting number of families facing eviction. “I’m not the only person. If you’re going through eviction, you will feel like you’re worthless. You will feel like the court just told you you’re nothing, that you don’t even deserve a home. Don’t listen to it. You are not what they say and they do not determine your worth or value,” she said.

“When a state lifted its moratorium and let evictions resume, the hazard of contracting Covid-19 was 1.39 times greater after five weeks and 1.83 times greater after 12 weeks, rather than if the moratorium had continued," a new study from MIT concluded.

The year 2020 will go down in history as one of the most chaotic and sad years in human history. The Black Lives Matter movement to a deadly global pandemic ruined so many lives, futures, and potential memories.

In February of 2020, a month after, one of my idols, Kobe Bryant, died in a tragic helicopter crash. I got the news that my Dad had cancer, a rare stomach cancer called mesothelioma, and his prognosis was grim.

It was just by my luck that this news came on a game day. I’ve been a starting basketball player for my high school since my Sophomore year. There was an expectation on me in my Junior year to be a leader.

I walked on the court with the weight of the world, thinking about losing my Dad. Mentally, I couldn’t shake the thought. My Dad has watched every game and most of my practices since I started playing basketball at age five. Looking into the stands and not seeing or hearing him knowing that he could die really impacted my game.

I didn’t play my best even though I finished with 22 points and a handful of rebounds, and we lost.

It was the most challenging night of my entire sixteen-year-old life. I mean, tough. I felt like I didn’t want to play basketball anymore, and as I battled inside my emotions, I wondered why I wanted to quit the game I thought I loved and had dedicated so much time to. I didn’t care about my future at this point. I was always thinking, “Why me?”

Looking back, I understand how kids give up. Some leave athletics, turn to drugs, or other destructive behaviors. I was full of worry and self-pity, but I just kept going to school, going to practice, and trying to imagine my future in college.

My Dad’s diagnosis was still unknown, and this was hard. My team knew I was hurting, and they let me know they needed me. We were heading into the playoffs and could win. I started to have a shift. It sounds cliche, but I stopped thinking about myself and more about we.

We won the first two games of the playoffs and made it into the regional championship game. This would be the game that decided whether we make it to the State tournament.

It just happened to be the day my Dad was sent to Michigan to receive his chemotherapy treatment. It was March 12, 2020.

I’ll never forget that day.  I felt so alone at my teammate’s house while my family is in Michigan, ensuring my father is alright getting ready to play the biggest game of my life.

The game started slow, our coach yelled at us, and then something in me clicked. I catch an alley-oop and dunk it. The crowd goes crazy. I block a shot and go down the lane and make a reverse layup.

I can’t describe this feeling. The crowd is cheering for my talent and knowing everything that’s on my mind with my Dad.

We won the regional championship, and we advanced to the state tournament.  My dad’s surgery went well, he’s on his way home, and all I can think about is getting to play at the new Charleston Civic Center, a dream I’ve had since I was a little boy. My mental state is at an all-time high.

Then the next day, Governor Justice announces the postponement of all state tournaments due to Covid-19. I remember where I was. In eighth-period history class and I look down at my phone. Charleston Catholic is very strict about it, but it was a special circumstance, so my teacher understood.

I read the message from my coach and couldn’t believe it. It was like a wave of disbelief went through all of our bodies as I told my classmates the news. Then a few moments later, our principal announced we would be doing virtual learning.

This is an ache that I will never forget. We were allowed one last practice, during which our team was devastated, and we cried our eyes out together.

At this moment in time, I completely changed my outlook on life. I’ve embraced a more positive outlook. The “why me?” mentality is gone.

By April, the state tournament was officially canceled. This means we will never know who won the tournament, and it’s like a ghost of an opportunity. I kept practicing my positive thinking and started imagining all the time I had to work on my game for next year.

https://wvmetronews.com/2020/03/31/cchs-satterfield-leads-class-a-all-state-roster/

If I needed proof that a positive attitude works, I got it. Just on the 2020 State Tournament heels being canceled for all eternity, I was awarded First Team All-State Captain. One of the most prestigious awards in West Virginia high school basketball.

I thought, me, Aiden Satterfield, that kid who always sat on the bench had grown up literally to 6’6 and earned one of the highest athletic awards in the State, and I still had another year of High school to perform.

It felt surreal. My Dad was healthy, and my team made it to the States. I earned a prestigious award all while the world seemed so unsure. I felt so much gratitude.

These few months in 2020 changed everyone’s life, but they helped me develop a perspective that I will carry for the better. I learned that I couldn’t control anything but my attitude. Little kids look up to me now, and I’m so happy I didn’t give up and can be an example for others.

