Maynard Jr. who is a Assistant Professor of Law at University of Louisville, Louis D Brandeis School of law.. And he is a huge part of the Sussex Squad! eekkkkk!!!! We are beyond excited!! He brings a level headed educational approach to the smack down he gives the British Royal Reporters who insist on pushing negativity, racist dog whistle, outright racism, classism, misogynoir etc narrative towards the Duchess of Sussex. We discussed why these narratives are dangerous for not only the Duchess but for women of color worldwide. We also tackled yellow journalism in the UK press with regards to the duchess.