People often ask me why I smile and work so hard at basketball. I say, what is supposed to happen will happen and that God will take care of me,

On Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we sent out a request seeking input for a comprehensive listing of policies that impact Black people’s lives in West Virginia as defined by individuals and organizations working to support or oppose 2021 legislation in West Virginia.

We are asking you to share or submit to our survey using this google form

We hope to organize and compile the policy agenda survey and publish the legislative priorities shared –

and equally policymakers and shapers that do not respond –

to this request so that those with a stake in them can be better informed of the legislative process.

Your responses to this survey will inform article(s) that will be used to increasing civic engagement throughout the legislative session.

All responders will receive a copy of this report.

You contribute to writing history with your response, as there has never before been a published Black legislative agenda for West Virginia.

Again, here is the link to the 2021 WV Black Legislative Agenda survey.

The 2021 West Virginia Black Legislative Agenda

The 2021 West Virginia Black Legislative Agenda?

THE 2021 WEST VIRGINIA BLACK LEGISLATIVE AGENDA

It began with the spark of an idea from an entrepreneur, Crystal Good, that caught ablaze with the help of a beautiful connector, Johnna Bailey, who knew a brown-skinned girl,

with a bit of writing talent. We plotted to understand and ask, if a collective Black Legislative Agenda for West Virginia existed and, if not, how we could help spark one.

We collected information between work schedules and time zones – it was a quick push to complete. We wanted to reach as many people as we could, from lawmakers to movers, shakers, and everyday citizens, to share their voices.

And at first, I found myself unsure of what a “Black Legislative Agenda” was and tried to make sense of the policy conversation I found myself in with two women who seemed to have a good deal of knowledge on policy and policy organizations across West Virginia.

Why have I never heard of these programs or policy initiatives? I am a learned person? I keep abreast of happenings?

Our mission is one for the underdog that got left behind in the policy-making process and education.

Our brainstorming began with the inquiry: What policies are you trying to put forth during the upcoming legislative session?

This ignited discussions with more profound meaning and context that essentially led to the realization that what we are trying to put together is something that has never been done before, a new endeavor, The Black Legislative Agenda.

Not an agenda for the working class or one which would encompass all minorities, but one agenda to be considered by the legislature of West Virginia with the interest of Black men, women, and children of our state at the forefront.

My colleagues and I decided on several pointed questions to ask in a short survey, and we sent this information out in an email blast.

We inquired of community members by asking them if they participated in the legislative sessions and what policies and bills they were putting forth, supporting, or opposing.

Additionally, we wanted to know why organizations and individuals support, for example, The Crown Act. We asked what impact they thought bills and policy have on West Virginia? We asked if organizations were opposing any bills, and again, if so, why?

We asked if people knew other organizations doing policy work for the Black community. Every question was pertinent and essential. I liked that our mission was not just social but also scientific.

As our survey began to populate and I continued to have meaningful conversations with my colleagues, I noticed something. With disappointment, we didn’t have responses from many lawmakers.

But on the flipside of that, we did hear from smaller organizations and involved citizens. While the lawmakers may be more of the movers and the shakers, I was happy to hear from the “everyman.”

Patterns started emerging as we created a chart and began to analyze the survey results.

We built our categories around the House and Senate

began to fill up with requests to extended Medicaid benefits and maternal health benefits and services.

created because we received so many responses regarding The Crown Act, a policy designed to stop the discrimination on race-based hairstyles. This category also included The Katherine Johnson Fair Pay Act.

You can read an update on both these (or any) bills using the

Rick Martin, former President of the Charleston branch NAACP, shared his vision to enrich African-American youth’s lives by understanding the unrecognized parallel in need for police reform. This was echoed by several others who raised the need for reform in response to the concern over suspension and expulsion policies of K-12 education.

Going hand in hand with education was a plea for equal access to technology. More specifically, the Morgantown chapter of the NAACP acknowledged disparities in access for all to broadband and internet capabilities.

As Covid-19 continues to dominate our world, education will continue to be an “online” process. It is more essential than ever that the internet be an amenity that is accessible to all.

One result of our outreach was the Black By God

As I processed our results, the categories with the most attention and concern, certain realities became clear to me.

African-Americans are kept down and have always been kept down or left behind in a very sneaky, systematic manner.

My proof is in the very policies that are being put forth.

There have always been sneaky, conniving ways to keep Black people from gaining a seat at the head of the table, and when we do arrive, it’s “

Oh, you have braids in your hair, that won’t do.

The Black Legislative Agenda is a start in attempting to organize a conversation around policies.

It is a huge undertaking, a big idea that can help support Black people raise their voices in confidence just like the recent Young, Gifted and Black in West Virginia Policy Makers did.
